Nicholas Janni's 2024 biography
Nicholas Janni’s Background
Over the last 20 years Nicholas has gained an international reputation for his transformational coaching and leadership development seminars. The clients he has served include FedEx, Rolls Royce, Swiss Re, Centrica, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Amdocs, Intel, Motorola, Microsoft, eBay and Lafarge, as well as the UK Permanent Secretaries and several cabinet ministers. He bridges the worlds of creative, personal, spiritual and professional development in a uniquely powerful, relevant and accessible way.
In his first career Nicholas was a theatre director. He taught acting at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and directed his own theatre company. He has spent 30 years researching the theory and the practice of ‘the zone’ of peak performance, and studying multiple mind/body disciplines. In 1998 he became a Visiting Fellow at the Cranfield School of management, and in 2001 he left the theatre to co-found the arts-based Leadership Development consultancy Olivier Mythodrama. In 2013 he founded his own consultancy, CORE PRESENCE.
He was an Associate Fellow at the University of Oxford Said Business School 2010–15, and currently teaches regularly at the IMD Business School in Lausanne. He has worked extensively in the Middle East, with numerous corporate clients as well as Israeli and Palestinian NGO’s, and at Tel Aviv University Recanati Business School.
His latest book, Leader as Healer is a guide to reaching the highest levels of presence and performance. He argues that modern leaders need to break from the normalised and chronically imbalanced ways of thinking and functioning, in which rational thinking dominates, leaving no room for feeling, sensing and intuiting. ‘Leader As Healer’ (LID Publishing) won the Business Book of the Year for 2023 at the Business Book Awards Ceremony. The book initially won the Leadership Book category and was subsequently awarded the title of overall winner by the Head Judge of the Business Book Awards, Jacq Burns. She described the title as ‘a transformational read that every leader of today needs.’
He has delivered programmes for CEOs across the world. Recent clients include Eugene Woods of Atrium Health and Michelle McMurry-Heath of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization. Previous clients have included Anglo American, Fedex, Microsoft, Rolls Royce, Lafarge, the NHS and UK permanent secretaries.
