If we haven’t met before, my name is Arik Nahmany and I've been told that I'm an illuminator.

I was born into a loving family, where my parents were busy providing for us, leaving me to spend most of my time by myself. I was an extremely shy child, often fading into the background, and few people noticed my presence. The loneliness and my unnoticed presence stayed with me until I turned 18. At that age, I decided something had to change. I didn’t want to continue feeling invisible, so I turned to various resources in the field of coaching, and began working on myself daily. 

Over the years, I’ve became determined to acquire the skills necessary to truly see others understand them, and make them feel respected, valued, and safe, till it became a way of life.

First

I’ve sought to understand and learn these skills for pragmatic reasons. Making sound major life decisions requires the ability to understand others.

Second

I’ve pursued this skill for inner-fulfilment reasons. Truly seeing someone is a profoundly creative act. People cannot fully appreciate their own beauty and strengths unless these qualities are reflected back to them by someone else. There is something about being seen that fosters growth.

Third

I’ve aimed to learn this skill for fundamental needs. Many of us live in pluralistic societies that need citizens who can look beyond differences and demonstrate the kind of understanding essential for trust, by seeing the world through other people’s eyes.

Thus, I became a successful certified coach dedicated to helping others feel seen and appreciated and handle any challenge they encounter along the way.

That is what I convey to everyone who turns to me for guidance - a sense of visibility, self-confidence, and tools for success in life.
