First of all - thank you for a very fruitful discussion. Interestingly I found myself feeling drained after our talk, in the same manner that I feel sometimes when my chiropractor releases some blocked chi. I was lucky that my meeting immediately following our call had a tightly scripted agenda that allowed me to get through it with a minimum of energy expenditure. I went for a walk that evening along the river at sunset and let nature have its soothing and rejuvinating effect on me.
It was intriguing to me - I noted in the middle of our conversation – that I don’t even know you and here I was opening up honestly, and forthrightly. I suppose the annonymity of the telphone helped that . But I also think that I was open to what the Universe had provided. A spur of the moment e-mail to Steve had prompted him to connect the two of us. Who am I to allow such an opportunity to pass unheeded?
Being results oriented I can appreciate your style: Define the crux of the matter, state the expectations and define the measure of success. I don’t always execute that as successfully as you did in our conversation. I am committed to my Next Step. And I feel better about allowing whatever will happen next, to happen.
I needed to be reminded to respect the person, even if I don’t respect the skills. That will help be tone down my “directness” with those who are not as open to it.
I appreciate your ability to provide the framework for me to work this out.

When I first met Nick there was an immediate connection. I knew he had something of value that would benefit me. Over the course of a year Nick has taught me how to stretch myself and spend time outside my comfort zone. Doing this has allowed me to accomplish more in my personal life and my business than I ever could have imagined. Perhaps one of the most valuable things Nick has taught me is that I sometimes make up stories in my mind, and that is all that they are is stories. Things don't always happen like we think they are going to when we are caught up in the heat of the moment. Nick had taught me to keep moving forward during the hard times, and I find myself looking back on those times, realizing that it did not turn out like I had thought it was going to. I had simply just made up a story in my mind. This has been powerful to me. It has helped me get through some pretty difficult times. Nick is very genuine. He really cares about helping. He has a deep concern for the individual he is coaching. Nick has trained my sales team on several different occasions. That training was invaluable. Thanks Nick

Today I am sitting on the porch relaxing
after my reduced work schedule ( I accomplish
more in less time) and realized that
that I am a lot happier now, and Nick
has helped me achieve this.
There is a tremendous difference in the
quality of my life since working with Nick.
From our very first coaching session
Nick has set me free from many limitations
and stresses in my projects and life.
I now work less and accomplish much
more. The best part is that I experience
considerably more fun, peace, joy and
balance in my projects and in my life.
I am just happier.

When I started with Nick, I really appreciated the way he jumped off the same platform I was on. I was not in the best position in life, hence why I wanted to work with him, but I felt like he really heard me and understood what I needed. Since then, I've been making great progress with my new business concept and it's all becoming a reality. Because he is so straight forward and understands my needs, I feel I've had many "Ah hah" moments and the path of success is really opening up for me. I would recommend him all day. Thank you Nick!!!

Nick,
Since hiring you as my coach, I have gained some deep insight into the destructive "stories" I've been telling myself. Through our coaching sessions I've been able to rewrite my stories into ones of belief and gratitude and have become a completely new person. As you know, I was struggling greatly when I met with you in the beginning. As my stories in my head have changed so has everything in my life. My marriage has never been better. My relationship with my children has never been better. My career has never been better. I recently taught a sushi class at the Internationally renowned Culinary School at the Art Institute. Shortly after that I was featured on the front page of The Daily Herald news paper. They called me "A Master Sushi Chef" It's magical how when I started telling myself that I was the best Sushi Chef around evidence of it started popping up all around me. Nick, I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for teaching me how to believe in myself.
Sincerely,
"Master Sushi Chef" Jonas Otsuji

"Working with Nick has produced for me a clear idea of what I want out of life and how to live each day in order to produce that life. What he does is not a big secret or complicated; and because of that it is easy to dismiss it without serious consideration. Through thoughtful reflection we can make the little changes that make life and the relationships that make up our lives truly wonderful. Nick has been a gracious and patient guide to me through these moments and helps me observe myself in a way that I can make these changes move from desire to actual changes."

“I had Nick come in and speak to my sales team a few months ago. He spoke on their level and really connected with the group. I have and will continue to recommend Nick to others.”

I’ve known Nick for several years, having had his invaluable assistance in a business deal, and when he graciously offered to demonstrate his performance coaching abilities to me in a recent consultation, of course I agreed. I’m excited to finish his book “Do this, be that” soon and anticipating applying some of what I’ve learned to my own goals. Nick, you rock – you’ve inspired me to take some chances I had put “on the back burner”.
— John Lindquist
I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to experience your coaching. I was amazed at how quickly we were able to get to the bottom line issue, create trust and connection. Your coaching was direct, right on and compassionate.
I walked away with greater insight, clarity and some tools to begin to immediately shift things to create forward growth and turbo charge my life. I would recommend your coaching to anyone ready to take their lives on and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

“Nick is an inspiration to me and my business. Nick is a hotbed of unique and compelling insights and powerful and practical advice.”
— Ron Ristaino, Pain Relief & Wellness Center- Palm Springs
Nick has been blessed with the ability to make people feel comfortable with him, which allowed for honest and deep connections between he and I. I have struggled with how to handle the seasonality of my business. The "down time" it creates and the loss of momentum has always frustrated me. He taught me how to treat this time much like a sports team treats its off season. Prepare, Stragegize, Re-tool and get ready for the next season. This approach has taken the frustration away and has helped me maintain excitement toward doing better when "game time" hits. Thank you for your wisdom and for teaching me how to make the most out of my very fortunate "off season!" Trust me, he can do the same for you!
