About Nicolas Rion

Nicolas Rion is a relationship coach who supports individuals to build strong, healthy and sustainable relationships in both their professional and personal lives.

His knowledge of relationships was, in many ways, learnt the hard way. After losing his mother as a teenager and experiencing a challenging start to his professional life in the corporate world, where he often felt like a fish out of water, Nicolas embarked on a journey of self-discovery, which ultimately led him to coaching.

Nicolas started coaching in 2017, and has trained with one of the world’s leading coaching schools,the Co-Active Training Institute, accredited by the International Coaching Foundation (ICF). Nicolas is also trained in Nonviolent Communication, a framework for resolving conflict through empathy, honesty, strength and compassion.

Nicolas helps his clients build relationships based on honesty, self-respect and equality and works with them to improve their communication and self-confidence so they can build strong, healthy relationships which lead to fulfilling personal lives and professional success.

Nicolas grew up in Burgundy, France. He currently lives in East London, but loves to spend his free time travelling or kitesurfing in Sussex, or further afield.

Key Takeaways

• Conflict avoidance and constant fighting can both lead to unhealthy relationships.
• Difficult conversations can be managed calmly and with less stress. Nicolas emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, self-management, and mindset when approaching challenging discussions. Understanding your emotions, needs, and values while maintaining control over emotions is crucial.
• Adopting a mindset of transparency, curiosity, vulnerability, and assertiveness can contribute to more effective communication during difficult conversations.
• Personal growth and improvement in relationships start with individual actions. While you cannot change the other person in a relationship, you can focus on improving yourself. By aligning your behaviors with your values and practicing the habits developed through coaching, you can inspire positive changes in your relationships over time.
