About LifeSkillsGO
In 2016 Nikki founded Life Skills Go as a digital solution to significantly expand access to social emotional learning in schools across the world.

Life Skills GO is taking 21st Century Learning to the next level by delivering measurable social, emotional and physical skills through education technology. This platform is the digital evolution of Life Skills Group’s in-school social, emotional and physical learning programs, which has been successfully running in NSW primary schools since 2009.
The platform delivers and measures the mandated skills needed to thrive in the 21st Century as well as reporting on wellbeing in real-time. It is fun and engaging for students in years K-6 and provides hundreds of curriculum-aligned resources for educators to confidently teach the skills of social, emotional and physical learning.
