Hey, I'm Nicolai
I help ambitious high performers develop inner mastery so they can have outer impact in all areas of their lives.
In my 10 years at McKinsey Academy I helped develop thousands of leaders globally. Now I’m bringing those tools to a broader audience through Potential Academy, an online education platform.
I also write a weekly Perspectives blog and newsletter about personal development, lifestyle design, leadership, and the post-digital economy.
If you’re new to my work, I suggest signing up for the newsletter and checking out the existing articles on the website.
