Previously Nick had a very successful corporate career spanning 18 years as well as working as an educator for 12 years.

Based in the UK but widely travelled, he has coached a diverse international client base, ranging from graduates to senior managers and executives in global organisations. He has successfully supported hundreds of clients through difficult life transitions and challenges in order to achieve the outcomes and fulfilment that they really want.

Nick aims to make the coaching process enjoyable and fun to help his clients realise their potential and maximise their performance.

As one of his client's commented recently: "You've helped me to crystallise the light at the end of the tunnel, through helping me to clarify the things that motivate and energise me, and identify my skills and values. I came away feeling very motivated and upbeat."

Nick is married with three grown up children, and lives in a cottage near the Suffolk coast which connects him with his love of the countryside and passion for the sea. Nick is an experienced yachtsman and navigator, as much at home in a sea kayak as on an ocean going yacht. Nick also loves skiing which gives him endless opportunities to be challenged, learn and continuously improve.
