About Nina….
Hi, I’m Nina and I am so glad you’re here.
I’m a certified Women’s Leadership & Career Coach and specialise in coaching purpose-led women leaders and aspiring leaders enhance their leadership skills and navigate change in both their professional and personal lives. I am versatile in my coaching approach and create bespoke programmes for each of my clients.
I am also a trained lawyer with executive leadership experience and have led teams of lawyers and volunteers, drawing inspiration from feminist leadership principles. I have experience of navigating significant change both in my professional and personal life, and this informs my coaching practice and the support I provide my clients.
As a lawyer, I have worked in France, the US and the UK. My legal career began in the international arbitration practice of a US firm in Paris. I then moved to Los Angeles and worked for a small non profit providing free legal services, education, and advocacy for low-income residents of Los Angeles County. My work in women’s empowerment really began there, where I supported and represented domestic violence survivors in their family law proceedings. I was inspired by my clients’ strength and the transformation they created for themselves and their children, albeit through particularly challenging times. After leaving Los Angeles, I continued to be driven by effecting positive social change and empowering girls and women. This led me to work in the international charity sector in the field of women and children’s rights.
I discovered the power of coaching when I was at a crossroads myself, wondering what next? I found the process so supportive and transformational and was inspired to train as a coach. I now coach full time and absolutely love what I do. It is such a privilege to partner with each of my clients on their journey.
As a mother to two daughters, I also have personal experience of the pressures on working mothers and many professional women.
I coach in English or French and create an empathetic and supportive space for my clients to move forwards with clarity, confidence and improved physical and mental wellbeing.
Thank you so much for visiting…I’d love to hear how I can help.
