Hey, I'm Nicolai
I create systems to help you live with clarity, energy, and freedom, by mastering yourself and building a life and a business aligned with your values.
I spent a decade at McKinsey developing thousands of leaders and high achievers across the globe.
Today, through Potential Academy and my writing, I share frameworks for a new model of human flourishing.
