Nick Kennedy
Audacious coaching for courageous leaders.
Sound familiar?
You’re working harder and enjoying it less.
If you’re not careful, you’ll be chasing more for the rest of your life.
You don’t need another yes-man. You need the truth, a plan you’ll actually execute, and someone in your corner when it gets hard.

Every client comes from a referral, and every client is referenceable.
“Nick has changed my life. I know that sounds crazy, but I think of my life in terms of ‘before Nick and after Nick.’ The clarity, the courage, the accountability, it’s all different now.”
Lauren A. · Founder and CSO
What we work on
Grow as a leader without losing what matters most.
You’ve built something that works. Stuck is still the worst feeling there is: you want more, and you have no earthly idea how to get it. The business takes everything, and home gets what’s left.
We work on both. Your company and your life are the same project.
Your guide
I’ve sat in the chair you’re sitting in.
I co-founded an airline, grew it, and sold it. I’ve raised capital, built leadership teams from scratch, made the hard firing calls, and been through three exits. I didn’t have a mentor for any of it, and I almost lost what mattered most.
You don’t have to trade your family or your health for the win. I help leaders get there with a lot less damage.
More about Nick →“I wondered if the cost was worth it, but I can tell you that the ROI is easily 50:1. I had no idea how many blind spots I had, and Nick was the perfect partner to wake me up.”George H. · Founder and CEO
How it works
A simple plan. With follow-through.
Define the win
A short Discovery Questionnaire, then a first session where we agree on what success looks like for you.
Do the work
We meet regularly. You leave every session with next steps, and my notes hit your inbox so nothing slips.
What’s possible for you
You can’t have it all. But you can have what is important.
You make hard calls with a clear head. You build something you’re proud of, and you still have something left for the people you love.
Most clients see results within a month or two. Plenty feel it in the first session.
For you, one to one
Personal coaching.
Confidential, candid conversations about your company and your life. We deal with what’s in front of you and agree on what you’ll do next.
How we work together →For your team
For the people part of your business.
When the problem is the whole team, I work through Vero, the leadership diagnostics and advisory firm I co-founded.
