I lost my job, and it was hard navigating a new chapter in my life. Coaching with Nadine helped me gain the confidence back that I lost in my previous job. I believed in myself again and that helped me excel in my interviews. I landed my dream job with an amazing company!
When Nadine and I started coaching, I didn’t like my job or my manager. My job was at risk because of a reorganization. I was feeling very down and lost in both my career and personal life. I also used to self-sabotage, and it got to where I was doing it every day and did not even realize it. The inner critic in me was taking over my whole life. I was often stressed and anxious. What I like best about working with Nadine is she made me dig deep to understand the cause of the issue or feeling I was going through. She challenged me to think differently and changed the way I looked at things. She helped me understand myself better. I’m now more aware of my inner critic and can catch myself going down that rabbit hole and can shift my mindset.
Overall, I am so much happier, more comfortable, and more confident in myself. I definitely would recommend Nadine’s coaching to anyone!

Nadine has a wealth of experience working with various groups of people and she is able to provide appropriate guidance based on the current situation of her client.
She is warm, caring, sincere, practical, patient, and understanding. She is trustworthy and is able to work under pressure to provide outstanding results.
Moreover, she has a diverse background of working in both the United States and Asia. I feel blessed to have Nadine as a coach and a ‘big sister’ at Roche. Her caring nature and her wisdom have helped me through the chopping water in my career and her continued support makes me a stronger person! Her presence makes a difference in my life. I recommend Nadine to those who need a coach to help them work on career and life challenges; and need a listening ear and a helping hand to process and gain clarity on future direction to meet both personal and professional goals in their life.

Life-Changing’ and ‘Cathartic’ are what I would use to describe my coaching experience with Nadine. I worked with her during the most challenging stage of my life – losing a parent due to a heart attack and misdiagnosis. She helped me get through my grief, re-evaluate my purpose in life, build resilience and find a sense of belonging. She also helped me discover my potential and learn how to take care of myself. She was extremely personable, passionate, trustworthy, patient, and always encouraging.
Nadine has a sincere respect for humanity and the ability to connect with clients quickly and be able to work with them at whatever stage they’re in. She is a calm, pragmatic and intelligent person with a natural flair and qualities of both a coach and a leader. I highly recommend Nadine to anyone who is looking for a life and career coach.

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.

I consider myself very lucky to have Nadine as my coach. I honestly don’t think I could have gotten through some of the toughest times of my life without her guidance. The visualization exercises helped me get to the bottom of the challenges I was facing. The personal values assessment helped me understand my values and sense of self-worth. Nadine’s coaching also provided the space for me to reflect and discover my authenticity and to embrace my strengths. I used to let others walk all over me. Now I’m able to draw my boundaries. I no longer experience the guilt that I used to whenever I take care of my needs. I’m now a more confident person.
As a coach, Nadine is very pleasant, patient, and engaging. I’m grateful for the positive impact she has on my life.

I recommend Nadine as a leadership and career coach. In my case, I met Nadine in terms of a local Mentoring project we have initiated for our trainees. Nadine was willing to share her knowledge and experience and she helped me to further develop my communication skills, in order to be more helpful as a mentor to my mentee. Nadine very quickly helped me to identify and address my concerns. She has a great ability to help people figure out what it is that really motivates them, and drives them to build on their strengths and activate their passion!
