She also had the pleasure of coaching this Creative, charismatic and very very smart individual - and has no doubts how successful all that he does will be in the future as he really puts the work in and cares about his people so much.

    In today’s Episode Nicole speaks to Emily Harris all about her bespoke fashion coaching company ‘Excel in Fashion’ Nicole personally coached Emily during the lockdown, who impressively after many years working in some of the most impressive fashion sectors in the UK and beyond - decided to set up her own business.
