“I’ve been working with Nick for the last few months and I’ve found it transformative. I couldn’t recommend it enough, I think he’s brilliant.”

Seth Sentry
Platinum-selling Hip Hop Artist

"I’ve been working with Nick for the last few months and I’ve found it transformative.

He’s really helped me with a lot of work stuff I was going through. I found his approach to be kind and gentle, but with a big emphasis on accountability.

I kinda felt like the frog in the pot where the heat is just being incrementally turned up until we’re absolutely cooking.

I couldn’t recommend it enough, I think he’s brilliant. So get into it."

“Nick’s empathy and ability to keep you accountable, without ever being judgmental, creates a supportive environment where you can truly thrive.”

Aditi Narayanan
Global Marketing Manager
Education Horizons

"Working with Nick through 1-to-1 coaching sessions has been a truly positive and cathartic experience. His super positive and enthusiastic approach made each session/interaction something to look forward to.

Nick’s empathy and ability to keep you accountable, without ever being judgmental, creates a supportive environment where you can truly thrive.

The balance between self-coaching with group videos and on-demand coaching with Nick was spot on, especially for a busy working mum like me. It allowed for the flexibility to work at my own pace while knowing that Nick was there to guide and support me whenever needed. This combination was key in helping me stay on track. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone looking to achieve their goals. Nick provides a systematic way to put the right systems in place, helping you to not just set goals but actually achieve them.

Having Nick on your side makes all the difference."

“Nick has helped me examine my leadership style, given me confidence I'm on the right track, and offered me clarity about what I should focus on and keep building.”

Jess Rath
A/Director, Communications
Department of Education

"As an early-stage director in a busy government department, I sought out Nick and Uncut Coaching to help me define and unpack my leadership style, and use his coaching skills to provide me with long-term tools to help me become an authentic leader.

Over six sessions, Nick has helped me examine my leadership style, given me confidence I'm on the right track, and offered me clarity about what I should focus on and keep building.

Nick's energy is infectious and his passion to see his clients grow and realise their leadership potential is genuine, and considered. He genuinely cares about his clients and seeing them succeed, in whatever way is meaningful for them."

“It’s been life changing for me. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. In fact, I recommend it to most people I see now.”

Jeremy Koren
Founder and Creative Director
Ghostie Studios
ARIA award-winner & Creative Director

"I’ve been doing coaching with Nick for a year now. It’s been life changing for me.

As a creative I tend to speak poorly to myself, and I’m hard on myself. Nick’s really helped me to change my mindset, work to the positive, really be proud, work my confidence and skills, set goals, and have intention in the work I do.

It’s been incredible. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. In fact, I recommend it to most people I see now."

“Nick genuinely cares and delivers results. If that’s what you’re chasing, then he's the coach for you.”

Christian Stott
Co-Founder & Director
Comune Gallery

"I actually can’t recommend Nick at Uncut enough.

As a director of a physical and online business on the rise, there’s always a massive list of things to be done. It can be overwhelming, and as a result I’ve struggled with time management.

With Nick in my corner I’ve not only improved my time management skills, but also addressed a bunch of other challenges holding me back. Add to that, Nick overdelivers on responsiveness - he’s always available, and gets back to me within hours no matter what’s happening.

I can say from experience that Nick genuinely cares and delivers results. If that’s what you’re chasing, then he’s the coach for you."

“After a few sessions with Nick, I flipped the narrative in my head. I reconnected with my assets, strengths and abilities as a leader.”

Carly Kling
Director
Victorian Government

"Returning from parental leave to my executive position was hard. I struggled with a sense of imposter syndrome, and not being able to ‘keep up’ as an executive member and leader. I was worried that I had lost my edge, and with it a lot of confidence.

After a few sessions with Nick, I flipped the narrative in my head. I reconnected with my assets, strengths and abilities as a leader and helped to reframe my role in the executive team.

Since commencing our sessions I’ve felt my confidence return. I've regained that edge and have used our sessions to gain further clarity on my leadership style and ambitions.  I am leading high-scale reforms with confidence and clarity and have worked through some leadership challenges with a renewed energy.

