Life is full of transitions - big and small. Some we choose, and some choose us. A new job. Moving to a different city or country. Becoming a parent. Ending a relationship. Starting a business. Taking on a leadership role with new pressures. Picking up a hobby that lights you up again. Every transition carries both opportunity and uncertainty - and while it’s easy to see these moments as challenges to "get through", they are actually invitations to grow, to realign, and to step into a new version of ourselves. I know this not just from working in high-pressure environments like consulting, but from navigating my own personal and professional transitions — and seeing how powerful these moments can be when approached with the right mindset. I moved to the U.S. without a job offer, stepping into uncertainty to build a life more aligned with my aspirations. I shifted from focusing solely on business success and advancing my career to becoming a certified coach and meditation teacher-in-training - a path that brought far greater meaning, balance, and purpose into my life, and that now enhances everything I do in business as well. Today, I coach professionals and entrepreneurs to embrace life transitions as opportunities for transformation, not just hurdles to survive. We work together to build clarity, resilience, and self-awareness - turning periods of change into launchpads for a more authentic, fulfilling life. Through a combination of strategic coaching, mindfulness practices, and deep personal inquiry, I help you not only move through transitions, but thrive within them — growing stronger, more intentional, and more connected to who you really are at every step. 🚀 How I Can Help You Through Life Transitions: ✔ Help you navigate major life changes with clarity and confidence – whether it’s a career shift, relocation, leadership transition, new parenthood, or the end of a relationship. ✔ Turn periods of uncertainty into powerful opportunities for personal growth and reinvention. ✔ Reconnect you with your core values, strengths, and vision — so you’re not just reacting to change, but actively shaping what comes next. ✔ Build emotional resilience, mindfulness, and self-awareness — the essential skills for navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs with strength and presence. ✔ Create a balanced approach to ambition and well-being — where success doesn’t come at the cost of your happiness or health. ✔ Offer a grounded, judgment-free space where you can reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with purpose. ✔ Support you in designing a life that feels not just successful from the outside, but deeply fulfilling from within.

About Nick
From a small town with no academic or business background in sight — no family or friends in the corporate world — to top European universities and a fast-track career at Bain & Company, the journey has been anything but conventional. Rising to Manager in under four years was a milestone that many aspire to. But behind the polished resume was a growing realization: success on paper doesn’t always mean fulfillment or "success" in life. While I was checking all the boxes of “success,” something inside me felt "there has to be more out there". I had always been drawn to personal growth, human potential, and supporting others. So I took an unusual step: I took a leave at Bain to join iPEC, a top coaching school, and later became ICF-certified with 100+ coaching hours (75+ paid), rigorous training, and deep practical work. Alongside that, I immersed myself in mindfulness — now training as a meditation teacher — because I believe the inner work is what sustains outer change. Coaching and mindfulness, to me, are two sides of the same coin: both build self-awareness, resilience, and intentional action. Leaving Bain wasn’t easy. It meant walking away from prestige and certainty — and stepping into the unknown. I know what it feels like to be in transition, to doubt your path & yourself, question your choices, experience setbacks and wonder if there is really "more out there". But I also know what it takes to build the confidence and clarity to move forward with purpose — and stay resilient when the doubts creep in and challenges arise. I’m not sharing this to impress you — there are many with similar or higher credentials. I share it because if any part of this resonates with you, if you feel like you’ve followed the success script but something feels off — I’ve been there. And I’d be honored to walk with you as you figure out what’s next.
Why do I coach?
✔️ It Transformed Me Coaching has been the catalyst for my own transformation. Over three years of personal coaching has not only unlocked my potential but also showed me how powerful these tools are in creating lasting change. I know firsthand how coaching can guide someone to shift their mindset, overcome obstacles, and achieve clarity. That’s why I’m so passionate about it — because I’ve lived it. ✔️ It’s My Passion Coaching doesn’t feel like work to me — it’s where my heart and energy flow naturally. Helping others uncover their true potential, navigate life’s transitions, and align with their purpose is what lights me up. It’s not just a career; it’s my calling. Seeing clients achieve breakthroughs and live more intentional lives is what keeps me motivated every day. ✔️ I’ve Been There I understand the struggle because I’ve lived it. I’ve followed the "success path" — excelling in a prestigious career, but still feeling something was missing. I know the self-doubt, fear, and uncertainty that comes with making big decisions or stepping into the unknown. But I also know how to turn those feelings into a powerful catalyst for change. I’ve been where you are and I’ve come through stronger — and I’m here to help you do the same. ✔️ I Believe in Leading the Way Coaching is about more than just moving forward — it’s about becoming the person who leads with confidence and purpose. It’s about stepping into a future where you’re not just surviving transitions, but thriving through them. Coaching helps you embrace change and unlock the potential that’s always been there, waiting to be discovered.
