Nick is an ICF Master Certified Coach and Leadership development trainer of 15 years’ experience. In his work he supports leaders, navigate uncertainty and complexity, from a foundation of deep self-acceptance and authorship. Often this work of developing our Leader Within, calls us to embrace parts of our selves which we have marginalised into the shadow, a process Nick skilfully guides with compassion and full permission. As a former journalist and published author, he also adds creative flair and guidance to help leaders to define and give voice to their guiding purpose. He believes that at the intersection of what we want to present to the world and what we wish to hide, lies the power of authenticity and our capacity to both dare to know, and be with the unknown. By inspiring change makers and executives to lead from their most authentic self;Nick helps transform a fear of change into a profound curiosity about what’s possible. Nick holds a BA Hons in Journalism, a MA in Radio and Television Scriptwriting and a Post Grad Diploma in Integrated Movement and Performance Studies from the Thomas Prattki Centre in Berlin. He is also a licensed practitioner of the Leadership Circle Profile. Nick has pursued a meditation practice in the Advaita Vedanta tradition for over 20 years and has worked as a meditation teacher for the last 10 year. He brings this experience of teaching mindfulness and the art of open presence into the heart of his coaching and leadership development, to develop the self and system awareness so critical to creative leadership. Originally from the United Kingdom, he has lived in France since 2005 together with his partner and two adult daughters and many animals, who together help keep his feet on the ground and heart open to possibility.
