How do you manage a high profile London career in Management Consulting while also living with chronic illness? Who do you tell what? And when?

In this brand new season of the Pyjama Interviews we are diving deep into Career and Chronic Illness. Our guest Nicola Pye shares her own experience of the rollercoaster of chronic illness throughout her career. Plus the high price of performing wellness and what to do instead and how to disclose in a way that feels safe. This is a real conversation about how chronic illness is a powerful pathway to Authentic Leadership.

Nicola has over 25 years’ experience as a learning and leadership development professional, executive coach, and until recently was Global Talent Director for EY, whom she worked at for 22 years. Having experienced chronic illness as a teenager and on and off throughout her career she refuses to be defined by it but is relentless about ensuring it determines how she shows up as a leader.

Nicola now thrives as The Leadership Coach & People Person, in her mission to help CEOs and Senior Management teams create positive impact by making work better for themselves, their workforce and society.
