About

Meet Nicole

I’m Nicole Aman, Founder of Lionfern, Certified Executive Coach, and Business Growth Specialist.

For more than 20 years, I’ve held senior leadership roles across Sydney and London — guiding organisations through transformation, shaping strategy, and coaching teams and leaders to navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.

What I’ve learned along the way is this: change happens one conversation at a time.
Whether in a boardroom or across a kitchen table, the right dialogue can shift perspective, unlock courage, and create momentum where there was once doubt.

That belief is why I became a coach. Coaching creates the space for people to pause, see patterns, and discover new ways forward — from surviving to thriving, from tension to alignment, from ideas to impact.

I bring together three lenses:

  • the strategic scope of a Growth leader,

  • the commercial precision of a former Chartered Accountant, and

  • the deep listening of an accredited coach.

This mix allows me to see the customer, commercial, and people implications of every decision — and to help others align purpose, performance, and culture in a way that lasts.

Two lessons guide me:

  • Be brave. Difficult conversations often unlock growth — for you, for others, and for the business.

  • Be kind. Clear is kind. Strategic clarity, honesty, and empathy moves you and teams further than complexity ever will.

At Lionfern, I bring strategy and humanity together — helping people and organisations find their footing, rediscover confidence, and grow with clarity, courage, and purpose.

My Values

Empathy first:
Growth starts by listening, not pushing.

Clarity in complexity:
I find the signal in the noise and make it usable.

Head and heart:
Outcomes matter, but they must be sustainable and human.

Calm in chaos:
I bring steady energy so others can breathe and move forward.

Growth with meaning:
Progress that sticks, not just impresses.