Nick has a gift of reframing things to make you look at yourself from a different perspective, is incredibly perceptive and helps you to articulate your thoughts in a way that is almost impossible to do yourself. He has a way of making you feel at ease so you can surface vulnerability, but then shows you a way through it.

I would recommend Nick to any leader seeking some renewed confidence or clarity in their leadership style or career ambitions."

“Nick helped me structure my business around specific goals, allowing me to approach tasks without fear of failure while viscerally enjoying my work.”

Jack May
Architect & Founder
OCTA

"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Uncut Coaching!

Nick helped me structure my business around specific goals, allowing me to approach tasks without fear of failure while viscerally enjoying my work.

I really valued our one-on-one sessions, and also I found that brief check-ins very beneficial for my ongoing progress.

It’s his ability to clearly identify challenges I was facing, and help me develop strategies to overcome them, that made Nick’s approach to coaching so life changing for me and my business."

“Nick helped me shift my anxiety and 'imposter syndrome' into excitement and deep belief in my skills.”

Ptiika Owen-Shaw
Philanthropy Manager
Australian Dance Theatre

"I sought out support from Nick at a time in my career where I wanted to step up into a greater leadership role. I was struggling with self doubt and questioning my ability to deliver on large financial targets.

Nick gave me great tools to navigate working closely with Board members, and I now feel confident and worthy to be in that space. Nick helped me shift my anxiety and 'imposter syndrome' into excitement and deep belief in my skills, which has resulted in me achieving my targets!

Nick is an incredible listener and gently shifts any negative language you might use into positive or constructive language which I found extremely helpful. He gave me tools that I now use daily to shift my perspective and re-wire my brain!!

I no longer feel “stuck” and I’ve had many career  “wins” since working with Nick. I highly recommend Nick to anyone working in the fundraising sector, which is where he’s helped me enormously."

“I engaged with Nick at a career transition point – his guidance and advice helped steer me through this period, and ultimately land an ideal job.”

Glenn Jessop
Manager
Department of Jobs, Skills, Industries and Regions

"I engaged with Nick at a career transition point – his guidance and advice helped steer me through this period, and ultimately land an ideal job.

Nick has a very effective approach to listening, asking the right questions at the right times, and offering reflections that unearth/unlock deeper meanings.

Each session strikes a neat balance and rhythm of exploration, facilitating curiosity, identifying underlying motivations/aspirations, and landing concrete actions that are practical and can be put into place straight away.

Nick’s style is a powerful mix of empowering, curious, generous, pragmatic and inspiring.

I highly recommend Nick as someone who can help elevate your game to the next level!"

“Since connecting with Nick, I have found a new confidence in my authentic self.”

Morgan Goss
Pursuits & Bid Manager
Arup

"As a neurodiverse woman in the infrastructure advisory and consultancy sector, I have experienced both challenges and opportunities operating in corporate environments designed for the neurotypical. While I have always been a high performer and valued for many of the abilities that stem from my neurodiversity, role expectations shift as you move into leadership. As a neurodiverse leader, though, advice is hard to come by. Adding the complexities of being a working parent, knew I needed some support to find the right path forward and a new toolset unique to my goals and brain.

Since connecting with Nick, I have found a new confidence in my authentic self. Nick’s systematic approach, and knowledge of ADHD, created a framework for defining my objectives, identifying enablers and blockers, and developing metrics to measure progress. Nick's coaching has helped me find my path forward, relieving stressors associated with living with ADHD and helped me understand my brand and worth.

From our first session, Nick created an environment which allowed me to speak candidly about my ambition and what I saw as major road blocks to me achieving my goals. His knowledge of the dynamics of corporate leadership teams and the complexities of organisations in similar sectors helped me move past surface level obstacles to identify the larger challenges. Nick's gentle but unwavering commitment to the goals we set helps me stay on track, and his ability to hold space for deeper thought makes for impactful sessions.

