Kurt Otto

I have never had an executive coach in my career as I always felt there was no need if you can be introspective by questioning yourself and your ideas. Nico changed that perspective and my time with him let me dive into more detail with his insightful and probing questions that were not possible on my own. Easy to open up to and expose yourself without a hint of judgement.

Glen Brittin (MBA)

I met Nico at the Stellenbosch business school during our MBA studies. Nico was in my study group for the duration of the course and we developed a good friendship. Nico was one of the youngest students but was incredibly driven to learn and apply new theories in his business. Marketing was a particular strength of Nico and he made great contributions to our group performances in assessed work. Nico was not only a good thinker, he had a well developed EQ. This gave Nico a wisdom beyond his years and made him an extremely likeable and kind person. I have only good memories with Nico.

I have worked alongside Nico in the coaching field for a number of years. When in conversation with Nico, even a casual one, you can be sure that he'll ask you a high-quality question that will leave you thinking. He is a loyal friend, an avid learner, a compassionately challenging coach, a source of actionable feedback. I have no hesitation in recommending Nico.

      I started working with Willem in 2008 after I completed my training as an Associated Certified Meta-Coach (ACMC) at the age of 21. We've been working together for the last 15 years on numerous projects as a Father and Son duo in various industries. A key highlight for me has been the opportunity to have Willem as a mentor in facilitating change in people, organizations, and society. His unwavering belief and lifelong commitment in service of Human Potential has had a continuous impact on me. Show less
