We Thought Nicky Was

From REAL people

After seeing Nicky perform at 2 very different events, which can only be described as life changing, we booked her to ‘do something different’ for our people, covering all departments from warehouse to office. The resulting hour long “docu style” film had the whole company feeling every emotion from pride, reflection, intensity of ambition – and a finale we could never in a million years have pre-guessed that literally had us crying with laughter for days. Nicky is not ordinary, she is UNIQUE. Do not expect ‘the usual’. We asked the question is she ‘a little mad?’ – let me answer that question for you right now once and for all...she is a ‘one of a kind’ genius, the likes of which you do not meet too often.

Nicky has just wowed our 250 strong business audience at breakfast. I am not exaggerating when I describe it as priceless genius! I'm convinced that if Nicky had told all to 'strip' we would all have taken our clothes off! Such was the powerful captivation of her presence! Might not have been a pretty sight though! MAGIC , PURE MAGIC!!

I attended a Masterclass of Nicky’s 18 months ago and kept in touch. After deciding my business needed to expand into new directions, I knew the only person I needed to talk to was Nicky. After spending a morning with her I’m off at 100 miles an hour in the right direction for my business. She is quite simply amazing. I heart Nicky Pattinson and if you knew her, you would heart her too

I attended last week's event in Doncaster. I had to email you to say that the event was truly fantastic in every way.
You are a truly inspirational women who is clearly passionate about what she does, and like me, is totally devoted their child. I got so much out of this event you would not believe. Parts of your story really touched me and almost reduced me to tears. I found your sense of humour incredible. Laughing and crying at the same time is very therapeutic!. Just what I needed to help me with the stress of being a single parent and running my own business.
Thanks!

Janet Rankine Carnival Cuisine

I've just read your "thank-you note" to those of us who were at the Doncaster event last week.I've already been in contact via Facebook and Twitter but just wanted to thank you again for a very inspiring day....Amazing!

Naomi Johnson

Great to meet you yesterday, Julie and I were really taken by you and your talent. You really do have a USP that I have not come across before

Tracey Baker, Head of Sport http://www.sport-sheffield.com

“I just want to drop you a line to say OH MY GOD you were brilliant today! I have not had the pleasure of being at one of your hiyaitsnicky events before and the stories you told gave me either goosebumps or had me in fits of laughter. I like your 'what you see is what you get' attitude”

Alison Corvers

AT BVCA we are in the privileged position that we get to work with the best of the best. To be a global leader in your arena to align yourself with a particular capacity of people is your only option. Nicky Pattinson is very different to anyone we have ever met - a character who is not afraid to say it how it is to please anybody else... and she has a right to her opinions - her record and experience has been the stuff of HOLLYWOOD. 2 hours with her and we felt we had been shaken above any top of the pile level we had previously reached. . She is honest, a true friend on the first meeting, real, unimaginably inspiring AMAZING. A STAR. We're booking her for more NOW - in 12 months time we may well have lost her to the USA.

Jane Houghton www.bvca.co.uk

She really made me think about some things that I thought I already knew... and watching her with everyone we met in NYC that day was like theatre! Absolutely everyone was mesmerized - from the doorman at the hotel to the cafe counter kids. Really something to see.

Dana Weekley

I went back to NYC to meet with Nicky Pattinson yesterday. Got to her hotel and asked for her at the front desk. As soon as I mentioned her name, their faces turned to smiles. I knew what that meant. Then, at the cafe, she won over the staff in less than 5 mins. They kept talking about her. It was like theater, but not just entertaining... Memorable! Our meeting was like nothing I've ever done before. And I've done a lot!

Dana www.ninetomatoes.com

Thank you so much for inviting me. You were wonderful and I am so proud of you. You go girl!!!! it's all waiting for you to arrive. You speak from the heart and with that comes the truth. It's so refreshing and powerful. You look as beautiful as I remember...

Theresa www.ninetomatoes.com

To call Nicky intuitive is an understatement! She gets it (whatever your 'it' may be) so fast and will then work on improving it with you with as if it were her own. She is honest, upfront and full of passion. Listen and learn. She knows what she's talking about and
your life will never be the same.'

Katie Drabkin www.wheresthegame.com

Hiya Nicky it's Lou here - I've just heard your interview on Wilma (Smarter then the Average Bear) telesummit. What a bloody great breath of fresh air AND a timely kick up the arse for me you are. THANKS from the bottom of my heart and from the middle, top and both sides. You sure chucked the ball back over the fence.

