I have been working with Nikolai Afanasev as a coach for a number of months. He has a rare gift of asking the most insightful questions to encourage you to dig deep to explore personal values to create your own solutions. He quickly helped me realize what I really wanted to achieve both in my business and my personal life and to believe it was possible. He has been an expert at helping me sort through my sometimes "muddled thinking" and to put together action plans to help me achieve my goals. Nikolai is concerned with your whole person - not just goals and action plans. He seeks to ensure you are taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually as you move along your life journey. He has a flexible and objective approach with the right balance of support and challenge to enable you to see a clearer path and achieve personal goals. More...
