Our award-winning business is built on 20+ years Learning and Development leadership and group work, with rich experience and training in a variety of wellness modalities to support burnout recovery or prevention and allow individuals and leaders to become deeply self-aware in order to live their live to the full. To be successful without pushing constantly. To step out of survival mode and be more empowered in work and life.
Nic Wagstaff is a leadership, L&D and wellbeing specialist with two decades in Learning and Development. As Group Head of L&D for a global company, she spearheaded major transformation initiatives - most notably the shift toward a coaching culture.
A CIPD Fellow with a Master’s in Psychology, Nic’s research centred on leadership burnout, an experience she has personally overcome and explored in her TEDx talk, The Power of the Pause. Since founding Inspire - Rewire in 2015, she has delivered 90+ retreats and programmes across the UAE and Europe, supporting leaders at every level to build psychologically safe, high‑performance cultures through self‑leadership and nervous‑system‑aware development.

News and Awards
In both The Guardian and Sunday Times we were in the Top 10 of Wellness Courses 2021. We also won the award for Holistic Specialists of the Year 2022 for Wales Prestige Awards, as well as been in over 20 magazines and articles, many of which can be found in our media tab, including the highlighted one below ‘The Story Exchange’.
Nic has learned the hard way: if we don’t pause, our body will make us. Nic has been sharing this message with large global corporations from conferences, away-days, retreats and facilitating intimate conversations with groups of CEO's. As well as working with new leaders who are part of shaping the culture of a new wave of leadership; building their teams through psychologically safe environments, healthy debate and role modelling boundaries for sustainable futures.
Nic asks a question that often helps when things feel overwhelming - to reset priorities. Next time everything feels urgent, ask:
“Is this actually important — or just loud?”
Burnout often comes from responding to noise, not from leading what truly matters.
She believe you can be, successful, and well - if you rewire how you think, lead and recover.

Behind Inspire Rewire
Inspire - Rewire was built on the owner’s concept that it’s up to us to lead the life we want, that everything is about choice, and that we are all capable of healing through self-care. Through piecing together your own unique jigsaw, you can become your own Guru and master of your life.
Based on her own healing journey with Adrenal Fatigue, burnout and anxiety, Nicola coupled her love, and expertise, in the wellness industry with her corporate background of Learning & Development and Event Management, to share her message about mindfulness and healing on a wider scale.
Nicola still also enjoys running Train the Trainer sessions, public speaking with both general public and corporate, you can book Nic for webinars, or trainings or read more about Nic below.
Our mission
Our slogan is ‘you are what you are looking for’ - which means with self-awareness, explorations, and trial and error, you will find your answers. We aim to draw out your inner Guru who will put those jigsaw pieces together to make up that unique picture of you and bring you more peace and happiness, more often.
What our collaborators have to say:
“Hi, I am Julie Flower of Peaceful Minds and I am absolutely delighted to be working alongside Nicola Wagstaff from Inspire-Rewire in 2020 and contributing to her retreats.
I deeply resonate with the way Nic works as we have similar ethics and values, and we have both had a shared experience of burn out, how it is caused and how to recover and maintain our balance physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is extra special for me as I came along as a guest to one of Nic's first retreats during a particularly difficult time in my life and I left feeling like I had shed a bucket load of stress and anxiety.”
