Living a Life
of Presence

"Nicholas’s work epitomises the word transformation. He takes leaders and their organisations to a place where they find a deeper level of performance and contribution. Work with him and expect major positive change in your life and organisation.

- Dr. Andrew White
Associate Dean for Executive Education, University of Oxford Said Business School

Presenting my new vision of leadership. This powerful training is designed to give leaders and leadership teams the frameworks and practices that will take your work to new levels of coherence, service and impact. The leadership that is needed now in these ever more turbulent times.

"LEADER AS HEALER - A New Paradigm for 21st Century Leadership"
Leader as Healer
  • A live online training for organisations and leadership teams
  • 6 three-hour modules
  • All modules recorded, audio and video
  • Theoretical frameworks, and the practices to embody them
  • Contact me to discuss the best format for your organisation

This is a book about the highest levels of presence and peak performance leadership, and the cultures that ensue from them, in which well-being, results and contribution to the world are naturally interwoven.

It is above all a call to break from the chronically imbalanced ways of thinking and functioning that have become the norm in so many corporate cultures, where doing eclipses being, and hyper-rational, analytical thinking relegates feeling, sensing, intuiting and the transpersonal to the outer fringes of life.

“Nicholas Janni is quite exceptional as a man leading transformational work at this time in the world.  He can enable shifts in the level of consciousness in an entire room. This is transformational skill at the highest and most sophisticated level.”

Scilla Elworthy Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Author, Societal & Political Change Maker

I’ve asked Nicholas to teach in every major leadership development program I run at the IMD Business School and elsewhere. Why? Because I’ve never seen anyone have a more sustainable, transformational impact on leaders than he does. He’s simply the best.

Michael Watkins Author of The First 90 Days and Professor of Leadership at IMD

“Nicholas Janni is a world-class speaker, coach and workshop conductor with tremendous insight and compassion. He has the unique ability to pinpoint issues or beliefs and take you to the depths of your heart and soul. I give him my highest endorsement.”

Marcia Wieder CEO, Dream University and best selling author

Nicholas’ presence, ability to relate (on many levels) and deeply connect with me and my management staff has profoundly impacted how the team works together and leads.  The teaching he provides is a perfect blend of concepts and embodied activities that has resulted in immediate, transformative change.  I can’t wait to see what we create next…

David Graffy President, ProLift Industrial Equipment

“I run think tanks for CEO’s and business owners in Manhattan who want to develop their leadership. My members are ‘movers and shakers’ who demand value from every meeting. I invited Nicholas to speak at two retreats. They reported ‘”it was our best retreat ever” and many of them are still talking about it…”

Mark Taylor Master Chair, Vistage International
