Beautiful safe space to express ourselves
I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space during our coaching and NLP training where we felt safe to express our thoughts and feelings freely and as such we grew together, celebrated each other and had formed deep friendships by the end of the course. I didn't want it to end!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the coaching and NLP training was all online, but I needn’t of worried as Nina has such mastery at making every individual of the group feel seen, heard and valued.
A life-time self-improvement toolkit
I was intrigued by Nina’s boutique-type training offering, as I would polish my Coaching skills, I was using as an executive and as a consultant, in the business world. At a time where there was plenty of uncertainty (Covid) and I felt overwhelmed, I got: A lifetime self-improvement toolkit, an upgraded mindset, some significant shadow work integration (ongoing), purposeful steps in work related evolution and life itself.
The Diploma in Coaching and NLP Master course is brilliantly designed. Nina connects the dots as you learn & practice in tandem. In the process you add a definite layer of experiential sophistication from a skilful field Teacher.
