BUILDING THE LEADERS OF THE FUTURE
Leadership coach, facilitator and speaker.
Hi, I’m Nick. My mission is to create breakthrough learning moments for people and teams, then translate them into action and impact. I help capable leaders to find their own voice, to grow and meet the challenges of today, be it leading in a virtual world, connecting the dots within organisations, or driving crucial conversations.

Nick did not just focus on the ‘mechanics' of speaking but instead he challenged me to be a more authentic ‘me’. He started from the core, taking the time to really coach and understand me, and identifying what’s important in my case.
His style is really unique in my opinion; gentle but straight at the same time.
He is an amazing coach.

Start-Up Center
We've co-operated with Nick for several years and keep going back for more.
We are lucky to have found a coach who is able to master the versatility of entrepreneur groups and their needs. What entrepreneurs find particularly good in the trainings, is the fact that they are both useful and practice-oriented, exactly what entrepreneurs need. Looking forward to seeing and hearing what new Nick has come up with for the next training!
