About Mynd Leadership

'Mynd' is a play on words, or three words to be precise:

  • the Welsh word (pronounced 'minned') meaning 'to go' or 'mynd i bod' meaning 'going to be/to become'

  • as an abbreviation of 'my new direction' that often prompts clients to seek my services

  • a play on the word 'mind' and the psychological basis of change, behaviours and relationships. 

​

All three words connect to the purpose and approach of Mynd Leadership.

Dr Nicola Williams

DPhil, CPsychol, AFBPsS, PCC

I am founder and Director of Mynd Leadership. I have been coaching senior leaders for over 10 years, in the public, private and charity sector, passionate about coaching and the impact it can have for the individual and their wider system.

 

My approach is relational - to build strong connections and create a space to enable people to think deeply, through careful listening and skilful challenge. Specialising in systemic work and psychological models, I believe in the potential of the person to find their own solutions, my role being to facilitate and enable that. 

​

Having worked in the NHS for nearly 30 years in senior and executive roles at a local and national level, I have advised on national change programmes in all four UK nations - coaching people, programmes and processes. I have developed coaching strategy and evaluation programmes.

​

I am a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society and the Division of Coaching Psychology. I hold an MSc in Coaching & Development, an ILM level 7 in Coaching Supervision, a Doctorate, an MSc in Social Research and am a certified practitioner of a number of tools that support coaching conversations (Kornferry ESCI/Styles & Climate/K4FD Certification, Insightful Leader 360, Team Performance Accelerator, and the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQi) and BarOn Emotional Quotient -360 (EQ-360)).
