“We all have to change constantly. And a lot of people say change is hard. It is, but it is much more achievable when you have Nadine Duong as your coach and mentor to be with you throughout the process.

After one year of coaching with Nadine, I found more balance in my work and home life. The higher I have risen in my organization, the more I find how important it is to have someone to talk to on the outside, for both – perspective and encouragement.

Sometimes you just need to talk it through to find the courage to make choices that benefit you, and your team – not just looking out for everyone else. In this process, she challenged me to stay true to my leadership style, pushed me to review my interactions with my peers, leaders and collaborators and made improvements in how I wanted and needed to engage with them. During all our coaching sessions I have highly appreciated Nadine’s capability to help me with real life business scenarios by first understanding the specific situation I was in (“putting herself into my shoes”) and then taking a step back and providing me with guidance from a more distant and neutral perspective driven by her business and coaching experience. What I liked most in these situations was Nadine’s ability to mirror and provide candid feedback. This approach now helps me in my daily business life when I am asking myself “What would Nadine recommend me to do”. I have come to regard Nadine as a valued friend as well as a thought partner, and I look forward to our continuing relationship. She is a real treasure.”
