“ Nina has a proactive style and regularly challenges me to consider things from a different perspective. She is also great at suggesting how I could push myself a bit more, by helping me break down the relevant mental barriers. This has been really powerful. I feel much more in control of my life and my choices since starting my coaching with Nina, and have made some really positive changes to my life. ”

“ I was working successfully in a good job but without a clear sense of career strategy for the next 10 years. I was concerned that I should deal with that strategy gap from a position of strength rather than leave it to a point in my career when I might be under some pressure. I wanted to have someone independent who understood my background to evaluate my thought process and test my hypothesis. I also needed help with interviews as I hadn’t done any for 10 years. Nina delivered a great interview course and precise feedback points for me to work on. I also came away feeling much more confident about what I had to offer and consequently my disposition at interview was greatly improved. Nina and I also worked out where to set the ‘bar’ for change to avoid a reactive move which might not actually improve my long term situation. We discussed what I would need to believe about what another organisation had to offer to make a worthwhile change. This helped me ‘filter’ opportunities. This kind of help should be one part of everyone’s career evaluation and if that leads onto to exploring opportunities, an essential part of interview preparation. ”

“ I gained further clarity about what was important to me, including really understanding my values. It also gave me the opportunity to voice my fears in a non-judgmental space which I really needed. Nina listens deeply and helped me to see that the dreams or desires I had for my life could happen wherever I lived, and this made me feel much more excited and open to the opportunity of moving country. As a coach she challenged me in a positive way, while at the same time being kind, reflective and compassionate. ”

“ After having two children I looked to re-insert myself in the workplace, and I felt I couldn’t go back to my previous job as my career there was stagnant. I started a series of job interviews with a very exciting start up, and Nina helped me through the interview process. She also added a lot of value during the salary negotiations and educated me on how to negotiate equity with the business, which is something I have never done before. I’m now in the process of signing a contract for a base salary that’s 40% higher than what I was earning before, getting a good chunk of equity in the business, and receiving an overall package that is more than twice what I was getting! It also goes beyond financials; I feel a lot more confident about myself and I’m really keen to start working for a company that truly values me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her and I’m positive that I would be far from sharing such a success story. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. ”

“ My experience during the coaching was enlightening and freeing. Nina allowed me to be honest with myself in what came up during the sessions. She helped me to identify and prioritise my personal goals and to identify my personal obstacles, question why they were there and then most importantly guide me to navigate past obstacles. I felt empowered at the end of each session and motivated to move forward into action. “

“ I needed guidance to organise my thoughts and bring some clarity to my future career.  I was looking to get back into work and after 15 years away from the workplace, my confidence was a little low and I had very random ideas about what to do next. Working with Nina I was able to crystallise my thoughts and feel more positive about my future. I felt a very strong connection with Nina, which made it very easy to open up and speak from the heart. She gave me the confidence to go out and give IT a go. Whatever IT was going to be. I felt enthused, positive and ready to roll. ”
