How to Pronounce "Szewczak"
Graham found it less than easy at first to master the right pronunciation of Nina's surname "Szewczak". Think Chef Chack.

Easy for you to say!
The Early Years
Nina left Poland 14 years ago. She took a 24-hour bus to London. In Poland, Nina gave up studying Environmental Protection Engineering, because it wasn't where her passion was. Instead, she hopped on a bus, with the intention of taking up law. It was the absence of money and connections, which put paid to that dream too.

The one thing Nina did need was to be able to speak English. Her intention was to stay for a few months, but it's been 14 years to date. Her English is probably better than her Polish she claims.

She remains eternally grateful to KFC who gave her a job. Nina couple this with afternoon English lessons and finished her KFC shifts at 2am. Another English mastery technique was watching films and putting subtitles on. She also bought a 500 page book and translated every word. Determination, that!
Nina Loves Learning
She progressed to be a manager with a different company. She pitched in at LEVEL 5, Diploma level. Deep end studying. Afterwards, Nina completed level 7 and Chartered Manager. Currently, Nina is studying Level 7 HR with CIPD.

A qualification treadmill. A learning mindset. All done to provide awareness that what she does day to day is right.

She has been working for a Cosmetics company for 13 years. As Nina progressed, she discovered a passion for leadership, management and developing people.
A Mentoring Mindset

Nina helps people get clear on things
She explains that the internet is a massive source of information for business entrepreneurs. But, it's also overwhelming. Nina helps by assessing the progress her clients have made. Then, she looks for the gaps. She removes the noise to help focus on pain-points and break things down to a step by step process.

Does Nina use a timescale?
