Hello, we're so glad you're here. At KindCo, we believe trust and connection are at the heart of high-performing teams. Through facilitated workshops and training, we help organizations strengthen relationships at work so people feel seen, heard, and supported. When people feel seen and heard, they commit, collaborate, and grow, and so does the company.

Organizations that invest in trust and connection see improvements in employee satisfaction, retention, and collaboration.

At KindCo, we focus on engagement through the lens of emotion. We design facilitated learning experiences that connect with the people who drive your company’s success—from employees who run daily operations to leaders shaping the future of the organization.

I’m the founder of KindCo, a company rooted in the belief that how we connect with one another matters deeply. I come to you as a facilitator, author, and advocate for more intentional, human-centred workplaces.

Let’s make our world kinder, one interaction at a time.

Testimonials

The trust workshop had a great pace and covered a wide range of topics. Nikki is an engaging speaker, and I especially appreciated the marble jar analogy and how it tied into the four distinctions of trust. It gave me a memorable way to bring the concepts into conversations with colleagues.

Daniel Chernov - Galloway Botteselle & Company

Working with Nikki and KindCo. was an absolute dream! The team was professional, creative and were able to fulfill the brief and elevate the experiential elements of our event. Everything was very well organized and planned out. Nikki was able to be very flexible with the everchanging demands we brought up to align with a sustainable/eco friendly event. Highly recommended!

Lindsay Marleau - LUSH

It’s easy to become complacent when you run an event over and over. We brought Nikki and Tanya in to do an event audit on our quarterly corporate event for new hires and their perspectives were insightful. They were so easy to work with and the true differentiator for us was that they quickly understood our brand, our culture, who we are and what we’re looking for. Our values are highly aligned and they used an inclusive, human-centric lens to develop creative and actionable recommendations which we’ve already begun to implement.

Big thanks KindCo team for your responsiveness, expertise and partnership. You’ll be our first call when we’re looking to elevate our next team member experience!
