Client Testimonials and Recommendations
"Nicholas tackled the discovery session professionally and with some well targeted preparation tasks that allowed to set a baseline. What really stuck out was Nicholas' amalgamation of his marketing/branding experience and the application of Design Thinking to career choices. Even though we only had a 30-minutes call, the value he delivered extended much beyond that through his presentation of alternative views and specific pointers. Can highly recommend!" - Dominik Schweizer, Digital Transformation Manager
"Nicholas is excellent advisor who taps on his years of experience across various fields and draws from personal lessons. In the first ten minutes of speaking to him, I loudly exclaimed (in one of my many AHA moments) “You’re a pattern-spotter!” And that is what makes Nic a fantastic communicator, consultant and coach. He cuts through the mess and points out what needs to be done. Spend enough time with Nic, and you will find that you’ll be rich from the coins he will need to put in the swear jar. Jokes aside, he is honest with his no BS yet empathetic point-of-view. I look forward to his insights and future collaborations with him." - Lydia Shah, Award-Nominated Television Director, Writer & Producer
"One hour spent with Nicholas on career design coaching flew by very quickly and it was fun! I was amazed by Nicholas' ability to provide accurate insights for my existing career path and suggest actionable next steps for me to get me closer to my desired direction. He took his time to analyse my experiences, skills, strengths and gaps, highlighting what to work on, using various complementary tools, which I haven't seen before, producing an interesting profile for different relevant career options for me to consider. I really enjoyed his energy and encouragement throughout and hope we get to stay connected in the coaching world." - Adriana Ka, Social Impact Leader, International Development Practitioner
