About Me - My Biography

Hi, I’m Nada Matijevic. I’m a Career Consultant and the founder of Elevate Me.

I work with business owners, professionals and executives who want to overcome their career and workplace challenges and more importantly, who want to empower themselves to be true to their best selves and to take control of creating a more thriving career and life.

2015 was a pivotal point in my life, when a desire to be true to myself, my values and purpose led me to make my most significant career change and to creating my Elevate Me career consulting business. It meant leaving a well-established and successful career in the professional services and corporate world and going solo, so as not to have to compromise what I truly valued.

My unique combination of naturally right-brained, creative, intuitive and innovative strengths and learned technical skills and experience, enable me to bring a unique and powerful coaching and mentoring experience through a well-structured, comprehensive and effective Elevate My Career Program.

I’m a member of the Career Development Association of Australia and am an active member of CPA Australia, with a Bachelor of Business Studies in Accounting and am MBTI Personality Type and Strong Interest Inventory certified. After more than 30 years working in professional services and corporate environments, I’ve gained some valuable insights into workplace challenges and diverse industries, workplaces and work cultures.  I’ve always been curious about what makes people tick and how they can tick better, individually and collectively.

I’m passionate about empowering others to discover who they really are and what they’re capable of so they can set a clear direction and make well-aligned, purpose-led decisions with conviction. But what really excites me is being a part of the bigger journey to thriving lives and careers, supporting them to strategically implement their plans and achieve their own personally meaningful successes.

My Passions

I’m passionate about debunking the myth that to succeed we must mold ourselves to fit in and give away our power to external forces to determine our future.

I believe that success starts within and that true success means being true to ourselves, our needs, values, interests and purpose.

My passion is to help others discover their unique genius, purpose and their own version of success in order to take control of charting the path for a life they will love and can thrive in.

I am at my happiest when I can help others by:

·       Connecting the dots to help them see perspective, possibility and hope for the future

·       Exploring and applying new ideas; applying creative, original, outside the box thinking to solve problems

·       Appreciating their uniqueness and drawing out the best in them

·       Acting as a sounding board, developing ideas and insights

·       Helping them to adapt to change and see and seize opportunities from challenges

 

My Interests

Connecting with family, friends and nature.

Exploring new countries and cultures.

Meeting and connecting with people whose values and interests resonate.

Collaborative groups and activities.

Learning and sharing new ideas.

Seeing things through a new lens and exploring new possibilities.
