Nicole Klieff

I know it doesn’t really make sense on an About Me page, but it does make one feel like a 2-minute celebrity before being the celebrity if you get what I mean.

So let’s go back in time and share with you things about me…..would you have expected anything else on this page after all?

I was raised by monkeys in the deepest forests of the Amazon after being lost by my family whilst searching for gold.

Now that would have raised a few eyebrows and been a brilliant starting point to my tale, but unfortunately, it’s nowhere near as exciting as that.

Born in the hip ’60s and now at the time of writing this, I'm in my 50’s. Have things changed?

Throughout my life, I always felt different. Not different like, I have something weird going on (although others might disagree with this), but different compared to what others expected me to be like.

Credit is given to my father who always encouraged me in my early years to expand on a professional basis to remain amicable and utilize the many artistic talents I inherited from him. Until now, blindly, I procrastinated to instigate my own uniqueness.

I have never truly felt part of the crowd in any way and often hear the repeated story from my mum that even the teachers didn't know I existed in my classroom.

If everyone wore black, then you would find me in pink! My religious beliefs the same and became agnostic at the early age of 10!

If everyone was listening to a certain music band, I’d be tuned into someone nobody had ever heard off and the volume being turned up extra loud. It was like a part of me was rebelling against conformity from the very early days, without knowing it.

My first memory of feeling aware of this, was when I was about six and a teacher said “What do you want to be when you grow up, Nicole?”
To which I replied, “I want to be a fly on the wall!” followed by echoes of laughter.

The conversation continued with “Do you think you could be a fly then?” I apparently replied “I can be anything I want to be and will be!” and red-faced retreated back into my shell.

This is quite profound, as this still leaves me with a distinct connection to where I am now, in echoing those beliefs in talking and connecting to people on a daily basis who set out on a path to do and be just that “Anything that they want to be.”

There has never been a better time to reap opportunities in whatever niche whether it be in a professional manner or as a hobbyist. So let's have a chat and see what road or turning we should take to conquer all.
