When I put together the first edition of Spotlight on Success, I had a feeling it would resonate. But the response genuinely blew me away, and I knew pretty quickly that we were not done yet.
This second edition feels even more special to me because it is bigger, bolder and this time around the book has found its way into even more hands. That felt like a moment worth celebrating properly.
The eighteen of us who have poured our stories into these pages come from all corners of the industry. Different journeys, different pivots, different definitions of success. But the thread running through every single chapter is the same: the creative skills, the resilience, the tenacity we built on stage are not left at the stage door when we walk away. They come with us. They fuel everything that comes next.
I am so proud of this book and the community it has brought together. I hope it gives you exactly what you need, whether that is permission, perspective, a good cry, or a proper nudge in the direction of your next big dream.
Big love, Nicole x

My Journey, Their Spotlight
From my earliest memories, performing has always been the biggest part of my life. I’ve made lifelong friends in theatre, found a safe space to grieve and explored ideas and new projects in front and behind the curtain.
My chapter explores my journey through the industry on land and at sea and all the pivotal moments that bought me to where I am today; a proud mum, a business owner, a powerhouse entrepreneur and a freelance choreographer; and how I feel now watching the next generation get their standing ovation.
