Here's What Other
Elite Leaders Are Saying...

Nils has provided me with the critical skills that have enabled me to recruit, lead, and grow world-class leaders as well as drive significant transformational change.

Catherine Blackmore

GVP SaaS Customer Success at Oracle

Nils helped me discover solutions that were perfectly aligned with my strengths. I feel empowered to take on any challenge as a result of the strategies and techniques I learned working with Nils.

Michael Fulvio

Manager, Account Management at Curalate

Recently, I was promoted! The great work I did, thanks to Nils' expert coaching, enabled me to be recognized for excelling in my role above and beyond what was required. I'm thrilled with the end result.

Aurélie Deger

Sr. Customer Success Executive at Zendesk

What sets Nils apart is his ability to help you discover the answers to your most pressing questions through frameworks and expert coaching.

I am a more confident and effective leader in my organization as a result of my experience with Nils' coaching.

Adam Mackie

Director of Account Management at G5

Before I started coaching with Nils, I felt overwhelmed and scattered. There were so many projects and potential things I could do that I didn't know where to focus my time and energy.

A few short months later, I feel organized, refreshed and excited for the future. I can honestly say that I have become a better leader and now have the tools to boost my entire team.

Natalie Onions

Director of Customers at Customer.io

Nils' ability to help me discover the underlying issues and challenges is what sets him apart from other coaches I've engaged in the past. Regardless of the situation, we get to the right answer for me and then Nils holds me accountable.

I feel more confident as a VP as a result of working with Nils.

Jason Lomax

VP Customer Success at Device 42

Nils, I am so incredibly grateful to have encountered you and had the opportunity to join this program. It was so much of what I needed, at the right time, that I didn't know how to ask for.

The guidance and structure of the content and resources, the real-life stories contained, how immediately applicable so much of it is but that it also forms a toolkit I know I'll reference for my career.

How you maintained structure in the delivery but it was so personable and participatory.

How from the very beginning you helped shift my perspective and how I felt by thinking about what positive changes this work would represent for me.

Danielle

Director

This program has enabled me to be a much more intentional leader - intentional with my time, my team, and a better coach and mentor.

It's 100% worth the time and investment - It's easy to put to practice and allows you to implement a little at a time.

Kristy

Vice President

Going into the program, there were aspects of my leadership I felt very good about, things that had maybe come naturally.

The program defined those things and gave me a structure to keep doing them. In that way, it was very validating.

There were also aspects of my leadership I knew I needed help with but didn't know how to tackle.

Again, now I have a structure to build my own plans on. Now I know how to talk about my work in an interview, to a new boss, an existing boss, a board.

I feel more confident as a VP as a result of working with Nils.

Russell

Director

I was able to immediately use the exercises and it has already made a huge impact on my team and reputation at work.

Michael

Director

This program could not have come at a better time. I have been struggling with a number of challenging things at work and I was feeling stuck.

There were so many valuable and simple things that you shared that helped me change my mindset and realize that I could make an impact on myself and my team and ultimately come out of this tough time more resilient and ready to keep going.
