Meet your Coach

Hi, I’m Lachlan Nicolson

I started Leader Guide because I believe running a business should be simple and enjoyable. You don't have to give up your freedom, family or risk burnout to grow a small business.

With the right tools, frameworks and support from a Coach — your business can run well and be a vehicle for greater freedom and flexibility.

Let’s connect.
