From programming machines to programming humans
Prior to becoming a life coach, Nick graduated with a first class in Computer Science from the University of Southampton, and later, was educated pro-bono at Cambridge Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge.
His strong background in computer programming means that he is able to find problems in his clients' core beliefs and reprogram them efficiently - like fixing a software bug or a bad line of code.
Entrepreneur turned life coach
Nick founded the giftgaming® advertising platform, which was once valued at £1.7 million and went on to win TechCrunch London Meetup. His company attracted support from the likes of Sir Paul Judge and HRH The Duke of York, and was even invited by the Duke of York to present at St James' Palace.
However, Nick realised what his real passion was: helping others and living well. So, he made a brave decision to shut down the company he had spent four years building and retrained as a life coach and an NLP Master Practitioner.
A Master of Resilience
Nick truly understands human suffering and is compassionate, having personally overcome major trauma, burnout, breakdown, financial crises, addiction, lawsuits and even living on benefits.
Whatever your current situation - you too can turn your life around with Nick's guidance.
