Meet Nis Arend – High-Performance Coach, Mentor, and Speaker

Hello, I’m Nis, a London-based high-performance coach, C-Suite mentor, and speaker, with roots from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa.

My expertise is transformation.

I remind dedicated leaders of their untapped potential and guide them through their unique challenges, helping them rise to their top 1% potential and believe in themselves again. 

My journey into coaching began with a powerful realisation:

High-performing individuals often struggle with ‘self’. 

Despite their exceptional abilities, they lack self-worth, self-belief, self-respect, self-recognition, and fulfilment.

Inspired by this insight, I developed a proven methodology and toolkit, honed over two decades of experience in fast-paced environments in wealth management and professional services.

Growing up in South Africa taught me the critical importance of self – a lesson underscored by a brutal car hijacking. My heightened awareness saved my life, and this experience shaped my coaching philosophy, reinforcing my commitment to providing a safe, judgement-free space for others.

It also reinforced my commitment to providing a safe, judgment-free space for others.

My approach prioritises progress over perfection.

Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, shaping you into the best CEO of your life.

In addition to my coaching practice, for over a decade, I’ve been curating life-changing retreats in breathtaking landscapes, offering transformative experiences in nature. As I continue to invest in my own growth and evolution, I am committed to equipping others to do the same.

Beyond coaching, I cherish moments with my loved ones—both two-legged and four-legged.   I find solace in the outdoors through sailing, skiing, and savouring a braai feast, regardless of the weather.

As you navigate your journey, remember: you are not lazy or demotivated, maybe you need clarity, a meaningful goal or rest.

Set a plan in place, summon your strength, and embrace the understanding that it’s your time now—you are ready for the next step.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the possibility of our paths intertwining.
