Meet Nachum Kaplan
Nachum Kaplan isn’t your typical life coach. With a relaxed style, sharp wit, and a Ninja’s knack for turning stumbles into strategy, he specializes in helping high-achievers reframe their “failures” as hidden guideposts. His secret? Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), two decades of corporate leadership, martial arts mastery, and a very messy journey of his own.

Why We Need a “Mistake Mentor”
Society taught us to read, write, and hide our blunders. But what about:
-
Navigating failure without self-sabotage?
-
Turning anxiety into action?
-
Ditching “toxic positivity” for practical self-compassion?
Most of us crash into adulthood, realising no one gave us the manual for being human. Nachum’s here to write it—with you.
