Experienced leadership coach with a decade coaching executives, leaders and entrepreneurs across industries—from small businesses to large corporations. With a global reach spanning six continents, I bring a real-world, results-driven approach to leadership, personal growth and professional development. I help clients gain clarity, develop confidence, and act with courage so they can lead with authenticity, purpose, and impact.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND I have over thirty years experience within  a corporate environment as a senior leader  and as a mentor and coach. I have run sales teams as a sales director within the IT sector as both a direct re-seller and as a VAR. I have led teams and organisations with an emphasis on servant leadership. I have built and sold my own business and have been privileged to have led and grown teams on behalf of other stakeholders.   Since 2010, I have used my vast leadership experience to support organisations, and people within those organisations to aspire to be performing at their optimum. I have supported leaders to become truly fabulous leaders, leaders that are able to thrive in the 21st century where agility, creativity, mindfulness and the ability to serve their teams, their peers and the wider stakeholders is the norm. I coach clients that are: new to management those that are making the journey from first line managers into middle management those who are rising from mid management and into VP roles VP’s who are looking to become senior leaders and finally those that are practicing senior leaders but who aspire to be truly great leaders. Areas I partner my clients with might include: Delegation Strategic planning Communication skills Managing difficult conversations  Creating the environment for effective feedback Transition from individual contributor to team leader. I support mid managers where we often work on transitioning from operational functions and as individual contributors, transforming them into people managers where personal, team and organisational interaction and presence is required. Servant leadership, where a shift from authoritarian styles of direction might be more favourable. Supporting leaders to manage effectively when leading cross functional teams and where the leader is required to lead teams where they have no direct authority. We often work on advanced communication abilities and executive presence when a mid-level manager wishes to break into a VP role, looking at both areas to develop and traits to let go of. And senior leaders who often work on changing old habits and techniques that no longer serve them so well and where they now aspire to become a leader with political, economic, social, technical, and environmental influence. Directing change for longer term success. COACHING PHILOSOPHY My approach to development is simple, I believe everyone has the capability to succeed, however it is sometimes the interference that prohibits our success. Quoting Tim Gallwey, author of the Inner Games series, "Performance = potential - interference". By working together, I can support you to reach your full potential by removing the interference that is stopping you reach your full potential. 

Going Beyond What is Usual and Ordinary. Helping you have the right perspective on how being successful is not about training you with a one size fits all linear process that ensures you will remain a follower or holding you accountable to certain tasks by telling you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Helping you connect the dots to discover the powerful, productive, positive, authentic YOU and create the business and life you really want. Nigel's philosophy is that the most important thing you need to know in order to be successful is YOU! Nigel has been an entrepreneur for over 35 years. He was a C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant) and owned his own accounting firm for over 30 years. Nigel is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and has owned his own Business Coaching and Mentoring company for over 25 years.

Grew up in Boston, was the first in my family to go to college. Had many previous lives - NGO, social work, public policy, advertising. At 35 I got coached for the first time and discovered I was floating through life like a leaf in the wind - okay at everything, great at nothing, nothing to stand on. I broke down crying. I saw how I was blaming everything in my past - where I grew up, my parents, my kindergarten teacher, the universe - for my dissatisfaction. I took a stand, made perhaps my first true choice ever, and from that moment on made a commitment to excellence and living passionately. I dedicated myself fully to my coaching practice and my love of acting. That's that. I'm an experienced coach with 1,750+ coaching hours working with over 550 different people in your same spot. My coaching is transformation and high performance. We will get you unstuck in any area of life by first completing past experiences that constrain you and—in the space that opens up—create a new future that has you actually lit up. Then we make a plan and take consistent action to bring that future into reality. We will turn every challenge into a breakthrough, leaving you excited and looking forward to each day, with greater freedom, power, ease, fulfillment, and self-expression. We will re-write your life’s story. And we’ll have a total blast in the process.

