Andre Johnson 
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58/NIV)
PURPOSE PUSHER
In case you don’t know him, Dr. Shawn M. Nicholson would like to introduce himself.
A native of Hackensack, New Jersey, Dr. Nicholson, 52, is accomplished entrepreneur, business coach, and trainer who is the founder and CEO of Pivot To Passion Academy, his Richmond, Virginia-based featured endeavor that is a branch of Dr Shawn M Nicholson, LLC.
Generally, through Pivot To Passion Academy, Dr. Nicholson has become a fixture for customarily helping individuals redefine success, particularly by identifying their passion and mastering the art of the PIVOT — an acronym that stands for Planning Innovation, Vision, Outway, Threats.
“I am passionate about preparing a marketable pipeline for the workforce by producing solid leadership for the future, helping individuals to activate passion, potential, and purpose,” Dr. Nicholson told Making Headline News as part of its advance national media coverage for Bishop T. D. Jakes 2024 International Leadership Summit from Dallas March 21-23. I believe passion is the ability to PASS-I-ON.”

A progressive, thriving business that services individuals and groups of all ages — “middle school, high school, collegiate, professionals, and retirees,” he emphasized — Dr. Nicholson’s Pivot To Passion Academy has garnered an international impact, having made its presence felt in as far as South Africa and India.
To his credit, Dr. Nicholson’s rise to reaping sustained success through his notable line of work for the past 15 years comes amid humble beginnings.
“From a young age, I have always tried to beat the highest score and to excel in everything I did,” Dr. Nicholson, who established Pivot To Passion Academy in 2023, told MHN. “I compete against myself daily. In the context of business, I feel my competitive drive can motivate individuals and teams to innovate, strive for excellence, and continuously improve their products or services. This drive comes from a passion to meet customer needs more effectively, outperform competitors, and achieve personal or organizational goals.”
In essence, Dr. Nicholson said his strategic mission through Pivot To Passion Academy is centered in large part on teach people — particular those crippled by fear, imposter syndrome, not knowing what to do, overthinking the process, and lack of clarity — to steadfastly pivot to their passion.
By all accounts, this is done by executing what is known as his 5-Step Formula To Overcome Setbacks, Smash Limiting Beliefs, Live Your Best Life, Create Financial Freedom, and Impact Lives.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Nicholson said he’s been afforded the golden opportunity to use what he suitably refers to as AED: Assisting businesses, Encouraging entrepreneurship, and Developing ecosystem builders.
Such an intriguingly fascinating trend is centered on helping people activate their individual passion, potential, and purpose.
Once a high school dropout who resumed his educational ambitions by acquiring a GED, Dr. Nicholson holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Liberty University with a concentration in Christian Counseling. Consequently, Dr. Nicholson in 2022 receive an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Philosophy from Global Oved Dei Seminary and University (GODSU).

When asked to whom he credits for his success in the entrepreneurial sector, Dr. Nicholson said, “There isn’t one person. It has been my tribe throughout the years that have had an impact on me.”
Dr. Nicholson’s itinerary includes appearing at the IC3 Conference, Houston in April. Also, he is scheduled to attend The Grounded Foundation in the Raleigh/Durham (North Carolina) area in May.
“I have been very blessed to have had parents to teach me certain fundamental principles that have contributed to my philosophy of life and wanting to see people excel,” Dr. Nicholson said. “In essence, the daily practice of esteeming and inspiring others is a powerful tool for enabling transformation, promoting success, and creating a vibrant, supportive community that extends well beyond the confines of the Pivot to Passion Academy.
“It’s not just about the immediate benefits to participants but also about fostering a culture of empowerment, respect, and continuous growth that can have lasting effects on individuals and communities alike.”
