“Nick Cowley is a terrific coach. His approach is informal and refreshing. From the very first session, he was engaged and engaging; his style was exactly right for my needs – he was flexible, forgiving where needed and firm where necessary. His personable approach allows him to push you quite hard without it coming across as threatening. I very much appreciated this balanced approach. I felt he had tailored his approach specifically to me and by the end of our series of sessions it felt like I was speaking to a trustworthy and particularly constructive friend. Importantly, the sessions were also a lot of fun. My time with Nick has had a lasting effect and made me re-evaluate many preconceptions.” Editor-in-Chief
