Results Achieved
Last year Nicholas coached a senior executive in a large multinational insurance company who was in charge of new product development and needed support in getting buy-in from various stakeholders located both here and overseas. Through exploring the client’s beliefs, communication and collaboration style and developing an action plan that the client was willing and able to implement, the project got the support and a green light.
