Certified executive coaching

Clarity, Alignment, Results.

I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Nate's offer to connect. Collaborating with Nate has been completely transformative for both AccesSurf as an organization and for me personally and professionally. He has provided invaluable guidance, helping to clarify my role within AccesSurf and positively impacting my life overall. My experience working with Nate has led to significant changes in all areas of my life. The contributions he has made to our organization are truly remarkable. We have been working with him for quite some time and it’s difficult to fully express the depth and value he has brought to our team. A major project that has profoundly influenced our organization and all the work we do now was redefining our mission and vision and establishing our core values. His investment of time and expertise has enriched our entire organization more than I can put into words. I only wish we had the chance to collaborate with Nate years ago! Nate is such a pleasure to work with because of his depth of knowledge and professional expertise but also his personality. He is sincerely genuine and kind and a lot of fun to work with. He has an approach to his work that shows how passionate he is to help people and businesses be successful with the work they do. I hope for all of you that you have a chance to work together.

Our coaching Assessments for leaders
"My experience with Nate as an Executive Coach was profound, professionally and personally. Our sessions helped me explore, articulate and work on facets of my leadership style and overall professional confidence in a safe and compassionate setting. The tools we used in our sessions are instrumental for any executive willing to take an introspective approach to professional development. Nate was an attentive listener and was always unafraid to help me refocus my energy, thinking and time to what I have control over and what I can do. With Nate's coaching, I was able to activate my voice in new ways to new ends, and with fresh confidence and perspective. Working in the gender equality sphere, it was important to work with a coach who’s an attentive listener and a thought-provoking companion as we worked through this chapter in my professional journey. Nate helped me reframe and reset my career runway in a safe and comfortable setting, but most importantly equipped me to tackle change as an opportunity for growth. For me, the true test of our sessions is in the way I return to the tools and techniques from our coaching to challenge myself in my everyday interactions and opportunities for leadership."
Coaching from Nate has been transformational. It has provided me time to pause and reflect with intention on how I carry myself as a colleague, leader, partner, and father. This investment in myself allows me to lead and live a life with integrity, honour, and enjoyment.

"I worked alongside and have been coached by Nate on numerous occasions. His presence as a coach is adaptable, empathetic and sincere. He balances accountability with curiosity and through his open minded approach and the manner in which he showed up to our sessions. I was at ease being both vulnerable and emphatic and everything in between. He held our relationship as peers with respect and emphasized my own capabilities in a way that made me feel empowered."

"Nate’s leadership coaching has been incredibly beneficial on a personal and professional level. During a time of unforeseen events, Nate provided me with meaningful and useful feedback to help navigate through challenging times. He listened intently and had the expertise to help channel my visions. Through this process, I've been able to build on my strengths and address my weaknesses. Thank you, Nate!"
"Nate is so easy to speak with and open up to as a coach. I recall being a bit nervous in my first session as it was a personal issue I was struggling with. Nate made me feel so at ease. His caring nature came through and allowed me to be open and honest, with no hesitation. His questions were so eloquent and allowed me to look within myself for the answers. I always felt such relief after talking with Nate, even though many times I ended up with some tears. I experienced that level of professionalism throughout our eight months of coaching and would not hesitate to reach out to Nate for continued coaching."
