Sparked by the tragic loss of a friend, Nick wrote the bestselling Executive Loneliness, a bold, honest guide that’s helped thousands of executives face burnout, stress, and isolation.

Now, as a top Ironman triathlete, executive coach, and global keynote speaker, Nick walks his talk on resilience and mental wellness. His insights have reached millions through 80+ podcasts, 30+ media features, and stages across Asia, including the APSS and CIPM HR conferences.

Nick’s story is one of comeback, courage, and compassion. If you think leadership is only about results, think again. Nick is here to show it’s also about humanity.

Listen in—because you’re never too old to grow young.
