Navigating whats next

You have worked hard and achieved a lot. But still, somewhere along the way, you started feeling stuck, drained, or uncertain about what comes next. This is where I can help.

I help professionals: product managers, engineers, and founders, navigate these crossroads with steady support and clear direction.

My clients are high achievers: ambitious, skilled, and successful, who often feel exhausted, unmotivated, or uncertain beneath the surface. If you are ready to reconnect with your energy and purpose, you are in the right place.

My passion is to support people while they navigate burnout, major career transitions, or simply want to tackle the restless question of "What's next?"

Coaching for real change

You might have built a successful career and accomplished so much. But if you’re feeling worn out, stuck, or unsure about what’s next, that’s perfectly normal. The question “What now?” can feel heavy. And that’s where I come in.

I’m passionate about guiding you through burnout, major career shifts, or simply the restless question: “What’s next for me?” Together, we’ll find clarity and a path that feels right.

About me

I am Nikolas, and I support professionals, especially those in tech like product managers, engineers, and founders, who feel stuck, drained, or at a crossroads in their careers.

Many of the people I work with are high achievers: smart, ambitious, and successful on paper, yet inside they often feel exhausted, unmotivated, or unsure of what comes next.

My passion is to help people navigate burnout, major transitions, or simply the restless question of “What’s next?”. My coaching is designed to help you find clarity, energy, and direction.

Earlier in my career, I chased the next role, the next title, the next “fix.” Eventually, burnout forced me to pause and redesign my work and life with more intention. That experience shapes the way I coach today.

Who I Work With

I primarily coach mid-to-senior level professionals and founders across the EU, UK, and globally. My clients often:

  • Are high achievers feeling disconnected or overwhelmed

  • Are navigating career pivots or reinvention

  • Are recovering from or aiming to prevent burnout

  • Are searching for deeper meaning and alignment in their work and life

How I Support

My coaching approach combines coaching psychology, life design principles, and human-centered thinking. It’s not therapy, and it’s not advice.

Instead, it’s a structured but safe space to:

  • Reflect deeply on where you are and what’s not working.

  • Experiment and prototype new career directions.

  • Reclaim your energy and motivation.

  • Design a career and life that actually fit you.

If this sounds like what you need, let’s connect and start designing what’s next, together.
