“With Nina, every coaching session is a leap forward. While maintaining a clear guiding principle throughout the sessions, developing strong leadership aligned with one’s own strengths and values, she also knows how to tailor each session to the challenges encountered in professional or personal life, using virtually tailor-made tools to better reveal, unblock, and nurture both reflection and action. All with a sense of calm!”

“Nina has been coaching me since 2020 and has helped me tremendously in aligning my professional (and even personal) activities with what I really wanted to do. Making the transition from a ‘young, dynamic executive’ at Veolia to the founder of a fun and socially responsible company wasn’t an easy path. This transition raised quite a few questions, doubts, and, inevitably, some anxiety. Nina supported me throughout this process. She helped me take a step back, see things more clearly, and above all, find the courage to take the plunge.
And even after this transition, her guidance remains incredibly valuable. She continues to help me face new challenges with confidence.
Nina is a great listener, caring, and particularly insightful in her analysis. She has a real talent for guiding people through times of transition and helping them move in the right direction. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to her.”— Quentin Bechet, Business Leader, Veolia Australia

“Nina’s contribution to the advisory board has been invaluable from a strategic standpoint, helping us pinpoint the real issues with discernment and foresight. She has also helped us break down mental blocks and ingrained habits by getting to the root of our thoughts and beliefs. On a personal level, it’s enriching to talk with Nina because she’s able to point out areas of vulnerability and weaknesses with just the right balance of tact and sensitivity, ensuring that these messages are well-received, heard, and productive. She also brings a wealth of experience as a CSR director at a large, traditionally structured company, combined with complementary approaches such as B Corp, permaculture, and systems thinking. This allows us to shift our perspective, engage in genuine reflection on our ambitions, and articulate different ways of seeing things.”
— Solenn Assathiany, Co-founder of Mélibée

“Nina brings a sense of perspective and a very precise, human-centered understanding. This is essential in governance because these are nuanced and complex issues to identify. This situational and emotional intelligence is crucial because without it, other skills either fail to come to life or are applied in a counterproductive way. Her operational expertise is also valuable because Nina understands our issues within the context of the business, with a holistic view of economic challenges, hiring, suppliers, and so on.”
— Arthur Auboeuf, Co-founder of Team for the Planet

“I worked with Nina on a seminar aimed at defining our company’s strategic plan for the next three years. This was a new experience for our small business, whose culture is far removed from corporate norms and is built around a “garage” spirit and a culture of support. Nina took the time to understand our context and our expectations. She proposed tailored workshops that aligned with how we operate. The work we did helped clarify a shared vision and fostered a collective momentum that continues to this day. I recommend Nina to any organization that wants to move forward with this type of initiative—without a preconceived model and while staying true to its identity.”
— Victor Maffi-Berthier, Director of the Soil & Structures Division at INGEROP, Director of the GEOS and AVLS subsidiaries

She has developed numerous communication materials to raise employee awareness on various topics—

“I was fortunate to have Nina guide me through a period of upheaval in my personal and professional life. I needed to clarify my short-, medium-, and long-term goals, particularly in my career. I also needed to fully understand what drives me—what keeps me moving forward every day and what brings me joy in my activities.
Nina first took the time to listen to me in order to gain a deep understanding of my situation, my feelings, and my challenges. Then, through our very fruitful discussions, my aspirations for the next phase of my professional journey—as well as their implications for my personal life—gradually but very clearly emerged. Nina also guided me on how to bring about the desired changes and how to communicate them to my family, friends, and business partners.
Throughout the coaching process, Nina demonstrated rare intelligence, kindness, understanding, and gentleness. I therefore highly recommend her to any executive who is wondering about their next steps and the impact they wish to have on themselves, those around them, and the world!”— Arthur Dosne, Director of Marketing and Transformation at Upway

I’ve had the opportunity to work with her both in one-on-one sessions and as part of a leadership program that she brilliantly designed and facilitated. Her approach is structured, demanding, and deeply human.

Her advice is always very pragmatic and immediately actionable, with a real impact on decision-making, managerial style, and performance.
Beyond her expertise, it’s also her energy, her ability to listen, and her commitment that make all the difference. She doesn’t just provide guidance—she’s truly invested in the success of the people she works with.
I recommend Nina without hesitation to any leader looking to take their career to the next level, whether individually or through a structured program.”— Alexis Raccah, Regional Director for France, Verkada

“As I reach the end of my six months of coaching, I am incredibly grateful for the personal growth and clarity of mind I’ve gained throughout this journey. Working with Nina has helped me radically change the way I treat myself.
One of the most significant changes has been learning to say “no” without guilt and to set clear, healthy boundaries. Thanks to our work together, I’ve started to see situations differently, to embrace my emotions instead of pushing them away, and to adopt new perspectives that have helped me grow.
I’ve learned to be assertive and to redefine what it truly means to “prove myself,” moving away from my old patterns to become a more confident and grounded version of myself.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nina to anyone who wants to grow, build self-confidence, and make meaningful changes in how they live and approach life. This coaching experience with Nina has been a source of autonomy, grounding, and transformation, and I am deeply grateful to her for her guidance and support!”— Tasia M., Global Talent Intelligence, Ipsen