I would highly recommend working with Nick to anyone wanting to clarify their approach to their career or personal ambitions."

“Nick is able to highlight strengths stuck in my blind spots and reframe challenges into opportunities. We covered everything from smashing through imposter syndrome and backing myself, to leading a dynamic team to success.”

Brendan Ritchie
Manager
SHARC

"As a developing leader within my organisation and specific workforce, I sought out performance coaching, recognising the need for continuous professional development to assist in finding my own leadership style, identifying strengths and areas of growth.

Nick’s coaching style and energy was exactly what I needed. He understands the community services sector so well and brings a down-to-earth, practical and relatable approach to his coaching. His ability to connect and build the relationship has been invaluable!

Nick is able to highlight strengths that are stuck in my blind spots, and helps me reframe challenges into opportunities. We have covered everything from smashing through imposter syndrome and backing myself, to innovative and critical thinking, ways of leading a dynamic team to success and bringing out the absolute best in me.

I have already raved about my sessions with colleagues, encouraged others to engage with Nick and would highly recommend Uncut Coaching to anyone seeking to improve their professional performance."

“Nick is very attentive, a great listener and is awesome at organising and clarifying thoughts in a cohesive manner.”

David Chea
Co-Owner
Team Yas
Action Designer and Stunt Performer from such films as The Fall Guy, Mad Max: Furiosa and Mortal Kombat

"I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I started the sessions with Nick. I’ve always had goals and things I wanted to get done. Nick has helped me focus and gather what’s floating in my head and put it into actionable steps.

We discussed things that were very personal and I felt very awkward and vulnerable at times but it was met with warmth and understanding. Nick is very attentive, a great listener and is awesome at organising and clarifying thoughts in a cohesive manner.

I think the biggest change or improvements I've noticed over the last 3 months is a shift in self talk and mindset, and this new approach to completing tasks and learning new skills has lead to being more productive and consistent.

The Focus Deck is extremely helpful to me as it gives me a bird’s eye view of me. You don’t see what other people see about you, having Nick there break down and unpack strengths and weaknesses in your game is awesome.

I highly highly recommend Nick as a coach, he can really help unpack a lot of stuff in your head. His care and attentiveness to detail is awesome."

“I can honestly say I’m the clearest, most motivated and passionate version of myself I’ve been in a long time. I feel directional, and I’ve got my spark again.”

Alice Mahar
CEO and Founder
Corner Store Network
Obama Foundation Leader

"Roughly 18 months ago I was at the lowest point I’ve been, both in my professional and personal life. I’d hit rock bottom, was struggling to move my organisation forward, and I’d lost my passion and spark.

I began coaching with Nick, and I can honestly say I’m the clearest, most motivated and passionate version of myself I’ve been in a long time. I feel directional, and I’ve got my spark again.

Nick holds space for honest and open conversations in a way that is supportive and non-judgemental. It feels like you’re talking to a friend to unpack these difficult and confronting things.

Nick helped me reframe my thinking that there’s a ‘professional me’ and a ‘personal me’ - all the versions and colours of me need to be firing on all cylinders for me to be thriving. He reminded me that I need to care for myself to be the best leader for my organisation, and show up as my best self for my family and friends.

Nick embodies empathy and kindness and heart. I highly recommend anyone thinking of doing coaching to jump in - it will be transformative for you as it has been for me."

“Nick was incredibly adept at reframing issues with great compassion and nous—I can’t overemphasise the value of this, and how special and unique it is.”

Sam Quinlan
Manager
Department of Jobs, Skills, Industries and Regions

"I was drawn to coaching after realising the importance of understanding embedded relational and emotional issues, especially the ability to foster calmness under pressure.

I’d been dealing with high staff turnover, difficulty recruiting, and feeling I wasn’t adequately supporting my team. I was doubting myself after burnout and organisational change.

I’d worked with other coaches and wellbeing practitioners, but instantly found strong rapport with Nick. His coaching style perfectly complemented my own preferences.

