Nicola S. Morgan is a dynamic speaker, trainer, and author who helps individuals and organisations transform chaos into calm, and emotional strain into sustainable strength. With a background in education and behavioural change, she specialises in resilience, emotional wellbeing, and effective behaviour strategies—skills she’s delivered to thousands of professionals across schools, public services, and corporate teams.

Nicola’s powerful storytelling and practical frameworks have earned her accolades, including Best TEDx Talk 2024 at the Speaker Awards, where her talk resonated deeply with audiences navigating stress and uncertainty.

She’s not just a speaker—she’s walked the talk. From overcoming a fear of deep water to completing a swim across the English Channel, Nicola’s own journey fuels her message about courage, mindset, and unfinished business.

Whether she’s helping a school leader navigate conflict or guiding a speaker to handle stage pressure with grace, Nicola equips people with the tools to stay calm, connected, and effective—even under stress.

What You’ll Discover:

  • What drove Nicola to swim the English Channel… despite a fear of deep water
  • How “unfinished business” can become a secret weapon for confidence and growth
  • The behind-the-scenes story of her award-winning TEDx talk—and whether that captain’s comment haunted or inspired her
  • The surprising moment she realised she had a message the world needed to hear
  • The resilience skill that works just as well in a school staffroom as it does in a high-stakes boardroom
  • Why the strongest speakers aren’t the toughest—but the most flexible
  • The personal ‘Nicola-ism’ she uses before taking the stage to stay grounded and in control
  • The biggest mindset shift she had to make moving from teacher and writer to keynote speaker
  • A simple behaviour shift that can instantly boost your speaker presence
  • The #1 lie your brain tells you when you’re under pressure—and how to shut it down fast

Enjoy!
