About the Author
Nick Reich is a leadership coach, systems thinker, and storyteller whose work sits at the intersection of purpose, people, and performance. Over the past two decades, he has served as a social worker, basketball coach, nonprofit executive, consultant, and founder, roles that shaped his belief that every individual carries far more potential than any system or title can contain.
Today, Nick is the co-founder of Abundant Empowerment and CoLab AE, where he guides leaders, teams, and organizations in building cultures rooted in trust, clarity, and human-centered systems. His work blends leadership development, change management, systems mapping, and conscious leadership practices, helping leaders navigate complexity while honoring the dignity, agency, and lived experience of the people they serve.
Nick is known for his reflective, connective storytelling and his ability to translate real-world challenges into practical, people-first solutions. His coaching and consulting practice reaches leaders across sectors, and his workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements center on one core conviction: leadership is not about power or performance, it is about responsibility, service, and legacy
For leaders and organizations looking to bring this approach into their work, Nick’s practice extends beyond the book.
