Nicky Gilkes's Linkedin Analytics

I'm someone who cares deeply about the planet we share; the welfare of all people; robust and efficient processes; effective collaboration and team productivity; and responsible profitability. Colleagues value me as a natural motivator who enjoys leading and inspiring teams to achieve their full potential; a creative problem solver and excellent communicator who enjoys making success happen around me; a 'solutions, not problems', can-do, results-driven team player; and someone who always finds a way to add value. At The Hive Change Consultancy, our team are committed to making the world a better place for future generations, with an approach integrates people, planet, and profit, aligning ethical values with corporate objectives. We deliver inspirational programs, specialising in leadership development; transforming underperforming teams; upskilling and reskilling for the future workforce; and powerful culture change initiatives. We help organisations to reach their goals by defining skill and knowledge gaps in leaders and teams, then designing the solutions to bridge those gaps and deliver lasting success. The Hive's solutions involve radically effective training and coaching which aligns teams and leaders around a powerful shared purpose and direction, unlocking their collective intelligence to enable innovative collaboration. Through skilled training and inspirational coaching we gain authentic buy-in for change, then motivate your people to develop their skills, knowledge and performance levels, increasing morale, productivity and profitability. Concurrently, as a Director at Blossoms Childcare Nursery, I oversee finance, marketing and HR, ensuring our services meet the vital needs of working families. Leveraging my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification and insights from my hands-on role, I contribute to the nurturing environment for children and support the seamless operations managed by my inspirational co-founder. Through devotion to excellence and strong partnerships with parents, we've successfully established a childcare haven where children are put before profits. Our highly qualified and passionate team role-model good behaviours while nurturing developing young minds by learning through play, preparing future generations for their journey through education, in an enabling and stimulating, free-flow indoor-outdoor, home-from-home setting.
