Known as the Gentle Giant
Nick turned his own fight with anxiety and PTSD into a life's work: helping people rewrite the programming that keeps them small. Author of The Giants and the Smalls, The Tortoise's Hair, and The Art of Accomplishment, and holder of a master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, he built the 12 Journeys to make deep, research-grounded change something anyone can walk.
Nicholas Townsend Smith, known as “the Gentle Giant,” is the guide who goes first. He knows anxiety and trauma from the inside, and he mapped the way out.
He spent twenty-five years in sales and five years building things so nobody would have to see him, then turned his own fight with anxiety and PTSD into the 12 Journeys. He is the co-creator of the 12 Journeys Framework, and he believes God did not create you to play small.
You know what to do. The Tribe of Giants is where you finally do it: one real step a day, proof in your own words, and a tribe that witnesses you.
A 3-day in-person intensive: all 12 Journeys, walked in the room with the people who built them.
Train in the 12 Journeys framework, get certified, and get listed in the certified-coach directory.
Coaching for leaders who outgrew the version that got them here. The 12 Journeys, a certified coach, and goals that move in the real world.
A game of real life: name your reality and your vision, and an AI Pathway Generator deals real-world steps across the gap.
Your people do real things in their real lives. You get a group report on what changed, with nobody's private work in it.
