Nina dives into today’s mental health battle with how we compare ourselves to others, define success and find balance. An engaging storyteller, Nina shares her journey of success in the highest levels of sport, television and corporate America and opens up about her painful public failures along the way.

Through stories, analogies, big data, psychology, and stoic philosophy, Nina transforms audiences so they are ready to take on the world and create their own future success.
For Leaders dealing with Change Examples: reorg, security issue, leadership team alignment, acquisition, product failure, missed quarter
As a leader, you’re writing your own success story, you’re integral to your company’s success story, AND you’re a character in the stories of the people around you. When you are a leader, you must make decisions that affects others. Sometimes that means you become the villain in someone’s story. Nina takes leaders and leadership teams on a journey of self-discovery into the role they play in other people’s stories and how they show up when things don’t go as planned. Tapping into her own failures, 10+ years on a leadership team, and crisis management best practices, she shares her Four C’s, to ensure “the character you portray is aligned with your character”.
For Teams needing to click into a new gear Examples: new team, bad culture, unwanted attrition, or teams that just want to get even better
When teams don’t work well together or skillsets are lopsided, productivity drops, and it can be a culture crusher. The key to getting teams to work at the highest level is getting each person engaged, feeling seen, and valued. What better way to do that than with a little fun that uncovers meaningful insights along the way. Using superhero analogies and psychology, Nina and her team tap into each person’s personality traits and strengths. This interactive session uncovers how each person shows up when things go well and when things go wrong. Even on the best teams, things don’t always go as planned.
Collaboration is more than just being on the same page; it is about recognizing each person’s strengths and how they play a role in the whole team’s success. When you are part of a team and things change or don’t goes planned, what character do you play? Are you the hero, the sidekick, the witness, or maybe the villain? How do your strengths and skills fit in? Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? teammates learn:
- How they handle adversity
- How their ‘adversity style’ fits into the team
- Which superhero they align with (for you purists - WARNING: we mix Marvel and DC!)
- Top traits of a good teammate
