Nick Smith
Experiential Leadership Coach and Trainer
 

“Seeing people achieve their full potential, rather than living a life of ‘if-onlys’, whether it is in their work or home life, as an individual or in their team, is what gives me a buzz and is why I do what I do.”

Nick is engaged in coaching, training and facilitation. He has a background in outdoor education and experiential training and has been involved in leadership and team training courses since 1998. Nick has been active in church leadership and youth ministry for almost 20 years. He is an authorised persolog ® (D-I-S-C) trainer (Personality Profiling) and Outdoor NLP Practitioner.
