There is one thing certain in this world, & that is that we all experience difficulties in one way or another. However, only the strongest know how to turn their weakest moments into their best strengths, & that is a virtue that Nadine undoubtedly has,

That strength to keep going even when everything doesn't seem to be so clear; she is a persevering, enterprising, intelligent woman & very capable of continuing to pursue her dreams & goals.

She has that virtue of seeing the positive side of things & proving to herself & to those who did not believe in her, that she is more capable of being happy & prosperous than ever before.

I have known Nadine Innes for over ten years. I met her at a time in her life when things weren't going so great.

I have found that no matter how bad things in life have gotten for her, she has always been able to see the positive side & had the ability to laugh & work through it. With her positive attitude, she has always been able to land on her feet & keep going while at the same time helping others. She is one of the strongest people I know.

She is one of my best friends who has always found the time for me & I have been able to talk to her about anything without feeling like I am being judged. Very little, if anything, shocks her; I know she would go out of her way to help anyone if she could. She loves to see people grow.

I am amazed at how far she has come & how much she has grown; she still continues to grow & push herself, considering all that she has been through.

She is naturally a friendly, genuine, good, kind-hearted person who deserves as much joy, love & happiness as she gives others.

I am extremely grateful to have Nadine as a valued friend.

Wendy

I have known Nadine in excess of 24 years. I am a personal friend of Nadine's & over the years, she has been extremely kind & supportive to me & many of her friends & family.

I have only ever known her to be someone who strives to do her best & care for herself & her independence. She has had some very tough situations to deal with in her life & has managed them with dignity & she should be very proud of herself.

She holds high integrity & is extremely honest & kind. A very hardworking person, she has always supported herself & strived to better herself personally & professionally.

Mark

I first met Nadine Innes when we worked together at Tower Australia (now TAL Services) in Sydney in 2001. I have kept in touch with her for the past 20 years. I have some wonderful memories of our friendship & working life at Tower. I lost touch with her for a while when she moved to Perth, but I renewed my friendship when she moved back to Sydney in early 2014.

During the time I have been associated with Nadine, I was able to develop a very sound friendship based on trust. Her loyalty & her really calm & resilient personality have definitely benefited our friendship. During the past two years, I have witnessed firsthand how she held up after a very painful operation; with no family around by her bedside, she still bounced back from the many ups & downs post-operation. But pain, trauma, & hardship during this time were not new to Nadine. The way she handled adversities during this time, with grace & acceptance, without a whimper or complaint, is what makes her so endearing.

Nadine is a very empathetic person, both personally & in business. She is a very caring & selfless person who is always ready to support & help her friends, without much regard to any personal cost to herself. She is non-judgmental, accepting & understanding the mistakes &/or failings of others.

Nadine is a very smart, sensitive & creative person & I witnessed this first-hand in business, where she was instrumental in making things happen on projects. She has a very inquiring mind & thinks outside of the square. She is also very goal-focused, always looking for solutions to a problem.

Over the years, I have gleaned a lot about Nadine’s past as a young lady & I admire the way she endured & overcame the adversities, trauma, & stress those years brought upon her as a youngster. It takes a very special person to overcome & win the “good fight” & be much stronger for it. I salute you, Nadine Innes. You are five-star all the way & a true friend.

John

I have known Nadine personally for over five years. I have found Nadine to be a person of integrity, honesty, tenacity & great strength. She is a warm-hearted, supportive & loyal friend.

She has an amazing passion for life & an interesting way of looking at life. She is an out-of-the-box thinker & remains positive even after all she has been through & had to endure.

Petra

Perseverance is a quality that resides at the core of Nadine's intrinsic nature. Nadine has drawn knowledge, insight, strength & a distinctive calmness that has all formed from her attitude to her life experiences. Each experience, instead of defeating her, confining her within fear or defining why she 'can't', has defined her strength of character, an individual who truly is extraordinary.

My life & my children's lives are richer for knowing Nadine. Unconditional support, acceptance, & the inspiration to know nothing is impossible & we are never alone is what we have gained from being a part of Nadine's life. Knowing no matter what, Nadine will walk beside us & be a part of our journey, embrace us for all we are, learn from us, guide, inspire & teach us are the qualities I've not often seen reside within so deeply, characterise them & endure.

Perseverance defines Nadine, what I admire the most, & where I draw inspiration & strength from.

To know Nadine is to understand what it truly means to persevere & never give up.

