“Turning my ideas into an actual business”
I was searching for a Creative Business Coach online and Nina, her website, overall approach, etc., just spoke to me. I immediately felt she can help me. I needed support with seeing the forest for the trees and finding clarity with the bunch of ideas that I had. In just one Power Session we were not only able to brainstorm together, but also finding way more clarity for all my ideas, a strategy for my next steps and an action plan to turn my ideas into an actual business. I’m beyond grateful to have found Nina. Highly recommended!

“I now have my elegant and helpful elevator pitch”
Nina was amazingly helpful with my business. As someone who speaks their words with pictures, she was great at helping me figure out how to write that into an elegant and helpful elevator pitch for my business. She also helped me figure out a marketing plan to get started with my new messaging. So glad I booked with her!

“Feeling grounded and facing my fears”
Having the accountability of a coach and partnership helped me to really face down some of my biggest fears! Committing to face your own imposter syndrome on a regular basis may not sound fun at all, but you learn to actively deal with it and build a resilience towards it. I feel grounded in a very peaceful way – I’ve learned to be more patient with the process of building a business that makes sense for where I’m at and for where I’m heading. Nina helped me recognize where I need to allow myself to carry things more lightly and courageously try things out, rather than hyper-analyze every decision I make.

“Structure and accountability”
My time with Nina was invaluable. She helped sharpen my focus and get things done. She helped me prioritize and structured our sessions so that I knew exactly what to do during the week. She gave me exactly what I was ready for and knew when to stop to avoid overwhelm. My business is much better for her help.

“Re-energized my business”
In the summer of 2022 I was feeling the need to re-energize my two-decade-old, one-person business. I decided on a 90-min. Zoom-based power session focused on exploring my values (beginning with a helpful pre-meeting assignment). Working with Nina, even so briefly, was a really valuable part of helping me pivot my business. I found her personable, empathetic, no-nonsense and able to talk with experience about the challenges and joys of being a solo-preneur. Thanks Nina!

“Clarity and direction”
After working with Nina as my creative coach over the past few months, I am so pleased with the results. Nina has helped me gain clarity on my values and the direction of my business, and has provided me with the tools and resources to make my goals a reality. I have really enjoyed working with her, and would highly recommend her coaching services!

“Your summary and suggestions were spot on”
“The outcome of our Power Session was spot on, and left me with a clear next step for my business. The metaphor that showed up (me as a business owner being a single dad of a demanding teenager) stuck with me and was a truth I felt, but could not articulate before. Now that I know what to do next, my actions arrange around this topic and let me move forward with purpose and clarity for my business and personal future.”

“My mindset is so much stronger”
I was just starting my business, and now I feel like the ball is actually rolling forward. Your program helped me set goals and really strategize what needs to happen. I would not have known where to start without it. Between your materials and my notes from our calls, I know exactly what to do. I feel much more confident, my mindset is so much stronger.

“Clarity and cool marketing ideas in just one session”
“Before our conversation I had too many creative ideas, and was just chasing glitter. Nina brought out of me what gives me the most joy: acting. She gave me marketing tools to present myself better, and a great new idea to monetize my skills, which I hadn’t even thought of.”

“I feel confident and no longer lost”
“I have really enjoyed our weekly calls over the 3 months, and I learned and developed loads. Sometimes it’s not the weight on the bar that matters, it’s the feel, and the weight will come in time. I feel like that about my business, I feel better and confident and I don’t feel lost anymore. With this feeling, I know more clients will come.

“Clarity around my offers”
“I was wondering how to combine all my ideas, and felt overwhelmed about how to create a clear message on social media of what my business actually is, because I have so many different things I do. Nina gave me smart tools to try and advice about which steps to take next. She was supportive, clear and inspiring. She quickly came up with some unique ideas, which I would never have thought of myself and I really loved.”

“A marketing plan to set us up for success”
As creative small business owners ourselves, Nina’s 7-week marketing course was a perfect fit for us. Running a small business can be a chore at times and having to balance marketing on top of it all is overwhelming. In only 7 weeks, we were able to gain confidence and learn the available options for marketing our business. We left the course with a marketing plan to set us up for success.

“A much clearer message”
Before working with Nina I was feeling completely daunted by the whole ‘marketing my business’ thing. I now have a much clearer idea of the message I want to get across, and I am brimming with fresh ideas. Already I have received several positive comments from people in my network who have noticed a difference. I had so many ‘Eureka’ moments, but I think my favourite was that marketing your business shouldn’t feel like a grind.

“Inspired by possibilities”
So many working pieces of marketing can be overwhelming to manage and difficult to form a clear direction. The 7-week program has motivated me to improve our marketing efforts greatly. I’m inspired by the possibilities of what our new website can achieve for us.

“Goals, strategies and clear actions”
Before working with you I felt overwhelmed. I had a dream, but didn’t know how to turn it into reality. I missed a high-level strategy to guide my actions, which in turn made my endeavours lack focus. Now I feel I’m more in control. Your experience in the creative industry is extremely valuable to me. I also love your hands-on attitude and how you make things simple without losing depth.
