As
Guardian Law and Guardian
People Management's founder, I work predominantly behind the scenes, empowering business leaders to navigate their most challenging people issues with confidence and control.
I'm the calm presence who transforms HR nightmares into manageable situations, ensuring you maintain your employer brand and personal wellbeing when employee relationships become difficult.
As a business owner and employer, I understand that while managing people is crucial, it's often secondary to your core business operations. This dual perspective enables me to provide both legally sound and commercially practical solutions.
Some clients engage my services after crisis has struck, requiring swift damage limitation while preserving dignity and business continuity. However, my preference is working proactively with forward-thinking leaders to prevent disputes entirely through smart people management strategies, avoiding the stress and expense of lengthy conflicts.
Whether you need crisis intervention or strategic planning, I'm here to guide you through your current challenge with expertise and understanding.
Nickie focuses on assisting leaders in creating business-focused people strategies,
project management and navigating complex workplace challenges, including
dismissals, restructures, and sensitive exit conversations. She has been a solicitor
since 2002.
