Her insightful guidance and strategic advice have not only enhanced my leadership skills but also significantly improved my decision-making abilities. Her coaching empowered me to navigate challenges with confidence and achieve my professional goals. I highly recommend Nina’s coaching services for anyone looking to elevate their leadership.”
“My experience with Nina Cashman and Pave Your Way coaching was nothing short of fantastic. Her intuitive guidance and thoughtful frameworks (both in the online courses and 1-1 coaching) opened up new ways of realizing my potential as a leader. Her presence and the approach she used provided a safe space for me to be vulnerable, allowing me to unpack unhelpful fears and behaviors that were holding me back. It felt like I had a kind, energetic cheerleader at my side, encouraging me to open my heart and take the next step on my career path. The experience was much more than just “career coaching”; it was an opportunity to dive deep into what I really, really want in my professional life - and the practical guidance how to achieve it. Thank you Nina!”
“Our paths crossed when I was at a very interesting juncture in my career journey where my actions and behavior that brought accomplishments till then were all of a sudden becoming a roadblock for me. It was very difficult for me to rationalize what was happening and needed a fresh perspective. It was such a timely engagement with Nina where she dug in deep with me through our time to understand at a very deep level about who I was and helped me develop a perspective that opened the world of opportunities for me. The energy leadership framework was extremely helpful for me to become more self-aware. Nina guided me to recognize the organizational behavior around me to help me understand it at a deeper level that guided my actions to produce an outcome that was very successful. Because of Nina, I am a better professional and a better person. Thank you Nina for helping me see the world differently than before. It has truly been an enlightening, life-enriching experience for me that will stay with me forever. You are truly special, and I am so lucky to have had an opportunity to have a coach like you!”
“Inspiring and Life-Changing Coaching with Nina Working with Nina has truly been a life-changing experience. Her contagious optimism and sophisticated groundedness empowered me to elevate my expectations and aspirations. Before coaching with Nina, I was already a highly focused, goal-oriented person in some aspects of my life. However, with her support and savvy, I was able to clearly define the attributes, qualities, and lifestyle I wished to attract and enjoy in both my business and personal life. She helped me see the full scope of true success, transforming my vision into reality. Nina was always fully present and intuitively connected to my unique history, perspectives, and dreams. She truly “saw me” and sat alongside me, seeing the world through my eyes. This deep understanding allowed me to lower my guard and feel fully understood. Her incredible insights were strikingly on point as she gently yet expertly dove into the core of each topic. From discussions about how I consciously choose to view events and conversations to tackling the “voice in my head” that often discouraged me, Nina helped me gain awareness of my underlying motivations. This newfound clarity significantly transformed my constant ruminating, second-guessing, and scenario-playing habits into feelings of assurance and a greater sense of closure. I wholeheartedly endorse Nina as a guide and ally for ambitious professionals seeking personal and professional growth. Her coaching is a powerful tool for envisioning and creating your most successful year yet, both personally and professionally.”
“Life Changing. This is the best way I can describe my experience with Nina, Bobby, and the whole Pave Your Way team. The impact from their programs has transformed how I lead and the culture of our company. It has also changed my personal life in ways I did not expect. Nina and Bobby are great people and have YOUR best interest in mind in all they do.”
“Nina is a deeply knowledgeable, highly experienced coach whose coaching practice (PAVE) has provided stellar services to numerous clients over the years. Both my husband and I are coaches, and have a very high bar for those we would consider for client referrals. Nina sits with very few others at the top of our list of insightful, impactful, change-focused coaches. She listens for what gets in the way of a person’s greatness; challenges beliefs and stories; co-creates action plans with clients that create accountability; and opens up new possibilities for those she serves. She is certified in assessment tools; is an accomplished teacher of other coaches; and I specifically brought Nina into my previous company to provide coaching for our executives. Without exception, each leader who had the privilege of working with Nina experienced work and life shifts that they attribute directly to their work with her. If you are looking for an intentional change partner for yourself or your company, we would unequivocally recommend Nina and trust her ability to match the right coaches in PAVE with the right clients.”
“There is magic in you—pure magic. Nina Cashman and her team are masterful alchemists who will help you channel the incredible, deeply personal, and profoundly powerful gifts you carry toward your highest good. They will empower you to see (and harness) your light and creative energy. As you Pave Your Way, you will find yourself feeling more confident, more grounded, more vibrant. You’ll feel more like yourself and less like an imposter of yourself. You’ll find yourself experiencing and expressing passion in new ways. Your leadership will feel deeply authentic to you and your teams. You will see solutions where you once could only sense them. Jump in! I promise you will not regret it.”
“Working with Nina exceeded my expectations. I have engaged with career and life coaches before that were helpful, but Nina took it to a whole other level. I found myself fully engaged in each session—often dealing with topics that are not so easy to confront—and, in between sessions, relying on the coaching tools she introduced. Regularly I hear Nina’s voice in my head with her nuggets of wisdom or relevant quote that makes what I need to be mindful of easy to remember. On top of all of that she’s fun and funny! I am going to deeply miss our scheduled touchpoints once I ‘graduate’.”
