“As soon as I reached out to Nick, I could immediately tell that he was a great listener. He asked pertinent questions and wanted to clearly understand what I was looking for in order to best meet my needs. Throughout my time with him, he was responsive, sent me useful resources, connected me with individuals who could speak directly to my interests, and most importantly, he made me feel supported through and through. Working with Nick not only gave me hope about my prospects but also provided tangible resources, contacts, and next steps so I could move forward in my goals. I can’t thank him enough.”

“Nick Warner means business. His approach is creative, timely and insightful. He gives you tangible ideas that turn into winning strategies for your business. He’s easily accessible and always makes time for even the smallest questions. There’s no better person than Nick to help you grow your business.”
John Kabateck
President, Kabateck Strategies
“Nick was the very first person to help me get my political and public affairs consulting firm, Kabateck Strategies, up and running. Without even asking, Nick kindly offered to sit down with me to share his wisdom in business operations, marketing and the “soup to nuts” machinations that have today made my business a growing success. Nick started off by meeting with me and discussing a small business start-up checklist – everything I would need to have and know to get things going, from business license and certification needs, to website and marketing tools, to operational needs, to general keen advice on building the client base. Candidly, I don’t know how I would have gotten things started – or at least wouldn’t have realized as much growth and potential as early as I did – had it not been for Nick and his superior knowledge, kindness, and mentoring. He genuinely loves helping to coach others on how to be successful in business, and his example as an entrepreneurial success is a real motivator. I am so thankful to Nick Warner for giving me not only the tools and counsel, but the confidence and creative mindset, to take Kabateck Strategies from a building block in 2015 to an evolving California leader in full-service political and communications strategy organization. Any others would be as fortunate and blessed as we have been these past several years.”
Dennis Williams
Founder/Partner 3 Bridges Consulting
“Nick Warner and I have collaborated on a variety of projects. Prior to starting my own business he and I built a partnership that allowed my previous company to drive revenue in a category that had been largely untapped. Nick was instrumental at opening doors with decision makers and leaders in the political arena, that we would never have had access to on our own. As I put together a plan to create a new consulting firm in 2018 , Nick was one of my most important resources. As someone who had run his own business for more than 20 years, I found his advice invaluable. His counsel allowed us to start strong and avoid many of the pitfalls that a young business can run into. Had we not followed Nick’s advice, I am certain we would not have been able to make it through the unprecedented pandemic. We were able to build a very strong company that has the financial stability to survive. Nick Warner is an open-minded innovative leader with the skill set and experience to help all size businesses with their strategy, development and growth.”
Brandon Castillo
Partner, BCF Public Affairs
“Nick’s advice helps me elevate above the daily rut of running my business, to challenge the way I think and operate. Because he’s run a successful small business for decades, Nick’s advice is not theoretical. It’s both strategic and practical.“
Lee Seale
Sacramento Chief Probation Officer
“I’ve known Nick for over a decade and have benefited greatly from his advice and wisdom. He is a natural coach and leader. I’ve seen him guide and advise everyone from line-level officers and analysts to Sheriffs, Chiefs, legislators and three different Governors. His impact is astonishing. I’ve previously contracted with him to consult with my management team and the response was overwhelmingly positive – we will have him back again. In all my years of working in and around the Capitol for some of the largest state departments and law enforcement agencies, Nick has the strongest people skills and best natural coaching style of anyone I’ve had the pleasure to know. His management insights and organizational strategies are extraordinarily helpful. He will always be someone I turn to for advice and executive-level coaching.“
