Managing Director
Nick founded the business in 1998 to teach “How to Present” to a handful of Clients in the UK investment banking community. It now fields 18 trainers teaching a wide range of interpersonal communications skills to blue-chip companies in all sectors, around the world.
Before establishing Working Voices, Nick sold financial services in the City of London. He sold lots. He topped tables. Others asked him how.
He deconstructed his method and homed-in on i) the foundations of his success – empathy, self-belief, authenticity and preparation – and ii) the things that he’d built on those foundations – the right mindset, the right moves, the right vocal delivery. It was these simple but effective ideas that made the sale and it is these same ideas that he has developed since and preaches today to a growing audience.
From these beginnings Nick has established a reputation as an exciting, charismatic and entertaining speaker, and a premier coach. At the same time he has built his training company, Working Voices, to the business it is today. That original handful of UK investment banking Clients – all of whom are still on the books after twelve years, Nick is proud to boast – has now grown to a Client list of 100 + premier corporate names.
Apart from running and growing the business with his management team, Nick still coaches often in London and New York. He coaches in Presentation Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Personal Brand and Stress Management. Increasingly, though, he concentrates on motivational speaking at large conferences, and one-to-one Executive Coaching for purposes as varied as preparing for presentations to market analysts and shareholders; speaking at international conferences; handling up-coming, difficult board meetings; and making social, after-dinner speeches.
On business or for pleasure, Nick is a frequent traveller. He is also a keen film enthusiast and is currently working on his first film project as Executive Producer.
