Welcome to
Kapwa Coaching

You are here because you sense leadership can be different. We do too.

At Kapwa Leadership, we believe leadership isn’t just a role or title, its a capacity we develop within ourselves, in our relationships, and in the larger groups and communities we are a part of.

It’s about discerning how to show up for what matters, with others, in a way that serves people, planet, and future generations.

Our coaching container provides a structured, spacious, and relational space for you to develop your leadership in a way that aligns with your values, context, and the things you’ve been longing to center in your everyday work.

  • We journey together over 15 hours across 6 months (typically 1-2 sessions per month), providing consistent, practical support as you deepen your leadership practice.

    Sessions are held virtually, at a $150–220/hr sliding scale, honoring your resources while making this work accessible.

  • – Currently hold or aspire to a leadership position

    – Open to tailored, adaptive approaches for personal and professional growth

    – Open to feedback and self-assessment tools

Your Doorways into this Work

Build New
Leadership Literacy

Reimagine Work Beyond Hustle,
Grind & Burnout

What Unites
These Paths?

Each pathway leads to the same coaching container, rooted in:
Practice-based learning rather than theory alone.
Reflective space for deep unlearning and experimentation.
Actionable steps to align your leadership with your values.
Connection to collective care, courage, and possibility.

Why This Matters?

The challenges we face—ecological collapse, social fragmentation, disconnection—are too complex for heroic individualism. We need leaders willing to practice new ways of being and organizing.

You do not have to do this alone.

  • While there are frameworks, practices, and mindsets that can radically and immediately change our lived experience, more often than not, the deepest, most meaningful changes take time and careful calibration. Adopting 12 steps, 7 effective habits, and 21-day challenges has skewed what society understands it takes to change. While our partnership will use your time well, slowing down is part of the work.

  • We have watched the way Executive Coaches exert political influence over the most senior ranks of leadership in an organization. There is an inherent power dynamic in the coach-coachee relationship that if not carefully managed can become unhealthy and harmful. We are here to help you access your own inherent wisdom, not to be moving the pieces ‘behind-the-scenes’ on the chess board of your life.

  • Coaching continues to be a major growth industry at $9.3bn worldwide in 2022. The benefits of coaching and consulting services have historically only been accessible to very small segments of society, and those benefits have (in most cases) only served to increase gaps of income and inequality. Choosing to work with Kapwa Leadership means you are committed to ‘paying forward’ the peace, space, perspective, clarity, and increased financial stability you realize going through our coaching process.

“Nick leaves space to allow divergent thoughts to take shape, sometimes these thoughts are distractions and sometimes they are the ones that become a pivotal insight or breakthrough – you will never know without exploring. Nick enables this.”

“There have been moments where Nick’s insights into my state of mind felt indistinguishable from mind-reading. This is where Nick’s magic is: by being truly, deeply present with you, he can point from where you’re standing to a new vantage point.”