“Nina is a top notch business and personal coach and consultant. I first met her while running my 60 people company and she had amazing insight and tools to guide me through my leadership skills as a CEO. Nina has later been instrumental in helping me through intensive sessions in personal and business settings. She is talented, caring and super professional, most importantly her method is very efficient and fun. I recommend her to committed people who are ready to personal and professional growth, she paves the way!”
“I interviewed with a few other coaches before meeting Nina, and I am so glad I decided to continue with her for my executive coaching needs. A thorough professional, she “got me” from day one. She built her approach around my specific needs, and not the other way around. She was engaged, thorough, compassionate, and, most of all, a coach. One cannot put a price on the knowledge she imparted, and I will be ever grateful to her for it.”
“Nina is one of my favorite people to confide in with important life and career matters. She has proven, again and again, to fearlessly call it like she sees it. Through Nina’s dedicated approach and focus, she helped me to cut out so much CRAP that I was unable to do with mere personal introspection. The work I have done with Nina has been both an honor and a privilege. It is work that is making a lasting and noticeable impact on my life and how choose to live it.”
“Working with Nina was a life shifting experience. I went into our coaching sessions not knowing what to expect, my only framework being that I was looking for inspiration for some life changes. With Nina’s guidance and deep knowledge, I gained perspective into levels of energy, relating it to all parts of my life and making a life altering shift in how I approach many things, both at work and in my personal life. That’s just one small piece of how she helped encourage my growth. I’m forever grateful to Nina!”
“How much would you pay for a key that would fully unlock the potential you have inside you? Much of which you may not even know exists? Working with Nina unlocked a lifetime of not recognizing and unleashing my full potential. Now, having a key to do so, I have a much better understanding of how to carefully recognize and step through the minefields of self-doubt. Nina truly took her professional experience and molded it to my specific personality and issues, and walked me from a cloudy blurred self-perception to a much clearer picture of my potential, which I’m excited to tap into more every day going forward!”
“Stuck in a rut? Wheels spinning but going nowhere at work? Then trust me, Nina will help you! In January, I had no vision or motivation. In February, I started working with Nina. She helped me dig deep and be honest with myself. She helped me where I was holding myself back and how to re-ignite my passion. She gave me the tools to ask for what I want, so that both the company & I are happy. Wondering, is it worth it? It is! The promotion I received in October more than paid for the sessions with Nina. But the true benefits come from being so much happier at work and having the tools to keep me moving forward.”
“Nina Cashman is truly gifted. Everyone has the capacity to see the good in others, but it takes talent to help others see the good in themselves. Nina is genuine and emanates a warmth that immediately makes you feel as though you’ve been best friends for years. After your consultation, you’ll feel an internal certainty of her talent and passion for understanding people. Her approach to coaching is encouraging and supportive, rather than prescriptive and pragmatic. She is your personal growth and development wingman, both guiding and following you on your journey. Whatever you feel you need to work through or realize, Nina will get you there by helping you get yourself there.She helped me understand insecurities and negative thought patterns that were holding me back. After every session, I felt as though I’d lifted a huge rock, uncovering a shiny new layer of myself.As an entrepreneur, Nina helped me embrace the confidence and charisma needed to be successful. I am confident that whatever your goals and needs, Nina will get you there. Warning, her positive attitude is contagious! You’ll probably be glowing after your sessions.I couldn’t be happier with my experience and recommend Nina to the highest degree someone can be recommended.”
“Nina blew away all of my expectations. I had no idea how useful and important the kind of work she did with me could be. Total life-changer. Her coaching was practical and powerful. She keyed in on all the right signals, helped me dig down to the really big blockers in my life, and showed me how to take control of who I am in the world. And she did all this from a deeply compassionate and centered place in herself. I admire Nina. She’s an incredible force for good who, if you’re fortunate to know her, will steer you towards the path you’ve always wanted to walk down.”
“Nina has an amazing way of cheering you on while also giving you the kick in the ass that you need to make things happen. I was at a crossroads in my career and needed some concrete guidance on how to proceed with a number of big decisions. Nina coached me through what seemed like overwhelming obstacles while also leaving the overall choices in my hands. Was it easy? Definitely not. But do I have a plethora of tools to work with when more obstacles arise? You better believe it. I would recommend Nina to anyone who needs to get out of their own way and make big things happen in their career path.”
