Naphtali was able to guide me to some distinctions in my approach to work and life that had a profound effect on me [and] translated to more clarity in my decision-making process for work.

Working with Naphtali has been instrumental in my growth as a senior leader within an organization AND as a moonlighting entrepreneur. He has the ability to continually help me step back and gain a wider perspective of any given situation in order to see the humanity in any dynamic. I have become a more empathetic and understanding person/employee/individual contributor/manager since working with Naf and I’m grateful that we found each other!

Naf is one of a kind. His coaching style is to teach someone to fish, not giving them a fish - though sometimes, as he’s a compassionate person, he does that too. When I was out of a job he helped me shift my thinking so I could reduce my stress, hence develop resilience and from that place of reduced desperation, I was able to land a really good, well paying job which I’m enjoying and growing in.
His paradigm shifting approach is ideal for entrepreneurs [and] companies to take their business to the next level. He will show you in a very practical way how and why compassion and “humanness” is good not just for your soul but also for your financial bottom line.

Naf has a deceptively simple approach to coaching. Naf is committed to the essence of human nature. He prescribes no tools or tips or checklists to follow. If you have worked with other coaches or tried self-help books, your first reaction might be somewhat perplexed. What you realize is clear as you work with Naf is that he leads you to achieve clarity of yourself and your situation. We all make assumptions that we believe are obvious and true. But, without realizing it, we can let those assumptions impose false barriers to achieving what we want to achieve. Naf has a deep understanding of business – and the tech industry specifically – which adds to the calm confidence you develop as you work with him. Naf suggests plenty of useful practical specifics that evolve out of your discussions as he guides you to clarity and shedding your blocks.  I have greater perspective and understanding than I’ve ever had and I am very grateful to Naf Visser to helping me achieve that.

What makes coaching with Naphtali unique is that it comes from a place of real experience and a profound understanding of life’s deeper truths. I have always struggled with an existential sense of needing to find purpose and meaning in life where there appears to be none. Through coaching with Naphtali, I began to realize that the answers and truths I’m looking for are not “out there” but are very much “in here” with me. Absolutely no topic is off limits and he is someone you can feel comfortable confiding in and “going there” with. Today, I feel more balanced with better mental clarity about myself and the future with plans to start my entrepreneurial journey.
