I entered into coaching a little over a year ago, uncertain as to whether it would be helpful for me, but willing to try it out. I was at a position in my life where I had learnt a huge amount about myself, but was struggling to put my newfound knowledge into practice, to enable me to make attitudinal changes and start living every moment. It was in this spirit that I decided to give coaching with Nick a go - what an excellent decision! I haven't regretted it for one second and thanks to him, I am much more firmly in the centre of my picture, probably for the first time in my life.

What characterizes Nick above all else is his generosity of spirit and giving nature - but add to that an astonishing clarity and perception, and one can start to appreciate why his coaching is so powerful. It never failed to amaze me how he could focus so intently on what was occurring during each session, whilst at the same time being able to recall exactly what had taken place many sessions earlier. At the same time, the advice that was given and the tools we used were always practically orientated and geared to my lifestyle in a realistic fashion. Nor was there any hidden agenda or evangelisms - all that motivates this man is a genuine desire to help fellow human beings fulfil their true potential and lead the lives they want to. In addition, his humility, willingness to make changes and adjust his ideas along the way mean that one has a true sense of partnership and equality during the coaching. At the same time, this is someone who is not afraid to give tough love and support where it is necessary!

Thanks to Nick, I feel far better equipped to deal with the many day-to-day hurdles life places in my path - which are many! I have learnt that I can handle them without needing to get unduly stressed and overly hard on myself. I knew Nick before I entered into coaching with him, and I will admit to some trepidation about whether the coaching relationship might adversely affect our friendship. On the contrary - it has grown immeasurably, and that is possibly the greatest tribute I can give him as a coach and as one of the most wonderful people I have the fortune to know.

I knew Nick before I knew coaching and I knew I liked Nick very very much. He is a compassionate, deeply loving and very loved man. So it was no surprise to find kind gestures, gentle wisdom, loving feedback and acute observations emanating from Nick during our sessions. However, coaching with Nick is no easy ride! I found it a challenging experience as I struggled with possible alternatives to the seemingly near impossible goals and tasks I had before me. But each battle to look at things another way rapidly enabled me to take huge strides in both practical and emotional issues that had been gnawing at me. I cannot describe the powerful sense of freedom I felt as I ticked off a goal and then another and another. The gift of uncovering my values is precious beyond words and has made sense of so much that before made no sense. I commend to you Nick and the process he takes you through to get on with living your life fully.
