YOUR QUIET REBELLION
STARTS NOW
You’ve built a successful career as a tech leader or entrepreneur.
The salary is solid. The title turns heads. The perks are hard to walk away from.
But your time isn’t yours. Your energy is scattered.
Your attention is constantly hijacked.
It’s not just burnout…it’s misalignment.
and the life you’ve been living is quietly asking for a reckoning.
THE HIGH PERFORMER PARADOX
You’ve always been the reliable one.
The achiever. The leader. The fixer.
But now…
Another bonus that doesn’t land.
Another promotion that costs more than it gives.
Another round of layoffs that has you asking, What am I even doing this for?
You’re not just tired.
You're stretched thin - across a life that looks good from the outside, but feels hollow on the inside.
You don’t need more hacks, mantras, or wishful thinking.
You need a different relationship with your time, energy, attention and capacity.
The career that promised you financial freedom now has you feeling trapped.
RECLAIM WHAT MATTERS
The Quiet Rebellion isn't about quitting dramatically, or burning bridges.
It's about reclaiming your time, energy, attention and capacity on your own terms, while crafting a new way of being that preserves what truly matters.
That’s what I help my clients do.
These are not surface-level shifts.
This is realignment at the core.

Stay in corporate but transform your experience
Build a runway for a meaningful sabbatical

WHO IS THIS GUY?
I’m Nicholas Whitaker Co-founder of Changing Work, and guide for your Quiet Rebellion.
I know what it’s like to wake up at 3 a.m. wondering if the life you’ve built is still yours.
After 13 years in tech, I hit that wall myself.
I had to make a decision.
Keep climbing a ladder that was costing me everything…or take a leap to build a life and career aligned with my values.
I chose the second path, and years later that decision is paying off. I’m living a life I could only dream of before in my 9-9 job.
Now I help others do the same, on their own terms.
Some reimagine their current role.
Some build something entirely new.
All of them reclaim what matters most.
The work I do blends hard earned wisdom and research backed tactics with deep training in mindfulness, psychology, strategy and communication.
Most importantly, it also includes 40+ years of lived experience through tech, entrepreneurship, and climbing my way out of poverty.
No magical thinking, or quick fixes here.
This work is practical, tactical but also deeply personal.
This isn’t career coaching.
This isn’t life coaching.
This is conscious leadership coaching.
This is depth coaching.
And it starts by getting radically honest about where you are now…and where you want to be.
From there, we blaze a path to get you there.
