NINA AS A LEADER
My leadership philosophy is to harness collective intelligence, ensuring everyone contributes to success and growth. Together, we win; together, we learn. There's no zero-sum game.
Leadership is not about being in charge; it's about taking care of those in your charge.
Great leaders empower others to realise their potential and inspire them to achieve beyond what they thought was possible.
The future of leadership is increasingly collaborative, diverse, and adaptive, leveraging technology to foster connection.
When I think of a leader, I think of someone who guides by example of integrity, inspires trust, and brings out the best in those around them.
LEADERSHIP EMPOWERS FUTURE LEADERS THROUGH DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY, AND CONTINUOUS LEARNING. EMBRACE ALL POSSIBILITIES WITH COURAGE.

NINA ON EMPOWERING FUTURE LEADERS THROUGH MENTORSHIP AND DIVERSE EXPERIENCES
Empowerment starts with self-compassion. As a mother of a special needs child, Iโve learned the importance of balancing care and wish for my child and the vision I want to bring to fruition, for myself. Courage is vital โ by leading with openness and adjusting to challenges, one can set a powerful example. Each journey, though unique, demonstrates that difficulties can be surmounted. Remember, your power extends beyond the walls of your home and beyond your own skin, we can undo, redo, unlearn and relearn, inspiring growth and leadership in all areas of our life.
NINA ON BALANCING PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE WITH RESILIENCE
Setbacks in career or entrepreneurial journey are inevitable, but they donโt define our path. Embrace the power of making small, consistent pivots. Each minor adjustment can lead to significant progress over time. Trust that these small changes in the process will guide you toward greater version of yourself and your dream
FACING CHALLENGES WITH HUMILITY AND A 'STUDENT AGAIN' MINDSET, I LEAD BY EXAMPLE, SHOWING OTHERS THAT GROWTH, NOT PERFECTION, IS KEY.
