Introduction

My name is Rexford Nickerson (rex). For over 30 years I have been helping others find the clarity, direction, and results they need to address their most important concerns. I provide confidential coaching, consulting, and training to individuals and teams including mid-career professionals, directors, managers, and supervisors as well as students and recent graduates. I also help other coaches and consultants tighten their approach and increase the efficacy of their direct practice.

I've held executive leadership and consulting positions in healthcare companies, community-based organizations, private schools, and support agencies, among others. I'm a management generalist with broad knowledge and experience leading people and managing projects in prevention, intervention, treatment, and advocacy programs serving children, youth, and families. I have a BS degree in Management of Human Resources along with specific training in Motivational Communication.

​

This is a deep and diverse well that spans interpersonal relationships, functional operations, and business processes that leave me uniquely positioned to contribute to a broad range of issues and subject matter.

​

I'm a native Californian living with my family at our home on the San Francisco Peninsula.

Why do you do Coaching?

After years of experience as an employee, and then as an independent consultant, I've learned that I love working with individuals and small groups. I enjoy helping others succeed professionally, personally, and even spiritually. I've found that I'm at my best helping others achieve theirs.

​

Coaching Process for working with a New Clients?

Often a client may start by talking about their present situation (Current-State) and then describe their wish-list of outcomes and results (Future-State).  I draw from my experience with a variety of methods and tools to clarify needs and goals, and then partner with clients to craft a plan for moving forward. However, everyone is different.

​

Types of Customers

I've worked with students and new leaders, as well as experienced managers, and senior/executive directors across a variety of industries such as healthcare, education, human services, mental health, and support agencies ranging in size from large corporations to small community-based organizations, as well as individuals.