“Within minutes of my first conversation with Nina, I knew she was a truly gifted coach who would hold space for me and guide me through a major change in my life. Part of me was ready for this transformation. Yet, I was blocked and full of negative energy and limiting beliefs. I was stuck...personally and professionally. During each session with Nina, I was amazed at how quickly I was able to let go of these thoughts and beliefs that had been holding me back for years. She helped me take on new perspectives that were filled with positive energy. My time with Nina became the hour I most looked forward to each week. After each session I felt hopeful, light, motivated and ready to charge forward to the next step. The tools she uses to support her coaching are enlightening by themselves and incredibly powerful with the support of Nina’s intuitive feedback. Her business sense was also very important in helping me navigate my next steps. Nina’s style is calm, supportive and inviting, like your best friend. She’s also pragmatic. I valued her ability to ask the exact right question at the right time. Ultimately, she helped to hold me accountable and helped me feel like I could take on the world. And so I did!”
“Nina’s coaching sessions have been invaluable to me. In the past, a distorted self-image prevented me from identifying areas that warranted improvement - a major stumbling block in my leadership growth and development. Along the way there have been surprising (and sometimes painful) personal realizations, but Nina’s mentoring continues to make me a better person every day, both at work and at home. Nina did not hesitate to tactfully, but directly point out areas that needed to be considered a different way, and proved to be right 100% of the time with her observations and suggestions.I would recommend Nina for her ability to probe for what is really important, her ability to listen carefully and then provide suggestions for actions that were apparent but only became very clear after discussions with Nina and for her ability to stay focused on what is most important.”
“I had the good fortune to work with Nina Cashman at a time when several life events came together to create the perfect storm that stopped me dead in my tracks. As a coach myself, I knew I needed help. As a skilled coach, Nina facilitated the release of limiting beliefs and feelings, helped me shift perspectives and helped me let go of that which was keeping me stuck. In doing so, Nina helped me unleash my potential and move forward. Nina is compassionate, caring, creative, very intuitive and an amazing partner in getting you where you want to be.”
“As a business owner, I appreciated the exercises in Nina’s workshop that allowed us to focus our employee strengths into a vision for the company. It was a great way to allow us to see how we all contribute to the lager vision! As a manager, I definitely now have a better understanding of each team member and am already aligning to leverage their strengths. Thank you for this amazing workshop!”
“My coaching session with Nina was instrumental in restoring my confidence. She gave me the space to acknowledge the emotions I was feeling and fully express the struggles I was facing. She asked very insightful questions and fully listened to my responses, gently guiding me to uncover the underlying issues and helped me to discover what matters most to me in life. In just a short amount of time, Nina made me feel extremely comfortable to open up and I am eager to probe deeper to learn even more about myself and the journey I want to be on. I would highly recommend Nina as a career and life coach.”
“Nina’s guidance has helped me through the most challenging year for me - both professionally and personally. Through a series of candid conversations, she was able to help me understand the root cause of my challenges, and provided me with tools to develop solutions. She provided new perspectives that I wouldn’t have been able to see on my own.As a result of her guidance, I am a much stronger person in every aspect of life. I am a better mother and spouse at home, and I am a much more confident and effective leader at the office.”
“I approached Nina after feeling generally dissatisfied, and without any explanation as to why. I worked with Nina for multiple sessions and found the experience one of the most worthwhile things I’ve ever done. She helped me unearth a lot of stuff that was not serving me, yet still played a huge role in my daily life. After unearthing all that stuff, I feel like she helped me plant some new seeds. Where I was once lacking energy, I now feel I’m building on vast amounts of energy with a new approach to daily life. Now I feel my goals are more sharply focused and worthy. I also keep drawing back on our sessions, retrieving simple mental cues to help me through situations that, in the past, would have had me uneasy, pissed off, or stagnating. Working with Nina was nothing short of life changing and I recommend her coaching services to anyone who wants to take it to the next level (or five levels). Thanks Nina!”
“Working with Nina was a truly eye opening experience for me. I was referred to her by a few of her clients, and I’ll admit, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect going into our coaching sessions. But the insight, perspective and awareness I gained by working with her are invaluable in both my personal and professional life. I was challenged to identify my gremlins and fears, and address both while learning to focus on MY wants, needs and opportunities. She quickly clued into areas I disregarded, helped me deal with them and guided me toward uncovering the truth within myself. ”
“Working with Nina didn’t just help me address an immediate need - it also helped me develop long term solutions for how I manage stress and recognize negative energy. Nina partnered with me to transition into a new career by helping me recognize and understand my own internally set road-blocks, as well as how to move around them. How my own ego and insecurity get in my way, and how to learn to be patiently present and open to opportunities. Nina is a great combination of tough love and nurture. Nina’s business perspective doesn’t let her clients segment how they show up at work from how they show up at home. It’s one and the same, and how we show up at work can be career-limiting but often, the same behavior effects home life too. She does a great job of getting her clients to hold a mirror up to their behavior, as well as hold them accountable for their triggers and how they react. ”
“Each of Nina’s coaching sessions gives you a new outlook and peace of mind in a way that I never knew was possible through other forms of counseling I have received. Nina is great at probing for the important questions in a casual way that makes you feel you are just having a good conversation with a close friend, and with results far beyond what you could imagine. She has an amazing talent for bringing out the best in people and giving them the tools to adjust their way of thinking and/or their interactions to better their life. ”
