Welcome, I’m Barbara Nixon, and I’m here to help you Smash Your Own Ceiling in your Business (and Life!!)
How would it feel to massively improve your mindset and productivity so you’re no longer holding yourself back or getting in your own way, and instead can stand in your power, unleash your potential and get the results you really want?
This is my super-power!
Are you ready to get started?
Who am I anyway?
In case we’ve not met before, 
I’m a Success Coach and Business Mentor who helps Business Owners and Leaders to Smash their Own Ceiling™️ and grow their business to create a life that they love.
After 20+ years in the People Development Development arena and over 10 years running my own business I’ve worked with thousands of people from CEO’s and Managing Directors to Business Owners who are at the start of their journey to unlock their potential, re-gain their momentum and get the results they really want… and I’d love to help you too.
I do this through my one to one Coaching Programme, my 6 month Business Mastermind (The Smash your own ceiling Academy), and my signature mindset programme (The Smash Your Own Ceiling Bootcamp) and I pride myself on teaching the small tweaks that can make MASSIVE results.
I’m also a speaker, the author of The Boss Hat, The Smash Your Own Ceiling Planner and I’ve been featured in Addicted2Success,Thrive Global and the BBC.
Behind the scenes, I’m married to Dave and between us we’ve got 4 fantastic kids (3 in their 20’s, and 1 teen) and an amazing dog. I’m totally addicted to books and box sets and you’ll never find me that far from a cup of tea!!
