What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
We teach our students not only how to start a business and manage it but also how to actually do the role of a social media manager. Most other courses teach about social media but not from A to Z; we go into depth on how to use the tools and execute the job. Nadine also still practices what she teaches; she still takes on social media clients to ensure that her students get the best, most up-to-date knowledge, not just generic content.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most critical thing for me as a coach is never to stop learning and working with other coaches. I have my coach and also am always attending some sort of group coaching program to see other coaches in action - this is a great way to learn. Having my own personal coach has been invaluable to me for my personal growth and my business growth because alone, you won’t see your blind spots.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

No matter what way you come into a session with me you will go out the confidence and determination to reach the goals that have been agreed upon.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing is that I don’t offer a generic, one size fit all approach. I work on a very detailed level with all clients, which each getting a very bespoke service from me. I learn the best way they work and coach them in that way to ensure long term & short term goals are met.
