About this work
What influential communication coaching with Nicky Anstey actually involves
Influential communication coaching with Nicky Anstey is one to one work for senior leaders, founders and executives whose influence has not kept up with their seniority. Nicky is a Master NLP Coach with more than 15 years working with senior leadership communication. The work draws on NLP, behavioural psychology and her wider Rewire Method to build the capacity to read rooms, speak with authority and lead high-stakes conversations.
When you have the title and the substance but not the room
You are technically the most senior person in the meeting, and the decisions still drift
You are technically the most senior person in the meeting. The decisions still drift in directions you did not intend. Other voices, less knowledgeable, end up carrying more weight. You replay it afterwards and can usually see what you should have said.
Underneath, you usually find imposter syndrome shaping how you take up space, or people pleasing softening every statement until it carries no weight. Communication training alone does not move it because the pattern lives below the words.
How the work moves
Influential Communication Coaching for Senior Leaders
The work covers three layers.
- Reading. What is actually going on in the room. The signals other people are giving you that you have stopped tracking.
- Speaking. The structure and delivery of what you say. Tightening, pacing, framing, weight.
- Leading. The moves that shape where conversation goes. Anchoring, redirecting, holding space, repairing.
Topics the work tends to address:
- Pitches and high-stakes presentations.
- Board meetings and senior peer rooms.
- Difficult conversations with colleagues, reports, clients.
- Public speaking and panels.
- Persuasion in writing.
- Managing strong personalities in your week.
Sessions use NLP, structured rehearsal and real situations from your week. Where the underlying pattern needs root-level work, this draws on the wider Rewire Method.

Why Nicky
Why Work With Nicky Anstey
She has lived it. Nicky experienced severe burnout during her own corporate career, then built her businesses through significant personal and health challenges. The story is not background. It is the reason the work goes deeper than most coaching.
She has the qualifications to go deep. Nicky is a qualified Executive Psychotherapist, Master NLP Coach, Master Hypnotherapist, Master Life and Business Coach, and a Registered Nutritionist aligned with medicine. Five disciplines inside one practitioner. Most coaches hold one.
She has the results. Over 1,000 clients have worked with Nicky and gone through the trademarked Rewire Method. Reduced pressure, clearer thinking, stronger leadership, healthier lives.
She is not a generalist. Nicky works specifically with high-achieving business owners and senior leaders. The people who others assume are fine, because they are still performing. Read more about Nicky here.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this public speaking training
It includes public speaking but is broader. Most senior leaders do not have a public speaking problem; they have a “leading the room” problem.
-
Will I be reading people manipulatively
No. NLP can be misused in that direction; Nicky does not work that way. The work is about reading accurately and responding well, not about manipulation.
-
Online or in person
Both. Practical rehearsal works well online with high-quality video.
-
Can my company sponsor this
Yes.
-
How long does the work take
Depends on the depth of the underlying pattern. Targeted skill work is shorter. Pattern work takes longer.
-
Is this the same as Rewire Coaching
It uses the Rewire Method, with communication and influence as the focus.
Working Across the UK and Internationally
