Kind Words from Happy People
Will G. - Senior Customer Success Executive
“My transformation from working with Nick is remarkable. I had become adrift in my career, allowing it to dictate my path rather than intentionally steering it. I overlooked my accomplishments and needed more clarity on my skills and strengths. Nick's guidance has been a game-changer. With his help, I've uncovered my true career aspirations, harnessed my strengths, and realigned my behaviors to align with my goals. In just six months, I've achieved more personal and professional growth than in many years prior. Nick's coaching has catalyzed this positive change in my life.”
Robin M. - Program Management + Operations Leader
“I began working with Nick during my career transition and needed help identifying and conveying my unique strengths and value proposition. Nick led me through exercises to uncover strengths that are core to me (that I had not even realized) and enabled me to first recognize these gifts for myself and then have the confidence and language to convey them to others. Nick brings his depth of business experience, excellent ability to listen and ask questions, and his ability to guide to provide exceptional personal growth. ”
Tony H. - Senior Customer Success Leader
“After our initial intake/discovery appointment, Nick helped me articulate my goals for our coach-coachee relationship. I wanted to develop more confidence at work by enhancing my executive presence, communicate my thoughts and ideas more quickly, lean into making quick decisions and become more comfortable with taking risks.
I loved how Nick was so genuinely curious about understanding the challenges that I was facing. I appreciated how closely he listened to me, and how he masterfully summarized my thoughts back to me, which allowed me to take pause and dive deeper into understanding the challenges. He was such an effective thought partner who helped me embrace the complex thoughts from which I was trying to make connections and create meaning. He helped me clarify WHY I might feel a certain way. He gave me the space to think about my responses without feeling rushed, judged, or criticized. All of our sessions felt like a relaxed but amazing think tank conversation mixed with a little bit of cognitive therapy. I really appreciate Nick’s consistent, warm, and caring presence. While he did great work with me in better understanding my thoughts, he also was action-oriented, and help me be accountable by encouraging me to set specific and actionable goals to benefit me in navigating my career pivot.
Nick helped me to conceptualize and be more conscientious of my leader voice and my saboteur voice. He gave me this really powerful tool to monitor my self-talk and pivot from the saboteur voice’s general pessimism/lack of confidence to my leader voice, which is able to identify opportunities and benefit from taking decisive action. I’m so glad that I chose to be vulnerable and seek coaching support from Nick. ”
Craig B. - Startup Founder / CEO - Homesy.us
“Entrepreneurship isn't for the weak of heart. Gaining perspective and seeing your way to doable solutions is difficult, to say the least. I've lived through that emotional whiplash and can testify that Nick's coaching has made all the difference in navigating to the next right step. Nick can do this because he has lived through startups, corporate takeovers, and executive merry-go-rounds, and sees around corners most of us never even know are there. But what makes Nick a truly great coach is his ability to guide you through these challenges with empathy and delight in your ability to make progress toward your goals. ”
Jon M. - Founder and Product Design Leader
“Nick and I have worked together, as business and thought partners, for almost 20 years. During our partnership, Nick has been able to support me, and our design teams, through countless issues and challenges, always driven by his strong desire to support our people and “do the right thing”. Nick has a keen understanding of leadership principles, but more importantly, he understands how to adapt these to the needs of individuals and situations.
I feel privileged to have been able to learn from Nick as I advanced in my own career from individual contributor to design leader. His mentorship, guidance and advice has been instrumental in my own career development and as a result, those who I have mentored over the years.
I can recommend Nick, without hesitation, to anyone seeking an experienced, empathetic and insightful leadership coach. His ability to inspire, guide, and facilitate growth is sure to have an impact on anyone looking to grow their own leadership skills.
Andrew K. - SVP, Strategic Communications
“I gained so much from Nick’s astute perspectives and insights. His guidance is, at once, profound and practical. When I was going through particularly challenging times at work, he was a rock of stability and a guiding light. Nick is also caring and funny; our time together was always a highlight of my week.”
