About This Moment
My story
My name's Nick Wells. I'm a celebrant for weddings, funerals and naming ceremonies primarily in Wiltshire, Swindon, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bath and Bristol. I also provide coaching for leaders and teams looking to make a positive impact on society or the environment.
Previously, I worked for nearly twenty five years in education, with twelve years in senior leadership and the last five as a headteacher. I loved these roles. In particular, I loved supporting and coaching others - both children and adults - as well as carrying out public speaking through assemblies, awards ceremonies and presentations to parents and the community.
The schools I led were guided by a set of clear values and a strong moral compass. We focused on changing things for the better, providing a brighter future and securing generational change. In doing this work, I was driven and singularly focused on making the schools the best that they could be for the children and their communities.
I was exceptionally lucky to have an incredibly understanding and forgiving wife, as well as two amazing children of my own.
Then, in 2023, I found out I had cancer.
If you have a potentially terminal condition, you can find yourself considering percentage chances, life timelines and relationships in a way that you are unlikely to have done previously. You can come face to face with your own mortality in a way that can completely change your perspective.
Fortunately, my treatment was successful, but my perspective was changed.
In 2024 I made the exciting decision to change careers, set up as a coach and celebrant and build This Moment so that I could work with people like you.
Why This
Moment?
Life is punctuated by moments.
-
Transitions: a change of home, a change of career, a change of relationship, a change of image.
-
Peaks: a promotion, a wedding, an achievement or qualification, an anniversary, a milestone birthday.
-
Troughs: a period of uncertainty, a sense of being stuck, a diagnosis, a bereavement, a redundancy.
We prepare for, experience and react to these moments in different ways. Our current context, the way we plan and prepare, and the sense of balance in our lives impacts how we deal with them.
This Moment provides coaching and celebrancy, planning and preparing for or going through one or more of these pivotal moments.
My mission
At This Moment I provide celebrancy for people at pivotal stages of their lives and support leaders, teams and organisations who are looking to bring about a positive social or environmental change by helping them:
-
Maximise the impact of their work on their communities and the wider world.
-
Find their own work-life balance sweet spot, giving them the equilibrium they need to impact the world.
-
Make moments that matter at transitions and in the peaks and troughs in their lives.
My values
At This Moment I value:
-
Community: belonging and being collectively stronger than the sum of our parts.
-
Integrity - doing the right thing and holding to our moral compass.
-
Responsibility - having a sense of duty and holding ourselves to account.
-
Contribution - playing our part in making a positive change.
-
Learning - wanting to know more, understand more and do better.
-
Environment - leaving our surroundings in a better state than we found them.
