With over a decade of experience collaborating with C-suite professionals and four years as Head of International Affairs in Asia and the Americas, I specialize in coaching to enhance your business communication intelligence. This course focuses on refining essential skills such as negotiation, soft skills, and coaching techniques, empowering you to communicate with clarity, empathy, and influence in any professional setting.

By integrating techniques in Tactical Empathy and Business storytelling, I equip professionals to excel not only in high-stakes communication scenarios—such as TEDx events and major company gala speeches, where my clients have achieved outstanding results—but also in managing and inspiring people within their organizations. The developmental coaching techniques I teach are designed to help you foster stronger connections, guide teams effectively, and create a culture of collaboration and growth, making you a more impactful leader both on and off the stage.

Mastering Communication Intelligence for Business Leadership

Con más de una década de experiencia trabajando con altos ejecutivos y cuatro años como Director de Asuntos Internacionales en Asia y América, me especializo en coaching para mejorar tu inteligencia en comunicación empresarial. Este curso se enfoca en perfeccionar habilidades esenciales como la negociación, las habilidades interpersonales y las técnicas de coaching, empoderándote para comunicarte con claridad, empatía e influencia en cualquier entorno profesional.

A través de técnicas de empatía táctica y narrativa empresarial, ayudo a los profesionales a destacar no solo en escenarios de comunicación de alto impacto—como eventos TEDx y discursos en galas corporativas, donde mis clientes han logrado resultados sobresalientes—sino también en la gestión e inspiración de sus equipos dentro de la empresa. Las técnicas de coaching de desarrollo que enseño están diseñadas para ayudarte a crear conexiones más sólidas, guiar a tus equipos de manera efectiva y fomentar una cultura de colaboración y crecimiento, convirtiéndote en un líder más influyente tanto dentro como fuera del escenario.

Learn to draw from scratch (or from whatever level you find yourself at). In addition to having been a professional English and Spanish teacher and coach for more than 15 years, I have also been a professional drawing instructor. I've taught drawing in schools and universities for almost as long as I've taught languages.  You are guaranteed to learn to draw within 5 hours. This course is available in English, Spanish (so you can use this as a way to practice your English or Spanish with a native speaker who is also a professional teacher) in Thai or in German (Nicolas is not a native speaker of these, though he speaks these languages fluently).

NOTE: I am able to teach this course in either English or Spanish.

Observational Drawing as a Mindfulness Practice

At both The American School of Puebla and the Faculty of Art and Architecture at Rajamangala University, I held two distinct positions: professor and Head of International Affairs. In addition to my academic responsibilities, I managed the institutions' international relations and international hiring operations. As Assistant to the Superintendent at the school and to the Dean at the university faculty, I coordinated with foreign dignitaries and handled a range of administrative tasks.

I taught Daily and Business English to a variety of levels of Chinese students using Hujiang's proprietary online platform. This prepared me uniquely to continue to teach online with italki.

I taught all art classes and a several social studies classes. I also ran the theatre department and other after-school clubs, as well as establishing the Model United Nations Program in the school. This taught me to be an flexible teacher, able to cope with many different situations which in turn makes me uniquely adept at teaching all levels of ESL students (as all of our students were second language learners).

Design and teach my own fine arts curriculum for 11-14 year olds at one of the best international schools in Asia.
