I’ve been working with Nick the last several months getting my business started and it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve learned so much in each session and will continue to learn and apply all the knowledge I’ve gained into running a successful business. If you’re looking for a great coach/mentor to learn from and grow both personally and professionally, look no further. Nick is your guy! More...

Working with CoreTactic was a complete game changer for my career transition. Nick built a plan for me that helped me stand out when applying for new positions – I had 3 interviews after just 2 weeks working with Nick. He also helped me build on my strengths and improve some of my weaknesses so I'm more prepared for my future role. Nick is a thoughtful, empathetic, and insightful coach. I highly recommend working with Nick and CoreTactic. More...

In three quick sessions, Nick has provided feedback that I have already applied and left me wanting more.
Nick is shaping up to be the mentor/coach I’ve been looking for.

Working with Nick at CoreTactic was extremely valuable at a time where my career started to feel like it was falling apart. Nick provided thoughtful guidance and was ultimately really instrumental in helping me to land my dream job. He was extremely skilled in interview preparation, and was invaluable in terms of helping me iron out the correct direction to take for my career. I cannot recommend working with CoreTactic enough! Thank you to Nick and the team! More...

Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, helpful.
Jeff Fontelera
My experience with CoreTactic has been life changing. Nick Rustad was instrumental in navigating me through some of life’s hard spots and gave me tools to work through them, particularly in resume building and interviews. His coaching style just “clicks” with me - it has the right balance of nurture and push which has worked with me in the past. We always need someone to be on our side, support us in difficult moments, cheer us on during our successes and steer us in uncomfortable waters. Nick and his team would be those people. I highly recommend them to anyone of any part of their lives that need some extra direction. It has been on of the best investments I’ve made to date. More...