Lou Walters

From the day I first met you, to watching your video today, I still think you are absolutely amazing! The work that you do and the feelings that you create in people is phenomenal xxx

Kiri Edwards

Everything about it including getting lost and the snow made it really special.. From the start it was like you’d known me for years and you really seemed to “get” what I am about... which many don’t (LOL)!! Your creative approach and imagination are infectious and I’m now seeing things from a whole new angle and can’t wait to see how these ideas evolve. I’m really excited and totally buzzing!!! You are a total STAR!!! Thank you Nicky...

Hayley Erner Master Business Coach

Nicky has been like magic in this business the results have been instant and impressive. Nicky is one of the most committed and single minded people I have ever had the pleasure in working with. She is totally committed to delivering a successful project whatever it takes!!!

Sophie Brown, Financial Controller Leeds Bradford International Airport

I’ve just received the book this morning. Haven’t read it yet can’t get passed the stage of looking at it and touching it (and that’s just the gold envelope!). Seriously though, I love, LOVE the branding. Right, I’d better try and concentrate and get on with some work. Well, maybe after I’ve had a sneaky read!

Donna Robson Pitman Training Swansea

Thank you for organising the day! I would say it has influenced me in a big way, I am more motivated and determined to improve the way I deliver appointments, follow up and just the way I am with new enquiries. Also to use David Amos' way of selling alongside with how Nicky sells. I think they both tie in so well together. I would recommend all Franchisees to attend, they would be silly not too! I look forward to next time!

Leanne Waring PT Cardiff

Nicky Pattinson is a breath of fresh air and legitimises the human face of business

Andrea Ward, Marketing Manager Palmer and Harvey

Dana and I thought the day was great and we can't wait for the next instalment. Nicky is truly inspiring and I have already made 2 sales using her technique. How's that for a testimonial?

Monica Pollard PT Basingstoke

Found the event inspirational. Nikki's energy for my personal business was very rewarding. The highlight for me was the tools that I took away that are instantly applicable & transferable into my centre. I'm going to get our centre supervisor on the next one

Kevin Greening PT Middlesbrough

Nicky was fabulous - Friday 10th October 2008 was a strange day for business - with the stock market in turmoil and the media trying to make it sound even worse... but she managed to get our members back on their feet and thinking creatively and positively. An absolute star performer

Debbie Nice, Marketing Director Office Friendly Dealer Association

Nicky was sensational! A dynamic, engaging and inspirational speaker who kept you on the edge of your seat! Engaging and dynamic and the audience
loved her

Louise Boyle Everywoman Ltd.

When we met I couldn't decide if she was a deluded crazy girl - or a sales and motivation genius. Let me categorically state, it's the latter

Tim Davey, Chairman Northside Mercedes

Dentistry and the way service is delivered to the patient is changing beyond recognition. We needed someone who could work with 543 at all levels to create a dialogue that would promote our own DENCAP dental plan and motivate our people to create an experience that put this company amongst the best in the UK. From day 1 of launch the change in both conversions and staff dynamism and commitment was off the scale. Can I just say that Nicky is both commercially talented and unique to work with. Is she worth her money? Without any shadow of a doubt

Chris Groombridge, Managing Director 543 Dental Centre Ltd.

We weren't trying to do much! We just wanted to rewrite the codes and practices of the beauty industry. An industry dominated by big corporate giants with £billions of pounds behind them. We had sold our first ever lipstick 6 months previously and couldn't quite understand why our retail sales performance wasn't yet ahead of L'Oreal's. We didn't have massive financial backing behind us, but that shouldn't stop us! All we needed was some magic.

In walks Nicky Pattinson and all of a sudden we start out performing brands with £billions in brand equity. In Selfridges Oxford St, we start out selling the big boys with glossy advertising campaigns to support them. Sales literally tripled overnight.

All eyes were on us now. The big boys wanted to know how WE were doing it. Yes the little company that had just started trading 6 months previously was causing a stir.

Nicky creates an impression on everyone who is fortunate enough to meet her. For me she created a lasting impression on my sales team, which benefits me now and will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Since Nicky spent time in my stores not only have sales increased substantially, but so have the number of letters and emails I receive from customers who have been delighted with the service they have received from my staff.

