NIK'S STORY

I've lived a few lives. Leadership insider. Change strategist. Coach. Writer.

I've transitioned in more ways than one. Not just in gender, but in values, work, and how I lead. I know what it's like to question everything while still showing up and holding it together on the outside.

I've navigated burnout and recovery, let go of identities that no longer fit, and rebuilt my life more than once. I spent years searching for answers I eventually had to learn how to listen for.

This experience taught me to live with intention instead of expectation.

It also reshaped how I lead and how I listen.

Goodyear for Change grew out of this lived experience.

My Path

I'm an ICF-certified coach with over twenty years leading organizational change across higher education, finance, and FinTech. I'm trained in Compassionate Inquiry and bring thirty years of lived experience navigating the world as a trans man across gender, class, and systems not built with someone like me in mind.

That experience shapes how I listen, how I lead, and how I work.

My practice is proudly inclusive of trans and queer masculine identities.

If you're standing at your own threshold, I'm here.
