Hey. I'm Nika, Co-Founder and Head Coach at Thriving Daily.

My philosophy on leadership is simple: To truly lead other people, you must first lead yourself.

Here's what I mean by that. If you can't motivate yourself off the couch, how can you expect to motivate your team to run a marathon? Makes sense. Right?

This means that the first step to becoming an influential leader is doing the work on yourself, getting comfortable with uncertainty, navigating competing demands, and seeing opportunities where others only see problems. It's about building your own resilience to lead others effectively.

With over two decades in finance, I've gathered strategies to drive significant change and build lasting impact. And I know how challenging it can be to speak uncomfortable truths, especially when the stakes are high.

I remember a time when an exec asked for my opinion about a major project. I was the first one to say it's a car crash and here's why. I laid out my definition for success for the project, how it had been implemented and why, if my assumptions were true, it was failing. This was a big thing as people in the past had been fired for speaking their minds. A true leader isn't defined by their job title, but by their willingness to speak up when it's right for the company.

On a different occasion, I had to be respectfully but brutally honest with another senior manager and a colleague was present. I did what I felt was right and was surprised later when she approached me telling me she'd never seen that happen before and couldn't believe I'd had the courage to do it.

When you do the right things because they're right for your colleagues and for the company, you unconsciously give others permission to speak up too. You create a powerful ripple effect of positive change. That's the true power of leadership.

That deep understanding of leading yourself first, speaking the truth and empowering others is at the core of our Lead Forward Programme. Each cohort isn't just about me teaching you, it's about building a unique learning experience with a select group of ambitious leaders. Your insights and your day-to-day challenges will directly help us refine and enrich the programme, ensuring it evolves as your needs evolve. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of leadership.

I invite you to step up and secure your spot today. I'll see you soon.

Here’s How We Guide Your Transformation

The Lead Forward programme is meticulously designed, drawing on decades of high-impact experience and the latest research in organisational psychology to ensure every strategy is grounded in real-world impact.

Pillar 1: The Art of Inspiring Connection

Stop simply directing and start inspiring action with a compelling vision. Learn to articulate your strategic goals with clarity and passion, fostering a shared sense of purpose that motivates your team to go above and beyond. Why? Because when you communicate like a leader, you ignite passion and commitment, transforming your team from subordinates to inspired followers invested in your vision.

Pillar 2: The Courage to Shape the Future

Don’t just react to inevitable shifts - become the guiding force that navigates your team through change with confidence. Develop strategic foresight and communication skills to inspire adaptability and foster a culture of strength that withstands any challenge. This matters because, as a leader who champions resilience, you’ll not only steer your team through turbulent times but also build a legacy of stability and strength.

Pillar 3: Unleashing Collective Brilliance

Move beyond task delegation and start cultivating empowered individuals who contribute significantly. Learn to coach, mentor, and create a supportive environment where growth is nurtured. Here’s why that’s important: your ability to develop others directly translates to a more capable and engaged team, amplifying your impact and solidifying your leadership influence.

These are the pillars of influential leadership, and the most effective way to master them is within a focused, interactive cohort experience. Due to high demand, enrolment in Lead Forward is limited to ensure a personalised, high-impact environment. This is your exclusive opportunity to join a foundational group of ambitious leaders like you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Lead Forward different from a standard leadership course or an MBA?

While academic programmes are excellent for theoretical knowledge, Lead Forward is a focused, real-world leadership "do-shop." We don't just teach you the theories; we equip you with the practical, nuanced skills—like the "hat game" and building "trust balls"—that our founder used to drive real change inside demanding corporate environments. The focus is on immediate application and tangible impact.

What exactly does a "cohort-based experience" involve?

It means you will learn alongside a small, intentionally selected group of ambitious peers. Unlike a generic online course, our cohort model includes weekly live, interactive sessions where you can engage in real-time problem-solving, get personalised feedback from Nika, and learn from the diverse experiences of your fellow leaders. We keep the group small to ensure a high-impact, confidential environment.

Is this programme more about 'soft skills' or 'hard strategy'?

This programme is built on the principle that the most effective leaders master both. We bridge the gap between them. You will learn the "hard" strategic frameworks for leading through change and making high-stakes decisions, and you will master the "soft" skills of communication and influence required to get those strategies adopted and executed by your team.

I'm already a senior manager or director. Is this program still for me?

Lead Forward is specifically designed for experienced leaders who are asking, "What's next?" The programme isn't about learning to manage; it's about learning to create a legacy. We focus on the C-suite level skills—like cultivating powerful advocates, leading through uncertainty, and shaping culture—that separate great managers from truly transformative leaders.

What is the expected time commitment for the cohort?

The programme is designed for busy professionals. You can expect to dedicate approximately 2-3 hours per week for the duration of the cohort. This includes the weekly live session, self-study, and immediate application of the principles in your work. We believe this is a small investment for the significant return in your leadership effectiveness and career trajectory.

What does being a "Founding Member" actually involve?

As a Founding Member, you have a unique, one-time opportunity to help shape the future of this programme. It simply means we may occasionally ask for your insights and feedback to ensure the curriculum is maximally relevant to the challenges you face. In return, you receive our most exclusive offer and the special status of being part of the group that started it all.