Nicky makes the impossible possible

Jonathan Mycock

Nicky Pattinson is quite simply a phenomenon. There are many people who can motivate and encourage but very few who possess the mixture of boundless enthusiasm, refined intuition and inspirational life experience to redefine the horizons of those they meet. Nicky combines perception, analysis and messaging with a unique personal delivery which leaves her audience no hiding place. And I mean every word!

Wow! Nicky you’re an amazing lady! I attended the breakfast meeting along with 250 others and through tears of laughter you charged the room with excitement and enthusiasm. Listening to you talk about your own experiences and how just being yourself, is the best thing ever and if you have a dream or goal to just go for it. In a world of political correctness and where being a normal human being is frowned on, you showed that in today’s world we all like to feel that we’re not just a number.

You have an unbelievable way of helping others to see what they want with such simplicity. Your personality and actions made me feel like I’d known you all of my life. You connected to us all like no other speaker that I have seen before. It was captivating, hilarious, thought provoking, endearing and most of all inspiring! It’s so great to meet someone so successful but so down to earth. I left the meeting with a skip in my step and a new lease of life

Jo Lorenz The Super Eds

I finally got to see you in action at your ‘From Hull to Hollywood’ event. It was well worth the wait. I got exactly what I was expecting: YOU. Your passion, energy, common sense (which is not so common!), and acute insight shone through. You’re definitely an inspiration and catalyst for change – and a dynamic and thought-provoking speaker. I loved your ability to connect with the audience, your ability to connect with people within business - I especially got this from the people I spoke with in the coffee break who had personally experienced your impact – and the brilliance in the simplicity of your paradigm changing approach.

Sarah L Marshall BSc (Hons www.raincastles.com

I came along today to the "women in business" event at Keepmoat, and was totally blown away.... I've been in business for over 22 years and I honestly thought I'd seen it all.... (I know... I know, I'm a guy at the women in business event, how did that happen??)

I've seen Tony Robbins many times ..... but WOW !!! .... I thought your presentation today was truly PHENOMINAL!!!
P.S. I am very rarely as impressed as I was today, I've seen many supposed business 'consulatants' and most are using the same old rolled out bullsh*t... Either I'm softening in my old age or you're just SO MUCH BETTER than you probably believe you are.... I really hope this doesn't come over patronising but... FANTASTIC, and very well done!!

Stuart Thompson MD www.interoffice.co.uk

After having fairly low expectations of speakers these days – I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing on Thursday.
From start to finish, amazing, and the 2 hours went like 20 minutes! The best speaker i have ever seen and yes, i’d see you again and again – just genius.

Janet Bebb www.socialprogress.co.uk

I have now heard Nicky twice at two very different events – one in a packed out theatre which was where I bought a ticket and another event was held at my venue for 50 HR Directors. This woman keeps you mesmerised from the minute she starts to the point where you don’t want her to finish. I have seen loads of speakers as part of my job but I have never wanted to stay awake to hear the next words coming out of someone’s mouth! Enthralling, captivating and just an all round fantastic person – if you get the chance to see her DO NOT turn it down!!!!!

Jason McDaid www.countryparkinn.co.uk

I have never seen or heard anything so incredible as the way Nicky re-framed my business. It literally went from significant to stratospheric in 4 hours! No-one had been able to FIND me and my place in the way Nicky did that Thursday morning in Los Angeles.

Peter Charles MASTER BODYWORKER

Nicky is a TOTAL PHENEMENOM, she has a gift and knows exactly how to use it. What she does is pure magic, I walked in feeling lost not sure what direction to go in, after a morning with Nicky I gained total clarity over what I was doing and the direction to go down, not only that my passion was reignited and I had fire inside me again!! Nicky is truly inspirational and was worth every penny and more. Her talent is priceless! Everybody NEEDS a session with Nicky!! She is a legend!!

Louise Rodriguez

Wow....Nicky....what a brilliant personality. So many times in the business world, we meet "unreal" people, but this lady is authentic. No one can match her energy and I don't see how she couldn't be of benefit to any company.

