I highly recommend Nina… She has proven to be an engaged and passionate member of any organization she supports. I met Nina while working as a Director of Business Process Improvement at American Express. She immediately showed her passion for Organizational Development work and became the change management leader on the team. Nina supported me in several key areas, including: project management support for an extensive CMMI benchmarking project that identified over $200 Million of savings by restructuring software development processes.

Nina co-facilitated process modeling workshops for the development of Hewlett Packard’s Global Marketing Enterprise Architecture. Through these workshops HP realized a conservative $67 Million save in operating expenses within the first year.

Before the summit my team was resisting the need to change. They were confused about their larger impact. They were thinking as individual contributors now they know how we will move forward at a national level. I’ve been more authentic in my leadership since the summit. My vision and the team expectations are aligned.

Nina Segura is exceptional! I had the distinct pleasure of working with her as an executive coach when she significantly helped me improve the performance of one of my senior leaders. Nina maintained an open and constructive working relationship with both the leader and me. Nina’s professionalism, adherence to radical accountability, and exceptional communication skills built growing trust and faith in this coaching.

On behalf of the leader and me, thank you so much, Nina!

Nina has done a phenomenal job of moving our team to the next level and teaching us how to work together as foxhole buddies. By building confidence and respect in our interpersonal relationships we are now a real team and will be much more productive.

Two members of my Management Team and I worked with Nina and what really sets her apart from other coaches I’ve worked with in the past is developing a customized roadmap for each member of the team- she does a number of assessments (both formal questionnaires/surveys and informal interviews) to truly understand what each Exec needs to work on and then develops a game plan to accomplish those objectives.  She possesses all the key qualities I look for in a coach- honesty (sometimes brutal honesty), compassion and a desire to truly make her clients the best executive he or she can be. At the start of Nina’s engagement with me and my team, I viewed her as a vendor… a year later I view her more as a part of my team (she would use the word “crew”)… 

As a business leader, I always have Nina…. at the top of my mind, when I need clarity and alignment, helping me become a better leader, and build my own dream team. I have recently participated on her Executive Round Table (Mastermind) Program, and could not more satisfied with the results obtained.

Since my team started to work with Nina, we have seen a significant break in the roadblocks that were in our way. 

Nina was instrumental in providing me with a sounding board for strategic decision making. She also helped me identify skills I did not know I had – and help me tap into talents to motivate and lead for results. Nina helped me navigate the challenges my organization is facing while understanding my role and how I am part of the solution. I now feel part of a team that will move the company forward and in the right direction.  I strongly recommend Nina as an Executive Coach. She is a careful listener, incredibly effective in helping you identify what is important, and has an innate ability to help you stay focused on what is most important – to yourself – and the Company as a whole.

Nina inspires the high-potential to become the high-performing. A skilled and tough sherpa on your climb, Nina will hold you accountable to greatness within yourself. Whether guiding you through doubt or provoking humility when ego obstructs growth, Nina becomes a voice in your mind as you fight for your well-deserved success. As a builder of powerful crews, Nina will expand your network of influencers exponentially.

Nina is one of a kind. I worked with Nina at American Express and have stayed in contact with her ever since. She is extremely professional, yet touches you on a personal level with her understanding and caring for you as a professional. Your success is her goal, and she is one of the best I have met at making sure what you want to achieve is successful

As an entrepreneur and business owner, I really valued how Nina was able to help me see how my business and personal qualities are integrated; I learned how frequently improvement in one area resulted in the betterment of the other. For my personal preference, I felt that Nina struck the perfect balance between being progressive and thinking outside the box, while still leveraging the practicality that her corporate background lent to the situation. Nina is encouraging and compassionate, but also didn’t shy away from challenging me when I needed to be held accountable to myself. I recommend contacting Nina for a sample session and you can see for yourself whether she is the right fit for you.

Nina coached me through a difficult job transition a few years ago. She displayed an uncanny ability to bring clarity to my own thoughts. Through her probing and exercises, I was able to distill what I wanted to do, and what I needed to do in terms of a career, and that knowledge brought my confusion and stress to a manageable level. Nina uses her business background in analysis, change management and process thinking and applies it to life situations – where you are, where you want to be, and how best to get there. Her focus on the “getting there” is to use your own resources and creativity.  It’s difficult to find an ally who will both support you and challenge you. Nina does both in a friendly and professional manner. I highly recommend her as a coach.

Nina Segura is a very talented coach! She has an in-depth knowledge of the techniques of co-active coaching plus an intuitive ability to hone in on what is really going on. She is awesome and amazing….And lots of fun to be around!

Nina is one of the best consultants I worked with. She is highly analytical and able to recommend a path to success even in a very difficult situation. Nina showed me and my organization a way to multiply the bottom line in a highly effective way. I was amazed by Nina’s professional attitude and how fast she could undertake and deliver a very detailed analysis and present it in a very insightful way.

Nina tailors her methodologies in exceptional and unique ways to bring value to her clients and their staff. I was very fortunate to have worked with Nina and highly recommend her in every way.

I have worked with Nina for over two years…She constantly pushes the envelope, always trying another way until success is attained. She is creative and innovative in her idea generation and applies critical and strategic thinking to all situations. She is not only an advocate of the five disciplines of organizational learning but has astute competences from a systems perspective in each (systems thinking, shared vision, team learning, mental models and personal mastery). Great team player and fun to work with – a real energizer bunny!

While with American Express, Nina and her team received the Chairman’s Premier Tier 1 Award for mapping the technical requirements for the Dispute Handling System.   The net effect of Nina’s efforts was an estimated savings of $10M dollars a year.

I was impressed that Nina and her team took full responsibility; not as a contractor or temporary help. They put in time and effort above what was expected of a coach or trainer, staying late or starting meeting early, if necessary.  They made the relationship easy by developing a good rapport with both the client and employees.

Nina helped me focus my team on our customer experience! In an internet world, you have to be ready to create an “ah ha” moment whenever the customer calls which is not that often these days. now we are focused on the customer not on our processes and we are enjoying our interactions even more! Thank you Nina Segura, MA
