Meet Nina /Testimonials

MEET NINA

In 2004, I started my coaching journey, a bit on my own, but two years later I decided to attend a professional coach training program. It changed my life, which may sound as a “cliché”, but I count my life before and after that coach training. By this I mean that coaching and the coaching approach have affected me in most things I do, how I act at work, how I am with my colleagues, family and friends and I dare say that I have become a better person.

I have worked as a coach since 2006 and in 2012 I received my PCC certification. I run my own company where I work full time as a professional coach. The emphasis is on executive and leadership coaching and personal development. I am also a mentor coach ( I mentor individually professional coaches in training) and a coach trainer. Here I also collaborate with, among others, Coachutbildning Sverige AB and Skolcoacherna AB.

I am a member of International Coaching Federation, the world’s largest, non-profitable organisation for professional coaches and I follow their guidelines for ethics and quality. I served as an “ambassador” for the local ICF chapter in Stockholm, Sweden for 2,5 years and I was on the Steering Committee organizing the global conference in London 2012.

I have formerly worked as Product Manager and International Marketing Manager mainly within the pharmaceutical industry. My professional experience is predominantly from the self care area – food supplements, natural remedies and herbal medicinal products, but also prescription-free drugs. I also have experience from education/information, publicity and PR mainly from consumer products, tourism, catering, building and construction and the transportation industry.

Testimonials

  • "I have been delighted with your coaching, I think it has helped me to reflect and make the most conscious and thoughtful decisions. Due to the speed of my work I often follow my intuition, and with your coaching you have helped me to reflect in many situations. I like it that you are very close, but at the same time you manage the silences great to let me reach my own conclusions and decisions. I admit that at first I was a bit skeptical about coaching, but I loved the experience! And above all, in my role as coach to see how I can contribute and help people ... it's magical. In summary, I have a lot to thank you because thanks to you I have grown personally and professionally, you are a fantastic coach! .

    Belén Frau, CEO, IKEA Spain

  • "I really liked the atmosphere you have generated in the sessions and the level you challenged me. The climate has been of tranquility and of being 100% focused on the session giving it all the importance needed. The coaching has led to that I am more aware of what I like and I am taking steps to achieve my goals. Indirectly I am more aware that the changes depend on me. It is curious but unconsciously some internal gear has started to work thanks to the coaching sessions."

    Luis Ángel de la Viuda, HR, IKEA Spain

  • "You have a fabulous ability to put things into perspective. It has given me several new insights about my current life situation, that is my future working situation."

    Richard, Uppsala

  • "I have felt during the coaching sessions that you connected very well with me. You were understanding, open for what I told you without judgment. This allowed me to be myself and explore my own possibilities without the feeling that I had to comply with someone else's expectations. You helped me to create awareness and organize my mind so I could take my next steps. This was not an easy task since sometimes I can be all over the place! You did a very good job. You have strengthened my confidence by showing me what I can and what is useful for me. That has helped me building towards a future of possibilities. I have copied this with pride in the way I work with my coachees and the effect is fantastically powerful."

    Eric van der Does, Market Intelligence Manager, Madrid

  • "Nina has a gentle yet challenging way of getting you to see your potential. She has excellent listening skills and I always felt fully supported by her even between sessions. I have built in more time for activities and built better relationships. I have also learnt more about my uniqueness. She made me feel invincible. I would love to work with Nina again and would highly recommend her to anyone as a coach."

    Kish Modasia, Leadership and Career Coach, Wimbledon, UK

    Lena, Stockholm

  • "You have helped me move forward in confused situations. You gave me concrete help handling my insecurity when making presentations etc. which has been very stressful for me during the last couple of years. You managed to bring it down to a simple level and you gave me tools to use, which is exactly what I have been missing."
