    — Workshop Participant (Business Analyst Consultant)

  • "We asked Nadja to come into our office and deliver a workshop to help the team learn to disagree with each other in a respectful manner, and also teach the staff valuable skills in order to work more closely together and put the past behind them. Nadja provided a number of techniques and communication methods to both prevent and also diffuse the tension in situations as they saw it arising. The team were given the tools across a number of communication mechanisms to improve their ability to work as a team, and we definitely saw a positive impact and spike in more collaboration between peers who previously were unable to work together. Nadja was very respectful in her delivery of the session and was also kind enough to provide valuable insight for managers to better manage both their employees, as well as situations, after the session.”

    — Former Client (Project Manager at IT firm)

  • “I have attended a session created for our team by Nadja. Nadja is a flexible and intuitive facilitator who shaped the training to what we needed and wanted to spend more time on during the session. She provided everyone with practical tools to help recognise and deal with stress and anxiety in the daily workplace. The delivery to the team gave a forum to express opinions and provide an opportunity for the team to be on the same page regarding what may work for some when dealing with stress. The introduction of different perspectives was invaluable to understand and support our colleagues. Nadja was able to put the participants at ease, and regardless of their background or preconceptions and provide each and everyone at least one practical solution they wanted to take away and implement. I would not hesitate to recommend Nadja’s services to anyone looking for genuine, authentic and professional services in the workplace for stress management and well-being of employees.”
