Hello, I'm Alexis Niki
I am an ICF-accredited Whole Person Coach (WPCC, ACC). I work with you to help you define and live your most impactful stories. I hold an empathetic, non-judgmental space as we explore what makes you you.
A New Yorker by birth, I moved overseas for the first time when I was just two years old. In the following decades, I lived in four different countries, learning to navigate and bridge disparate cultures. I turned to writing as a means of making sense of uncertainty and never-ending change.
Story and storytelling became the core of my life. I eventually became a screenwriter and a script consultant, My unique background, with its multiple cultural perspectives, gave me an unusual ability to help people tell their stories from their own vantage point.
Today, I coach individuals and, through my consultancy StoryNova, I provide narrative leadership coaching and story consulting to business leaders and their teams.
I am based in Paris, France, but my clients span the globe.
WHY YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL STORY
We are natural-born storytellers. Story is the way we make sense of the world.
When you're in a period of professional transition or confusion, it's easy to start doubting yourself. You may start telling yourself unhelpful stories.
Stories like, "I'm not good enough," or "What makes me think I can do this?" or even, "I have no idea who I am anymore."
Taking the time to reconnect with yourself and distill your own story gives you a fresh perspective. It's like shining a light in the darkness and discovering that there is a path to follow, and that you've been on it all along. You'll start seeing new possibilities and you'll get a fresh boost of confidence.
Your Story of You will get to the essence of who you are. It will help you feel more coherent, confident, and whole. And it will effortlessly engage others and help you stand out.
WHO IS THE STORY OF YOU FOR?
Job Seekers looking for their next best opportunity. Even in a tough market, you're holding out for a job that aligns with your purpose, where you know you can make a contribution.
Career-Focused Professionals Whether you're launching your career and trying to understand how to take charge of your story, or are further along on the path and looking for more visibility and influence, developing your story can help you.
Entrepreneurs, Freelancers & Creative Professionals You're running your own business and you need a better story to differentiate yourself and attract your ideal clients.
Anyone Undergoing a Professional Transition or Reinvention You're in narrative no man's land : one chapter is ending and the other has yet to begin. I help you see that your story is not as incoherent as you think.
WHO IS THE STORY OF YOU NOT FOR?
People who aren't ready to shift their perspective If the idea of working with your narrative to change how you view yourself as a professional doesn't excite you, this isn't for you right now.
People who don't have the time to do the work Ideally, you're able to devote 2 to 4 hours per week to deep introspection and to crafting a new story. If you can't do that right now, that's OK. Come back later when you can.
People who want me to create their story for them The purpose of this program is to help YOU author your story. That's what creates the shift in perspective that will last you an entire lifetime.
People who need to move faster Sometimes life forces us to create change fast. If taking charge of your career is an urgent, right now matter, you might want to enquire about my Accelerated Story of You Package.

As a therapist transitioning to life coaching, I knew my services had value, but I struggled to attract my ideal clients. I began to flounder, and self-doubt crept in to the point that I almost felt like I’d lost touch with my purpose. Alexis helped me get back on track. She really understood my perspective and helped me frame it in a way that made it clear to others. Fausta - Savannah, Georgia
I am convinced that my work with Alexis was a major factor in my subsequent promotions. Simon - Paris, France
I was lucky enough to meet Alexis Niki at a pivotal moment in my life when I had decided to make a major career change. During our initial interview, she was a thoughtful and careful listener, asking questions about my career path and where I wanted to go next. She then went on to help me to formulate my story, using my own words, but putting them together in a way I never would have imagined. Thanks to her, I was quickly able to articulate a coherent narrative of my career path (which has been quite diverse!) and successfully navigate a major shift in my professional life. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Alyssa - Paris, France
