Hi There! My name is Nina.
I help people like you navigate the unclear, disorienting, chaotic, and well, often totally uncomfortable process of career and life transition : ).
In 2014, I found myself confronting a major life and career transition of my own. Our 2nd son had just been born, and I felt my values starkly shift from mainly seeking success and fulfillment in my career, to building in space for my #1 clients — my awesome husband and our two amazing sons.
I recall the stark feeling of wanting to hurl after I put my notice into my job over 7-years ago. It felt really scary to contemplate leaving everything I knew, in order to navigate the uncharted territory of a new career path.
Heck, going after your dreams, experimenting, and activating goals takes a lot of courage, and feeling uncertain about it ahead of time is perfectly normal. Yet, I’m so happy that I took the leap all those years ago.
Today, I’ve build a successful coaching practice, and I get to spend plenty of time with my family. I feel more purposeful and passionate about the value I bring to the world than ever before, and I cannot WAIT to help YOU do it too!
Since 2014, I’ve been helping hundreds of clients navigate their career and life transitions. A couple of years ago, my client capacity reached its maximum, so unwillingly, I started having to turn clients away. This didn’t feel right at all; especially, when I knew people could benefit from my program. And for this reason, I decided to create the PAVE CHALLENGE, because I believe everyone can step into their limitless potential with the right guidance and support.
Having watched Nina PAVE her own journey from the corporate world to becoming an entrepreneur first hand is not just an inspiration but it also speaks to her living out what she teaches. This was a big deciding factor for me to join the PAVE challenge but the clincher was knowing that it would be a “hybrid” learning environment where I would be going through the self-paced teachings with other life long learners.
As a digital technologist I can say that the internet can be a very…WEIRD…place to meet and interact with people BUT the once a month virtual PAVE sessions created an amazing mashup of internalized learnings and community connection for me that just made sense. The sessions created accountability, inspiration, and thought provoking insights that could never be achieved with just a self guided program and it gave me the push I needed to start truly Paving my own way.
