Discover an approach
that will prepare you to thrive in uncertainty
Hey there! I’m Nicholas Whitaker.
I’m a wellbeing and performance coach for mid-life corporate professionals who are done with feeling stuck, overworked, undermined and under-appreciated in uncertain and volatile times.
Through coaching and mentoring, you’ll discover the confidence that you thought you lost for good and build meaning beyond paycheck and titles.
You’ll find a sense of balance and purpose and a new approach to work, that is sustainable, practical and purpose driven.
I blend trauma-informed coaching developed through years of training and personal experience, with Positive Psychology and research backed frameworks to get you moving forward in the right direction for you
I blend Buddhist principles with Stoic philosophy to offer you calm, clarity and the steadfast courage needed to stay relevant and capable in today’s complex world.
I’ve seen firsthand the harm
that today’s corporate culture can do to people who are unsuspecting.
I was able to recover and pivot quickly because I had already done a lot of the hard work to figure out what was important, and to have a plan for what to do “after.”
After I had lasted as long as I could in high-pressure, stressful, and chaotic workplaces, too far away from any actual impact, trapped in golden handcuffs, feeling less useful every day.
I still gave it all I could in my day job, but I also prepared.
I worked to clarify my vision for the kind of impact I wanted to have in this world, and I built a roadmap to get there.
I will coach you to do the same thing!
Weeks before I got laid off I had just updated my 5 year plan for the millionth time. That’s about how long I figured I could last in that environment.
How much longer can you?
