Leadership Coach Nick Jiles on Helping People Perform Better

There comes a time in a person’s life when they must step in to take charge. To become better leaders, individuals need to improve several skills. And while there are people who can learn these skills on their own, it is often better to work with a coach who can help them step into their roles as solid and reliable leaders. This is where a person like Nick Jiles comes in. This certified transformational life coach has over a decade of experience and has helped thousands of people achieve their goals.

Nick Jiles is the founder of 180 Leadership Coaching, which provides coaching for people who want to improve their leadership capabilities, management skills, career or life. With over thirteen years of experience as a facilitator, coach, and speaker, Nick Jiles is an expert at helping people find their strengths and maximizing them.

Before pursuing a career in the coaching space, Nick Jiles served in the Air Force for 21 years. During his time there, he served as a Military Training Instructor.

“I helped over 15,000 military personnel learn leadership skills, effective communication, team dynamics, how to work efficiently even under stress, establish a healthy work-life balance, and how to lead organizations effectively,” Nick recalled. 

Additionally, he also served as an Inspector General Superintendent. Nick said, “In that position, I was tasked with advising top military leaders on organizational impact, positive influence, and leadership development.”

Over the years, Nick Jiles worked to improve performance and operations in the military through assessments, surveys, and organizational restructuring. Even before he was in the coaching space, Nick was slowly accumulating skills that would help him guide people to become better leaders.

After retiring from the Air Force, Nick Jiles set to begin the next phase of his life. But it was not as easy as he hoped. “I applied to a lot of jobs,” he shared, “But I experienced rejection after rejection.” But rejection did not deter Nick from pursuing his next passion. “Closed doors only served to inspire me to keep going. I knew I would find the path meant for me,” he said.

Nick Jiles was indeed successful in his pursuit. Today, he is a successful and highly sought-after leadership coach who helps people overcome barriers to success. The skills and practices Nick learned from his time with the Air Force came in handy for this next endeavor. He proudly shared, “I have 13 years of face-to-face experience. I have trained over 15,000 personnel, worked with hundreds of teams, and advised leaders and managers through complex situations. My considerable experience means that I have trained diverse groups of people from all ages and walks of life.”

At 180 Leadership Coaching, Nick Jiles offers individual and group coaching to enhance a variety of skills. These include managerial skills, effective communication, and team dynamics, among others. Nick can also customize programs to better suit an individual or an organization’s needs. Aside from training, Nick can also administer DISC assessments to help companies, business owners and individuals identify their blind spots, current communication style, and stress response.

“I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to feel as if you can’t find your next step. And I am here to help others succeed when they find themselves between a rock and a hard place,” Nick Jiles said. He spent years of his life in service, and he continues to serve people, albeit in a different way. “Being a good leader takes a lot of dedication and commitment. It’s not as simple as being the head honcho. I can help people learn the skills they need to be the best leaders they can be and take them to the next level.”Nick Jiles is an experienced leadership coach and founder of 180 Leadership Coaching.
