"I would like to take his opportunity to extend a big thank you to Nina for her support and guidance throughout the coaching programme. With her help, I was able to effectively navigate my perceived hurdles pertaining to confidence, communication skills and the dreaded imposter syndrome! Nina's exceptional listening skills, combined with the self-directed and adaptable nature of the appointments, allowed me to explore and grow. Each session was challenging (in a good way!),filled with meaningful conversations and various activities that led to plenty of 'lightbulb moments'. Together, we unpacked those thoughts and beliefs that no longer served me, and replaced them with empowering mindsets, tools and techniques. Throughout this period, I am pleased to say that significant progress has been noticed by both myself and others. I would happily recommend Nina to anyone seeking personal and/or professional development within the irrespective field.” - Daniel
