Our speaker this month is the fabulous Nicky Lloyd Graeme aka The Stress Specialist Limited.
Nicky wasn't always The Stress Specialist. A good few years ago, she was the woman crying in the bathroom after work, wondering how life got so overwhelming. Sound familiar?
After hitting her own stress rock-bottom (complete with the classic "I'm fine" smile while falling apart inside), Nicky decided enough was enough. She dove deep into stress management - not (initially) for a qualification, but for survival.
Plot twist: it worked.
Now, with over 10 years of professional experience and hard-won personal wisdom, Nicky helps individuals and organisations build resilience and create psychologically safe environments. Through workshops, speaking, and coaching, she shares practical strategies that actually work in the real world - because she's tested them all.
Nicky's approach? Fun, genuine, and zero judgment. She knows what it's like to feel stuck, and she's passionate about helping others find their way out.
Her mission: Help people stress less and thrive more - without the motivational poster nonsense.
In this Months Session
You'll walk away with practical insights you can use immediately. You'll discover what stress really is (spoiler: it's not just being "busy") and why your brain thinks everything is a saber-toothed tiger. Nicky will share simple, science-backed strategies to manage stress in the moment - no meditation apps required - plus how to spot your personal stress signals before you hit the crying-in-the-bathroom stage. You'll get real-world tools that work whether you're in a boardroom or dealing with toddler meltdowns. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list. It's about understanding your stress response and having actual techniques that fit into your real, messy, wonderful life.
