My work with organizations
For the people part of your business.
When the problem is the whole team, I work through Vero, the leadership diagnostics and advisory firm I co-founded.
Nick Kennedy
About Nick
I’ve been in your shoes.
For a go-getter founder or executive, there’s no worse feeling than stuck. I know, because I’ve been there.
You want more, and you have no earthly idea how to get it.
Now I help founders and executives get unstuck and build a life they’re proud of, at work and at home.
From a coaching relationship
“Working with Nick has been one of the greatest decisions of my entire career. He is tough but fair and wants what is best for me and my life.”

A better definition
Success is about money. But it’s never only about money.
There’s no such thing as “enough.”
If you’re not careful, you’ll be chasing more for the rest of your life. A brutal treadmill, “more” will own you. You will sweat and try like hell, but you’ll never actually get anywhere, except exhausted. And anxious. And maybe divorced.
We need a better definition of success. You can’t buy fulfillment. You might think you can. But I’m telling you: it’s not possible. I tried.
I can’t pretend to know what success means for you, but I suspect it’s less about more than it is about better. Whatever it is, I can help you define it, and live it.
