Excellent leaders.

Thriving teams.

I work with people to make a difference. 

I'm Nikita Picugin.

With experience across political advocacy, social work, leadership and management, professional development and workforce training, public speaking, and organisational governance I have ‘been there, done that’. 

I build strong relationships, identify motivations, core strengths and current pressure points, and weave these insights together into highly actionable plans for sustainable positive change.

I help you and your team to create a compelling vision for your future,  and identify actionable strategies and research based tools to achieve better results in life and work.
