Meet Joel Nicholson

Joel Nicholson is widely recognized as the world's top youth coach and the original pioneer of the youth coach role nearly 15 years ago. He created Youthfully, the leading coaching and development platform for students. Youthfully flips the antiquated, one-size-fits-all educational model on its head by offering powerful one-on-one coaching, usually reserved to top executives and making it accessible to young people through an innovative platform. Youthfully helps students of their own, boasting some of the highest success rates to the world’s top employers and universities, thanks to its unique, holistic approach that crafts the whole student. They also help career centers at universities, admissions consulting firms, and tutoring or counselling organizations optimize and scale their coaching functions using Youthfully's technology and systems. Joel's career began in management consulting, but his path quickly veered towards education and tech with the launch and subsequent sale of his first company, CampusRankings, in 2016. He’s a former college professor, and has led workshops at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the University of Toronto, the African Leadership Academy, and other leading institutions.