A. Johnson - www.bondnewyork.com Licensed Real Estate Agent

After five years of phone calls and emails, I was sure I knew how to do things the Nicky Way. I've got this, I thought. Then I finally sat with her in person. What a blow to find out I hadn't gotten it at all!!! Nicky took me on a ride and I'm still absorbing and processing what happened! Yes, there were words flying and pens twirling, but it was no ordinary "this is how you do it" meeting. This was energy work by a master who would never say that's what she's doing. But I recognize magic when I see it! She reached in and grabbed pieces of me that she sculpted into beautiful form. Had me shouting YES! YES! that's EXACTLY how I feel about who I am, what I do and why I'm doing it! Nicky's not for the feint hearted, but gather your strength and dive in. You'll just wish you'd done it sooner.

Dana www.ninetomatoes.com

It was absolutely fantastic to hear/see you speak last night. I think its safe to say NYC welcomes you !!!!!

Lauren Forman

I am listening to your interview with Wilma - I am loving your interview - you have a great natural connection - I feel I know you already.
You paid a high price for your wonderful free attitude and honesty - thanks for your great insights.
Please come back to Ireland!
I'm smiling listening to you as I write.
You're Lovely
Thanks again

Mary Dempsey

I’ve been working with Nicky for over a year now and I can simply sum her up as “A woman of Steel with a heart of gold. I’ve observed the impact which she’s had on both business folk and my students here at the University of Hull. A truly inspirational lady whom reaches the very core of one’s soul resulting in bringing one’s esteem, confidence and self belief to the forefront of one’s thinking and actions.”

John Buttrick Hull Childrens University

I was standing still and you nudged me.
I was looking for something to focus on and you showed me to focus on the service I provide.
You moved me. I moved forward. I developed the human approach in everything I do.
I have had the BEST year.
Thanks Nicky

Paula Elliot, Managing Director Pitman Training

What she’s says makes absolute sense and well worth a listen if you want to differentiate yourself, but it’s the way she delivers it that makes the impact! She really is one of a kind!”

Richard Tuplin The Insurance Partnership

HIYA II BOOK - OMG!!! Nicky, it is such a masterpiece!!! I want to hire you!! I want to be you!!! The testimonials, layout, and entire package just sing. This is what all “marketing” should be like… not marketing at all, but a recap of all we are doing well! It’s just awesome!

Mike Dooley http://www.tut.com

Nicky it was a delight to attend your event.
Darling Nicky I have been doing the personal development bit for a long time and paid a lot more to get a lot less than those privileged hours spent in Leeds on your workshop. You are full Monty smart, savvy, honest, forthright, incisive and hilarious. You hold your space with conviction and integrity. Your naturally empathetic manner meant we did not just attend a development day we had a life experience many thanks a new devotee x

Catherine Thompson - Founder and Director Jofish Ltd

Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for Friday! I have thought about "HIAYIT'SNICKY" all weekend and found meeting you so inspirational. I feel I have been given a different and clearer set of eyes to view the business and am really looking forward to applying your wisdom :) I will keep you updated about our increased sales because I know they are going to happen!

Leanne Waring PT Cardiff

NICKY WAS UTTERLY AWESOME... people just kept stopping me at the DreamStart conference and saying "she is the best, she was brilliant, where the hell did you find her???" In all honesty she was a big part in making this event the massive success it was. Book her now - she'll be an international superstar and then we've no chance

Danny Matharu, Director DREAMSTART Conference

I have 2 people to thank for the massive success Propaganda have had in the past 10 years. One is my grandfather - the other is Nicky Pattinson

Julian Kynaston, Chairman Propaganda

The feedback was beyond excellent - how does she have such insight? It's like a hotline into the minds of our sales people. Nicky is very much part of our group operation in 2009

Chris Lovell, CEO Golley Slater Group

Most people don't live up to the hype. Nicky Pattinson actually does

David Shimwell, Franchise Director Pitman Training Group

To say that Nicky Pattinson is motivational would be the understatement of the century. I have never seen anybody harness raw emotion and touch a group of people on so many levels the way she did during our training. I can honestly say she had a room full of strong willed, professional people rolling about the floor laughing one minute then in tears the next as they faced their personal demons. If there was a perfume named after her it would be called Genius

James Minahan, Make Up Artist Illamasqua Birmingham

I have seen many speakers on the corporate circuit over the past few years but none to match the energy, flamboyance and sheer conviction of Nicky Pattinson. Her style will have you sat upright and begging for more within seconds. Within the nitty gritty, her message drives home a few killer home truths that we all need from time to time in order kick start sales success. Be wary, she might just grab your sales team by the throat and start to make it happen!

Nick Horton EDT Nottingham

Nicky is one of the few people I have ever met who actually lives up to the hype
