Success Stories

One year, I found myself without a job or a clear path for a meaningful career. When I chose Nina to help me navigate this overwhelming task, I soon realized it was the best money I have ever spent. I had some foggy ideas and notions about career options, but it was Nina who helped me focus on what was important for me - not what was important for others. Nina’s exquisite listening skills and sincere encouragement helped to quickly get to the heart of the matter. After much research and soul searching, we developed a career path that included graduate school and two very rewarding jobs.

I have floated in and out of Nina’s business when I needed a “tune-up” on my resume or help with important career decisions. Nina’s coaching skills have had a tremendous impact on me. Even my husband was thrilled with Nina’s guidance on contract and salary negotiations…same for another friend.

I cannot overstate her contribution to my life.

For the past 30 years I have been working in the fields of teaching and ministry. I have seen so many people trying to realize their dream of finding their path in life. But from my own experience, I know that you need someone to help you through the process of imagining and realizing the direction of your journey.

When I was searching for some help, I found Nina and she guided me through a process of imagining and realizing my vocational potential. The work I completed with her allowed me to make a plan for my life's work. She is exceptional in her ability to listen, to plan, and to give support, as well as the amazing network and breadth of knowledge she brings to her work. I have had contact with many career counselors, but I always refer people to Nina first, because she is the best counselor I have met.

I am so confident about her abilities that I referred my own 26 year-old son and 23 year-old daughter to her as they begin their journeys. No matter where you are on your journey, I recommend Nina as the person who can help you realize your dreams and your potential.

What Nina has given me is much more than career insight, it’s insight into who I am. We come to crossroads in our careers (and lives) for so many reasons. Nina is an expert at helping people get past obstacles. On so many occasions I have gone back to the work I did with Nina, not just for career purposes, but to remind my self of what’s important to me. She helped me to see the value in my skills, to find the words to articulate my goals, and to own the confidence to pursue the path I wanted. I recommend her highly.

Nina has been an exceptional career and life coach. She has had a profound impact on my professional and personal life. Nina’s non-judgmental approach has not only allowed me to clarify my career objectives and goals, but also to examing the issues that have blocked me from pursuing my potential.

Nina’s support, compassion, and warmth have provided me with a safe environment in which to examine my strengths and weaknesses without fear or embarrassment. As a result of my work with Nina, I have been able to make career and life choices that are right for me and that have increased my professional and personal happiness and satisfaction.

I started working with Nina after I decided that my current job was not challenging, and my employer started laying people off because of adverse market conditions. At that point in my career, I had not inverviewed anywhere in five years. Nina helped me understand that the career goals I set for myself were achievable, and indeed were exactly what I wanted. With her guidance, I revised my resume with focused content and a contemporary format. She also helped me draft a template for a cover letter that I then edited for individual employers’ needs.

When I got an invitation for an inverview, Nina coached me in interviewing skills and my presentation style. One technique that was very helpful was rehearsing anticipated interview questions, with immediate critique and repetition to solidify what I learned. Working with Nina also gave me the confidence to negotiate a more challenging assignment with my current employer. I recommend Nina to anyone wanting to change his or her relationship to the workplace.

I worked with Nina at a crucial time of transition in both my career and life. Her profesional style and technique meshed well with my desire to discover and understand my future goals, strengths, and passion. Years after our work together, I’ve found, pursued, and obtained the work qualities that revealed themselves with Nina’s guidance. A big bonus is that, after many years, my life “style” has been affected and guided with the information mined from the process. I stay in contact with Nina to this day, and consider her a touchstone in my life.
