Nick's story

On February 19th, 2019, tragedy struck as Nick lost his beloved son, William, in a devastating ski accident during a family vacation in Big Sky, Montana. This heart-wrenching event catapulted Nick into a whirlwind of emotions, leaving him with an overwhelming desire to find purpose in what seemed like an inexplicable and senseless occurrence. Amidst the fog of deep grief, a moment of clarity arose, giving birth to the phrase "My Teacher, My Son," which would become the foundation for his path towards healing and growth.

Nick soon realized that the most profound way to honor William's memory was to embrace this painful experience as an opportunity for personal evolution. Through dedicated hours of meditation and self-reflection, he began to glean valuable lessons from the tragedy. This transformative process led him to confront his own insecurities and break free from the limitations imposed by his own beliefs and narratives.

About Nick's work

As an executive coach, Nick has worked with thousands of leaders across a range of different industries. In his work, Nick aims to help leaders find their own authentic way of leading so that they can create an environment where others can thrive.  Throughout his career as a coach, Nick noticed a striking parallel between his own struggles and those of his clients. Many people he worked with were grappling with their own limiting beliefs and fears, leading to lives lived on autopilot, devoid of true fulfillment.
