S1:E37 | From Detective to Mindset Coach: Rebuilding Life After Redundancy with Willie Nicol


Listen Later

Redundancy has a way of stripping everything back,identity, confidence, purpose. In this episode, former detective and corporate security leader Willie Nicol shares how losing his job became the turning point that forced him to change his mindset, rebuild his life, and find real fulfilment.

After 31 years in the police and seven years in corporate security, Willie was made redundant after “working himself out of a job.” Angry, bitter, and burning with resentment, he dismissed coaching as “mumbo jumbo” — until one unexpected three-day course shifted everything.

Now a mindset coach specialising in helping burned-out men rediscover confidence, clarity, and direction, Willie explains how reframing internal dialogue, upgrading your “mindset operating system,” and learning to stop self-sabotage can change the course of your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How redundancy can become a catalyst for real change
  • Why your internal dialogue shapes your outcomes
  • How to shift from fear-driven thinking to empowered action
  • The danger of living on autopilot in work and life
  • Why most people stay stuck, and how to escape it

If you’re trapped in a job that no longer fits, struggling after redundancy, or quietly asking “is this it?”, this conversation will hit home.
