Knikki Hernandez spends much of her time asking questions, helping people untangle complex ideas, and exploring the remarkable potential that exists within every human being. Whether she is working with a student, interviewing a guest on her podcast, or observing the world around her, she is driven by a profound and insatiable curiosity about what makes people think, grow, struggle, adapt, and ultimately thrive. An educator, writer, entrepreneur, and podcast host, Knikki believes that every person possesses unique gifts, strengths, and perspectives that often remain hidden beneath self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or educational systems that prioritize conformity over individuality. Her work is centered on helping people discover those gifts, develop confidence in their own thinking, and cultivate the courage to express themselves authentically. As the founder of Turning The Tide Tutoring and New Generations Academy, Knikki has dedicated her career to creating learning experiences that go far beyond grades and test scores. While strong writing, communication, and critical thinking skills are important, she sees them as vehicles for something deeper: helping people better understand themselves, connect with others, and engage more fully with the world around them. She believes education is at its best when it awakens curiosity rather than merely delivers information. Knikki's fascination with human potential extends beyond education. Through The Gentle Year Podcast, she explores the many dimensions of personal growth, learning, psychology, parenting, faith, resilience, creativity, and the human experience. She is especially drawn to conversations that challenge assumptions, reveal hidden truths, and inspire people to see themselves and others through a more thoughtful lens. At her core, Knikki is endlessly fascinated by people. She believes every individual has a story worth hearing and wisdom worth sharing. That same sense of wonder extends to the natural world and the animals that inhabit it, reminding her daily that there is far more to learn than any one person could uncover in a lifetime. She is also deeply motivated by achievement and excellence, not as a pursuit of status or recognition, but as an expression of what becomes possible when people fully develop their abilities. She is inspired by those who strive, create, build, overcome obstacles, and pursue meaningful goals with passion and integrity. To her, success is not measured by titles or accolades, but by growth, contribution, and the willingness to become a little better than you were yesterday. Above all, Knikki's work is guided by a simple belief: human beings are far more capable, resilient, intelligent, and extraordinary than they often realize. Her mission is to help people uncover that truth for themselves.

As a self-confessed high performer, perfectionist, bad loser, and constant learner, Alex Manos understands the demands and challenges of trying to keep calm, balanced, and composed while still setting audacious dreams and having high aspirations. Growing up as the youngest of three boys, continuously playing catch-up and always striving to be better, smarter, sportier, and just overall outperforming his two brothers, Alex developed certain character traits such as dedication, commitment, ambition, and drive. However, this mindset also led to a constant feeling of not being good enough, staying stuck in a world of comparison to others, and believing that external validation was key to feeling good. Alex achieved the awards, got the grades, attended the best university, landed a prestigious job with a great salary, yet it was never enough. When everything came crashing down—losing his job, home, partner, and salary—he turned inward and began a journey of self-awareness and personal growth at the age of 36. Reflecting back, he remembers always being drawn to adult conversations as a young child, listening and learning things that were perhaps beyond his years. Fast forward 15 years, and Alex had finished his degree and landed his first job at the professional football club, Crystal Palace, where he spent 3 years, initially with the academy and then with the first team. He went on to pursue a master’s degree and returned from Australia to work in a physiotherapy clinic in London. Four years later, he had the opportunity to return to Crystal Palace as the Head of the Medical Department for 6 years. He then worked with a professional tennis player for a year before returning to private practice. In 2017, while facing personal challenges, Alex invested time, energy, and money into therapy and self-development. He trained to become a yoga teacher and later started training to be a Personal Performance Coach. During the COVID pandemic, he transitioned away from physiotherapy and began focusing more on coaching. Today, he splits his time between both. Over the past few years, Alex focused on helping other healthcare professionals with coaching but has now shifted his attention to elite performers and athletes. Having spent 25 years in high-performance sport at the highest level, he truly understands that world. He’s lived it, breathed it, and emerged with a new perspective—a healthier, more grounded view of what it truly takes to be an elite athlete.