He was incredibly adept at reframing issues with great compassion and nous—I can’t overemphasise the value of this, and how special and unique it is.

My favourite part has been the recurring sense that every problem I raised was reframed in terms of core values, strengths, and positive intentions. Since working with him, I’ve consistently acknowledged my leadership strengths and feel grateful and proud of myself.

I’ve felt incredibly well supported in a truly holistic manner, increased my confidence and self-awareness, and would highly recommend Uncut Coaching to anyone struggling with, or seeking to better understand, the pressures of leadership."

“I’ve managed to change long-help habits in a short space of time.”

Marlene Cirillo
Fundraising Specialist
Balanced Effect

"I was looking for a coach to help me transition into a new role within my industry and gain confidence wearing my new 'hat'.

Nick was the perfect choice for me. Nick made me feel immediately comfortable in sharing my vulnerabilities, and skilfully directed our sessions to land at bite-sized actions designed to reach broader goals.

This approach has already reaped benefits and I’ve managed to change long-held habits in a short space of time.  

Nick's sessions feel like pleasant and useful conversations, and he makes himself available between sessions for informal feedback and support.

I have experienced a few different coaching and development styles over the years, and Nick's approach has been by far the most effective, and fun! I would recommend Nick to anyone looking fora fresh approach to coaching."

“The impact has been really significant. It’s changed the way I work, and changed the way I think.”

Marnie Marin
Director
Recovery Outcomes, Emergency Recovery Victoria

"I’ve done coaching in the past, and to be honest it was a little bit flat.

Nick’s really different - I’m doing great work with him. He’s very relatable, and he’s got a great energy. He helps me find my ideas and promotes my enjoyment and passion in what I do.

The impact has been really significant. It’s changed the way that I work, and changed the way I think.

If you’re thinking that you’re stuck, or you want to do things differently, or you want to flourish in your career - I would recommend you speak to him."

“The steadfast positivity and honesty that Nick brings to each coaching session is powerful. He strikes at critical questions like a laser, listens intently, then elevates your ideas into real action.”

Adam Cooper
Manager
Headstart

"I was introduced to Nick via my manager, whilst transitioning from the schools to corporate sector of the Department of Education. She’d identified a need to support me in maintaining my strengths in understanding schools’ end user needs whilst navigating the machinery of government policy and process.

I felt an instant rapport with Nick, as he described experiencing a similar trajectory, and the challenge of maintaining authenticity in the face of corporate expectation.

The steadfast positivity and honesty that Nick brings to each coaching session is powerful. It looks, sounds, and feels real.

While working with Nick over the last 5 months, his insights and suggestions have helped shape reflections not only on myself, but also the strategic direction and output of my team.

Nick strikes at critical questions like a laser, listens intently, then elevates your ideas into real action.

I would highly recommend Nick’s coaching to anyone striving to know, harness and project their personal truths to affect positive change."

“Nick helped me stay engaged with my passion, overcome my haunted thoughts, and clear my professional goals and plans.”

Mustafa Najib
Senior Policy Officer
Department of Education

"Nick provided me with authentic and generous mentorship during a period of professional fatigue and uncertainty.

He helped me stay engaged with my passion, overcome my haunted thoughts, and clear my professional goals and plans.

Nick did this in the best human, sensitive and honest way."

"Nick is a badass f**king legend. That's all you need to know.”

Charlie Buchner
Founder
Cones Studio

"Nick is a badass f**king legend. That's all you need to know.

Before starting to chat with Nick, I was stressed with the challenges of a growing business and unclear in the direction I was trying to take it. In seven sessions, Nick has helped me work on my organisation, time management, leadership and delegation skills, weaknesses that I believe have been affecting how I relate to myself and my business, whilst helping me realise my own power and resolve.

Always there for an impromptu meeting or at the end of the line to celebrate your achievements, Nick is your biggest cheerleader and an open-minded, never-doubts-you kind of guy. Nick has helped me rediscover my motivation to get into this ridiculous yet rewarding business ownership life and I am truly grateful."

