From Adversity to Ironman: Triumph and Resilience

Nick Jonsson, a thriving force in the corporate world, is dedicating his life to creating a positive impact on executives and business owners facing their own challenges. As the co-founder and Managing Director of Executives' Global Network (EGN) Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia, one of Asia's premier networking organizations, Nick has masterfully established a confidential peer group network that provides a sanctuary for over 800 senior business professionals. Here, they come together to share challenges, offer support, and learn from each other's experiences.

Nick's fervent advocacy for mental health, physical wellness, and emotional well-being stems from his personal adversities, compounded by a profound loss. The heartbreak of redundancy, personal health decline, and turning to alcohol led to a divorce and separation from his son, marking his lowest point. This period of despair, however, was a turning point for Nick, propelling him towards a transformative journey. The tragic suicide of a close friend, a successful senior executive, was a critical catalyst that spurred Nick into action. Motivated by this loss, he authored his first #1 international bestselling book, "Executive Loneliness: The 5 Pathways to Overcoming Isolation, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in the Modern Business World," published in April 2021, as a tribute to his friend and a guide for others struggling with similar issues. Today, Nick celebrates a life rebuilt, happily remarried, and living beyond his wildest dreams, embodying the resilience and hope he seeks to inspire in others.

But Nick's influence goes far beyond the pages of his book. As a successful executive coach, he offers private coaching to professionals navigating their own difficult journeys, guiding them toward transformation and helping them achieve lives beyond their wildest dreams. His impact extends to the global stage as a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator.

In 2023, Nick was honored as the APSS Conference Kick-Off Speaker at the largest professional speaking event outside the US, hosted at Sofitel Sentosa Singapore. His captivating presence and profound insights have captivated audiences worldwide, inspiring positive change and personal growth.

Nick's professional journey spans across Asia, Australia, and Europe, where he represented major international firms. Beyond the boardroom, he actively engages in charitable and fundraising endeavors, showing his commitment to giving back and supporting his local community. He has dedicated his time and efforts to volunteering and fundraising for the Samaritans (SOS), a suicide prevention hotline in Singapore.

Nick's accolades include winning the Entrepreneurs 100 Award 2021 as Singapore's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year, achieved by growing EGN Singapore's members database by a remarkable 325% during the pandemic. He has also earned the honor of being named one of Asia Pacific's 50 Leading Lights on World Kindness Day 2021.

Nick's impact transcends media boundaries, featuring in over 30 prominent newspapers and magazines, including a compelling 4-page feature in the Business Times and a full-page spread in the Straits Times. His influence extends to television, with appearances on Channel News Asia (CNA). In the realm of podcasts, Nick's voice resonates globally, having been featured in over 80 international podcasts and hosting more than 190 episodes of his own show, "EGN Leadership Conversations – The Untold Secrets of the C-Suite," with distinguished guests like Leo Bottary and Tom Goodwin. His passion for sparking meaningful discussions shines through both traditional and modern media platforms.

In addition to his professional achievements, Nick is a top 1% world age group triathlon athlete by Ironman. This accomplishment has instilled in him the values of resilience and a goal-driven mindset, which he shares as part of his journey towards empowering others to overcome challenges and embrace a brighter future.
