About DrNick
Inspiring growth in leaders in allied health who are seeking excellence professionally and personally. We do this by building and nurturing professional careers, trusted leaders, strong teams, and forward progression.
I have owned and run clinics 2013, and I’ve worked in dozens of health settings. Currently, I own Balance Health & Performance in Belrose & Norwest in Sydney.
Here’s some history…
“Since 2013 I’ve opened 13 allied health clinics, allowing me to try and test what works - but more importantly - what doesn’t. In the first 3 years, we grew exponentially, cracked 7 figures of revenue, opened 6 clinics, and built a team of 20 staff. Since then I’ve opened a satellite interstate clinic during the pandemic, taken my team through 2 planned culture renovations, recruited over 100 team members with a variety of experience levels, and had many team members stay onboard for 5+ years and counting.”
My learnings have been a baptism of fire!
Here’s what I’ve learned:
My transformations have happened when all layers of my being were prepared and ready to evolve - especially spiritually.
A metamorphosis if you will - I had to build my self-awareness around the impact of my actions and words - and develop the empathy I needed to be the leader I can be. There have been countless moments where I have had to heal scars of my past, but also the scars that I received from my parents. Healing allows me to remove the obstacles that are on my path. Going around the obstacle is a compensation mechanism - removing it requires facing it, understanding it, and undoing it.
It is now my absolute pleasure to help patients, clinicians and clinic owners do the same. I’ve learnt that the way people GROW is through a combination of developing knowledge of self, based on the past, combined with the inspiration of one’s own dream - a projection of the future.