Most CTOs I talk to are capable leaders drowning in the wrong work. They're busy all day doing work their managers should own. I've seen this pattern across every engineering org I've led or advised. The CTO gets stuck in firefighter. Too many escalations, decisions, and "quick questions" land on their desk. The strategic work doesn’t happen because the urgent work never stops. I help CTOs break that pattern by building the leadership layer beneath them that makes it possible. This is for you if: - Escalations land on your desk that shouldn't - Your managers are technically strong but struggle to lead independently - You haven't had a real strategic conversation in weeks - You know more hours isn't the answer

Have you ever felt that the higher you rise, the lonelier and more complex the decisions become? I work with senior leaders navigating complex, matrixed, and cross-cultural environments — helping them strengthen their strategic leadership, executive presence, and stakeholder influence in ways that are both authentic and effective.

I've sat in senior roles at BHP, Roche, and Aviron Investments — so I understand firsthand what it means to lead in environments where the pressure is high, the structure is ambiguous, and the expectations are constant. My approach: You are at the centre. I'll bring questions that open new perspectives, a deep understanding of organisational dynamics, and a high focus on EQ and self-leadership — so you can move from reactive to intentional, and from managing complexity to leading through it with confidence. We might be a good fit if: - You're navigating a new or expanded role in a global organisation - You want to strengthen your influence across functions, regions, or cultures - You're ready to lead with more clarity, confidence, and impact

I came to coaching through twenty years of leading inside organizations — first as a Creative Director and Strategy Director in advertising, where I directed large cross-functional teams and learned, early, that performance problems are rarely skill problems. They are almost always relational, psychological, or systemic. That insight changed how I led. Eventually, it changed everything. Over the past decade I have built a coaching practice grounded in that organizational fluency — and deepened it through rigorous training in integral and somatic methodologies. I work with mid-level through C-suite leaders who are navigating something consequential: a shift in role, in identity, or in what the moment is asking of them. They come to me when understanding what needs to change is no longer enough — when insight has stopped translating into action, and something more fundamental needs to shift. My approach is developmental, somatic, and systemic. I work with the whole person — not only the presenting challenge, but the patterns beneath it: how a leader listens, how they hold pressure, how they show up in the room versus how they intend to. I am interested in the gap between those two things, and in what becomes possible when it closes. I served as faculty at Integral Coaching Canada for four years, mentoring and assessing coaches pursuing the profession's highest credential levels. That work — being inside the formation of other coaches — sharpened my own practice considerably. It also gave me a clear sense of what depth in coaching actually requires, and what it makes possible. In parallel with my private practice, I have held senior internal roles in leadership development — at CBC/Radio-Canada and most recently at Mila, the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, where I designed and led the organization's inaugural leadership development pathway. These embedded experiences gave me something I consider essential: a firsthand understanding of what it means to develop leaders inside the complexity and constraint of real organizational systems, not only in the relative spaciousness of a coaching room. I work bilingually in English and French — not only as a language capacity but as a cultural one. My bilingual practice gives me meaningful reach into Francophone executive communities in Canada and internationally, where senior-level coaching in French remains genuinely scarce. What clients consistently describe is a coaching relationship that is both rigorously honest and deeply relational — one that asks them to look clearly at what is actually happening, and supports them in building the internal resources to respond differently. I am direct, warm, and unhurried. I hold high standards and genuine care in equal measure.

Part sounding board. Part advisory board. Part Oujia board. Ever have a conversation with a friend, family member or co-worker that was completely free from judgment or bias? Me neither. But I have with a coach. Because that’s the job we’re trained for. Coaching has changed my life. I’m here today, doing what I love, because I worked with coaches who gave me the space to figure out what was true for me. I left a perfectly good full-time gig after 26 years in the advertising industry to pursue coaching full time. I get to bring all of that experience and the values those experiences forged with me to every client relationship. Problem solving, relentless curiosity, empathy and optimism. I started a podcast called DesuckifyWork™ that gives me the chance to speak with brilliant people every week who have exponentially broadened what I thought could be possible in the world of work. And I get to wake up each day, feeling grateful that I do all of this on my terms. If you’d like to have the same kind of experience, let’s talk.