“Going through the experience with Nick has been transformational!”

Salim Mohamed
Team Leader
Transitions, Parkville College

"Going through the Uncut Coaching experience with Nick has been transformational!

It has given me an opportunity to slow down, dissect and reflect on my leadership style, aspirations and set tangible goals.

Nick is amazing at active listening, picking up key points of reflection and meaningfully unpacking them. I have truly grown from this experience!

I would recommend Nick and Uncut Coaching for anyone at any point of their leadership journey as he has adaptive and responsive to the needs of his client. Each session built upon the previous session in a seamless manner."

“This isn’t surface level coaching. Nick helps you dig deep, take real ownership and find your voice as a leader.”

Georgie Junghenn
Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader
Belgrave South Primary School

"Working with Nick has been life changing for my teaching and leadership career.

When my principal organised regular mentoring sessions with him, I didn’t realise how deeply it would shift my mindset, confidence and clarity.

Nick has a powerful way of helping you cut through the noise and see what’s really going on beneath the surface. He challenged me to face the patterns holding me back and supported me to move forward with purpose and belief in my abilities.

This isn’t surface level coaching. Nick helps you dig deep, take real ownership and find your voice as a leader.

I walk away from each session more grounded, more motivated and more connected to the educator and leader I truly want to be.

Thank you Nick!"

“I’ve never had more mental clarity in both my work and personal life.”

Caspar Tremlett
Co-Founder
mertramertra
Founder, Caspar Tremlett Consulting

"I’ve seen Nick for 3 - 4 months now, and honestly I’ve never had more mental clarity in both my work and personal life.

I’ve had many different coaches, many different professionals, and the way he’s able to connect thoughts I have in a way that just makes so much sense - I honestly couldn’t recommend him more to anyone, whether specifically for work or you’re just finding things in life too complicated.

I’m so excited to continue to learn more off him and just grow so much more as a person."

“I almost can't believe how much I have achieved in the last month. I feel reinvigorated with my work, have built in good habits to reach my goals and am excited about the things I’ll achieve over the next year.”

Steph Ritchie
Senior Policy Advisor
Department of Health

"I almost can't believe how much I have achieved in the last month with Nick's support and the Uncut 'On Demand' Coaching program.

The 1-1 coaching and self-coaching videos reminded me why I do what I do and gave me such a boost of motivation, confidence and self-assurance and my focus deck serves as a great visual north star.

Having access to on demand coaching with Nick and being able to chat through things that came up as they were front of mind was fantastic.

I feel reinvigorated with my work, have built in good habits to reach my goals and am excited about the things I know I will achieve over the next year with ongoing coaching with Nick."

“Nick brings warmth, empathy and a strengths-based perspective.”

Mathew Lundgren
Executive Director, Early Learning Operations and Monitoring

As a coach and facilitator Nick brings warmth, empathy and a strengths-based perspective that enables people to feel safe to open up and challenge themselves. We’ll continue to use him to build our capabilities, confidence and culture.

“Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and provided strategic options to carry our work forward.”

Annabel Reid
CEO
Carers Australia

The Carers Australia team loved working with Nick. His coaching and ideas helped to leverage the strengths within our team, but also evolve by working outside our comfort zones.

Nick’s work is well researched and nuanced, and he was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and provided strategic options to carry our work forward.

“Nick exceeded expectations in all areas of the work.”

Bryn Williams

Alex Findlay

"The result has been a noticeable cultural shift."

Megan McAlpine
Deputy CEO

We brought Nick in to coach and support our team through a challenging period of change, where we needed to build consistent, high quality practice. We chose him based on a compelling proposal built around codesign coupled with deep team engagement.

Nick’s facilitation style struck the right balance of encouragement and clarity, helping the team feel safe and accountable, while his structured approach ensured each session built momentum. The result has been a noticeable cultural shift. Team members are embedding the new practice model with genuine ownership.

I’d absolutely work with Nick again, he brought skill, empathy, and strategic alignment to a complex piece of work.
