Nicole Gollan, Nik & Co. Consultancy
Nik & Co. Consultancy transforms lived experiences for First Nations communities by interweaving genuine reconciliatory practices into corporate and community settings. To work “with”, is far more advantageous! As a proud Ngarrindjeri woman and mother to an ever-growing young Aboriginal male in Australia, Nicole’s obligation to enact immediate change was obvious. Whilst seemingly farfetched to some, her goal to make this world a better place for him became a priority.
Nicole believes in a genuine, collective approach toward reconciliation, all reconciliation journeys are important. She supports by mapping out the needs of a business to provide the necessary advice and tools to enable meaningful reconciliation with First Nation communities.
Nicole is a proud advocate for social, inclusive change. A cultural lens can influence sustainable impact, together we can make a difference.
