FEEDBACK

“Nick is an engaging presenter and facilitated a powerful session with 50 of our hospital leaders. His stories of living and leading from a values-base are both inspiring and challenging. The lessons Nick shared with our team have had an ongoing impact throughout the organisation. Nick communicates with conviction reinforced by research and lived experience. His message cuts through the noise that often fills our minds (and hearts) and rings true as a guide to living authentically and effectively as leaders in work and indeed, all of life.”
Tara Peters | Director of Mission Integration



Nick is an exceptional speaker with the credentials to match. We were lucky enough to have Nick present to 50 business owners and businesspeople who gave rave reviews of his performance. His story gives an insightful view as to how the theory can be applied effectively (and consistently) to deliver results. Nick presents with a style and flair of his own which is engaging and ultimately very direct. His lessons elegantly simplify what it means to be a leader of an organisation, a leader of people and a leader of change.

FEEDBACK


Nick is an exceptional communicator with the ability to keep his audience engaged and inspired. Nick spoke to 40 of our athletes on the importance of character on and off the basketball court. We take the development of the whole person seriously, and Nick was able to speak into this with inspirational stories, proven methods and raw authenticity. His love for people and his desire for them to succeed through hard work, humility, and, an understanding of their self-worth is a message that rarely gets shared today. The lessons shared with our athletes will have a positive impact beyond the 60 minutes he spoke for.
