Katherine has spent more than 15 years studying why people stay, why they leave and what helps them do their best work. She is an award-winning researcher and best-selling author of five books, including organizational behavior textbooks used at more than 260 universities, with dozens of peer-reviewed publications.

Her research keeps returning to one finding: the strongest drivers of retention, engagement, trust and well-being cost almost nothing to put in place. She co-wrote The Human Margin: Building the Foundations of Trust with Quint Studer and Genfluence: How to Lead a Multigenerational Workforce with Dan Collard. She has spoken for the American Hospital Association, Mayo Clinic, Penn Medicine and the American College of Surgeons, and her talks carry a 9.8 net promoter score.

Nick spent more than two decades founding, building, and selling companies (two led to IPO's) before moving into executive coaching and facilitation. He has more than 10,000 hours of coaching C-level executives, founders, and Hall of Fame athletes, and wrote The Good Entrepreneur. He is an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year and Hall of Fame inductee.

He co-founded the airline RISE and led it as CEO through its acquisition by Surf Air. Along the way he nearly lost what mattered most, and the lessons from that became The Good Entrepreneur. He coaches the way others coached him: honest feedback, a plan to execute, and encouragement when it counts. He is also a Techstars and Capital Factory mentor and an Ironman finisher.
