I’m Niky Hamilton, a women’s leadership coach, TEDx speaker and author of SELF-ish Leadership: How to Lead Without Losing Yourself. I was named Leadership Speaker of the Year 2026.
Before coaching, I spent more than 20 years as a physiotherapist and business owner, leading a team of 14 women. I know what it’s like to hold everything together while quietly losing yourself. A season of personal loss taught me there’s a better way to lead.
Today I share that way through my RISE UP framework, MindHearted™ Leadership programs, workshops and retreats. I help capable women reclaim their energy, set boundaries without guilt, and lead themselves and their teams with a clear mind, an open heart and calm confidence.
