Nikki Taylor is a global citizen, author and coach who has spent 17 years living abroad in Australia, Dubai, and London. Her career has taken her from New Zealand across nearly every continent— apart from Antarctica — and these experiences gave her a unique perspective on people, resilience, and the power of reinvention, which is possible at any stage of life. 

Professionally, Nikki has built a career across HR, leadership, and learning and development, working with start-ups, hyper-growth ventures, family-run businesses, and large corporations. She has also been part of numerous pre-opening teams in hospitality, tourism, retail, and logistics —thriving in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where culture, people, and strategy make all the difference. Her ability to adapt across industries and cultures reflects her versatility and her skill in building high performing teams, shaping workplace culture, and enabling long-term organisational growth. 

After experiencing severe burnout, Nikki used the challenge as a turning point. She founded her own coaching and consulting business - Tailored Collabs, while writing her debut book, Is This It?: Essential lessons for navigating midlife confusion with confidence.

Currently based in her hometown Auckland, with her partner and cat. Nikki draws on her global perspective, HR, and Leadership roles and lived experiences to inspire others to reflect, reset, and pursue what’s next. Her dream is simple yet powerful: that no one feels alone or unheard, and that everyone comes to believe in themselves—because there is nothing we can’t achieve.
