    Nikki Nigl

    Adjunct Professor, Northeastern Illinois University

    Chicago

    Nikki Nigl (rhymes with eagle) has lived coast to coast, drawing inspiration and following her own simple credo, "to enjoy life to the fullest," and aspires to help others do the same.

    Possessed by her Midwest sensibility, West Coast calm and East Coast edge, Nikki has dedicated her life to motivating the masses with a no-nonsense but understanding approach.

    She’s qualified as a College Professor, Public Speaking Instructor, Accountability Coach, Relationship Guru, Women's EmpowHERment Coach, Life Manager, Weight-loss Coach, and overall cheerleader. Nikki says simply: "I will make your life better and easier." And probably more fun.

    Her list of accomplishments include talking Catwoman down from a ledge, showing Morticia Addams the bright side of things, and fielding calls from June Cleaver — Nikki’s the reason Bridget Jones even has a diary! (Now if she could only get Hello Kitty to smile.)

    Loyal believer, role model, friend, artist, teacher, and always a student, Nikki is also a rarity and a treasure — and wants you to know that you are too.
