Nicky Pattison hails from Holmfirth in Yorkshire (you'll hear the accent), England.

She's a powerhouse of a woman who has experienced devastating loss and turned it into amazing success.

No words I write on here can express what has happened to her.

As well as being an internationally renowned business speaker, Nicky works with massive retail brands like Tesco, Halfords and Illamasqua as well as law firms, media companies and branding agencies to transform their internal sales cultures.

In Part One of of a Three Part 'Be Someone' we discuss Nicky's upbringing on a farm and how as a 5 year old, she knew even then what she was born to do.

A tumultuous relationship with her parents lead to a tumultuous marriage and Nicky never feeling she was good enough for anything or anyone.

Nicky found her place at a Biscuit Stall, within Huddersfield Market that she and her husband ran, taking it from a turnover of £1,000 per week to nearly £2 million a year within two years.

Things looked rosey from the outside, but devastation was in the post.......

It's a story of utter, utter desolation. I was in tears listening to what Nicky has overcome. This is a raw, unbelievably honest and open conversation.

"I used to put my hands over the gas ring and burn my hands because it wasn't as painful as the bloody pain in my heart...."
