About me,
Niki Corbishley

Hi, I’m Niki Corbishley, a leadership coach specialising in helping senior HR leaders reconnect with themselves, rebuild confidence and create purposeful next chapters through the NooWay®.

"My confidence has increased so much through Niki’s coaching. I can’t recommend Niki highly enough."
Amanda, Senior Leader

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching is grounded in calm, clarity and lived experience. I bring two decades of senior HR leadership together with a strengths-led coaching approach to create a space where you can think, breath and explore what you really need. I help you cut through the noise, reconnect with who you are beneath the role and make confident, intentional choices about what comes next.

Balance

I live near Towcester with my husband and cocker spaniel, Oakley. I love being outdoors - cycling, hiking, and running are my favourite ways to recharge. I understand what it takes to run a business, lead at a senior level, and protect a healthy work‑life balance.

Professional Experience

I spent more than twenty years in senior HR and leadership roles, supporting organisations through growth, complexity and constant change. I know the pressure of being the steady one and the quiet toll it can take. That experience - the highs, the heartaches and the hard lessons, together with my coaching knowledge and neuroscience, now informs the depth and empathy I bring to every coaching session.

About Me

My Journey

1. A New Beginning & Passion

Noo Coaching began after I reached burnout, at a point where I knew I couldn’t keep working in a way that left me feeling as if I wasn’t good enough.

Stepping away from my HR Director role wasn’t planned, but it gave me the space I desperately needed. Through that space I discovered something important - when I worked in a way that aligned with my strengths, supported my energy and reflected who I am now, not who I thought I had to be, everything changed. I became more confident, more energised and more fulfilled than I’d ever been in my career.

That experience shaped the NooWay® and the work I do today. Now I help senior HR leaders reconnect with themselves, trust their strengths again and create careers and lives that feel purposeful and true to who they are.

2. Qualifications & Expertise

I’m accredited with the ICF (ACC) and hold the EMCC Professional Diploma in Coaching. I also have a Masters in Human Resource Management and I’m an Insights Discovery Practitioner.

My work blends professional training with real-world leadership experience and the proven NooWay® framework.
About Me

My Story

A New Beginning & Passion for Coaching

I remember the moment everything shifted, I was standing outside work, exhausted and overwhelmed, knowing something had to change. After two decades in senior HR roles, the pressure, responsibility and constant adapting had taken their toll. I resigned without a plan, not because I had the answers, but because I finally admitted I couldn’t keep going as I was.

Stepping away gave me the chance to reconnect with myself. I realised I’d been molding myself into who I thought I should be, rather than honouring who I truly am. In that space, the NooWay® was born -  a framework built from lived experience, evidence-based coaching and a deep belief that fulfilment comes from alignment, not approval.

Today, I’m doing my most meaningful work. Coaching allows me to use everything I’ve learned from burnout, the rebuilding, the rediscovery of my own value, to guide HR leaders who feel stuck, drained or unsure of their next chapter. I help them reconnect with their truth, trust their strengths again and create a life that feels purposeful, balanced and genuinely their own.
