How it works
Book a time and share a bit about what’s on your mind.
I will send you an invoice via Square to confirm the time.
We’ll meet, talk, and work through a current challenge as a chemistry ‘vibe check’, and then outline focus areas if we want to keep meeting.
Nina’s expertise and guidance helped me feel confident and prepared going into my interview. She helped me tie my case stories together in a way that transformed my presentation into a compelling narrative that not only showcased my skills but also told a story.”
Nina is a very insightful leader. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to walk her through my ideas while I was in work transition. She helped me articulate my thoughts in a clearer way and helped me probe deeper in my explanation. Her intuition and design leadership experience makes her very good at helping you get unstuck. Our conversation quickly dived deep and she dropped some mind provoking wisdom along the way. “Whatever you do you’ll end up getting more of that. So do what you love.” It was nice to feel someone understood me so well and also really cared about my success after only our first session!
