“The person who came to the process and the one who left is completely different, but the most important result is that the leader who returns to the organization is much more human, empathetic and with more tools to solve any challenge that may arise.“
Paula Takashima, CEO, Grameen de la Frontera
“Nicolas Demeilliers has been my executive leadership coach for the last six months and it has truly been a transformative experience. I have worked with many coaches, mentors, and even therapists over the years and I have been blown away by Nicolas’ commitment, intentionality, care, and insightfulness during our coaching journey together. He has helped me to see my own value and expertise (both in my professional and personal realms of life) and how to better advocate for myself and find harmony in my life. If you are in search of an incredible leadership coach, I couldn’t recommend Nicolas and his methodology more!”
