Hello!

 

My name is Nick Oredson. I am a writer, university instructor,

group facilitator, life coach and youth mentor currently living

and working in Southern Oregon.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in education (M.S. Ed.) from Southern

Oregon University (2020) where I focused my studies on emotional

intelligence education and group facilitation.  In addition to

my coaching clients I also work as a lead mentor for Rogue Valley

Mentoring here in the valley – working in the high school and 

middle school environment supporting a social emotional

learning (SEL) curriculum through student circles. I also facilitate

a variety of support circles in my community which include

men’s groups, mixed gender groups and parent support groups.

​