Vaughan

I have had the honour of having Nadine as a friend since we first met in high school in 1991. Nadine had transferred from Wanganui after recovering from a traumatic car accident.

What first struck me was how resilient & determined a person she is. However, after becoming friends & getting to know her better, her honesty, generosity, fierce loyalty, & genuine love & caring for other people really sums up her character.

Over the years, I have watched her travel to different countries, donate money & make space in her home to help others out. I have admired her willingness to stick by family & friends alike through thick & thin.

Over the last few years, Nadine has had several health challenges that have taken their toll; however, throughout, she has remained selfless & focused on the well-being of those she cares about.

She believes in the good of people, & because of this, expects that her natural honesty & generosity will be reciprocated. But Nadine’s family history has made it hard for her to cultivate healthy intimate relationships, & this expectation can sometimes be misplaced.

I believe in Nadine’s honesty wholeheartedly,& because of that, I trust her completely. I hope this letter will give you an idea of her good nature & an insight into her integrity.

Scarlett

I met Nadine when she asked me to do her branding & website for her; this meant I needed to understand a lot about her past, present & future. During these many months, I discovered what a strong, trusting & professional women Nadine to be. She is a ‘doer’ & will certainly never give up once she puts her mind to it.

Her vision is absolute in helping others & I wish her all the luck in the world to realise that vision to make a difference.

Rochelle (Rocky)

I have known Nadine Innes for over 30 years; we went to Saint Georges & Sacred Heart College together. We were probably the most unlikely two people to become best friends; when we first met, she was so quiet & reserved, yet we are the kind of best friends that don’t have to live in each other’s pockets but know we are there for each other no matter what. Through the years, we have had a lot of good times & she is considered part of the family.

When we were told about the accident & what had happened we were devastated & didn’t know if she would survive. She came out of it a different person, a lot stronger. She surprised us all with her determination, strength & positive attitude. She has never been a victim of the accident. Instead, she has made it a positive in her life.

She is definitely a unique person. She has a wacky sense of humour & a strong sense of self; she is honest as the night is long. She can be blunt & tells it like it is, to the point that sometimes it takes your breath away, yet you know it comes from a good place & means no harm. She never puts on airs & graces, being true to herself. She treats everyone, no matter who they are, as equals.

She has always gone out of her way to go that extra mile for people; she has a remarkable ability to make people feel special. She has never judged me & has always been there for me when I have reached out to her.

I have seen her developing & using the ‘Activ8 Your Life’ tool & concepts over the years & can see that we can all benefit from it. It strengthens you & helps you escape a dark hole so you don’t become a victim. You can see a more positive world.

I love her like a sister, & wish her all the best. She deserves to be happy & great things with everything she has gone through in life.

Gary

I have known Nadine Innes both personally & professionally for the last four years. I have found her to be honest, trustworthy & diligent during that time.

Professionally, she produces insightful work to schedule & to specification. She is respected by her peers & interacts well with her team members.

Personally, Nadine is friendly & outgoing. She makes friends easily & is resilient under challen circumstances. She is a loyal friend & shows great strength in crisis.

Nick

I have known Nadine for over ten years, & during this time, I have had ample opportunity to observe her character & personality in various settings & life situations. I have also seen how the trials she has been through over the last few years have made her a stronger, more resilient & focused person, both professionally & personally.

Nadine has always displayed a high degree of integrity, loyalty & empathy in her personal & professional life. She is a very caring, loving & selfless person who is always ready to support & help her friends & family, despite the personal & financial costs that this support has sometimes entailed. She is also a very forgiving & non-judgemental person who is very accepting & understanding of the mistakes & failings of others. Furthermore, despite her very high standards of integrity, she does not expect others to meet the same high standards of behaviour.

Nadine is a very smart, intuitive, sensitive & creative person with talents & skills in various areas & disciplines. She has a very inquiring mind & always tends to think outside of the square, both personally & professionally. She is also a very goal-focused person who always looks for solutions to a problem rather than the reasons why something cannot be done.

Nadine is a very strong, positive & resilient person who has coped with life situations over the last few years that would have crushed a weaker person. I have always been impressed & amazed by her ability to see the positive side of any situation & to keep on going despite the obstacles & personal costs. Rather than giving in, Nadine has emerged from these difficult situations even stronger & more determined than before to achieve the goals that she has set for herself.

Nadine is very outgoing, open-minded, positive & friendly, & does not judge people based on their background, age, financial status or life situation. She can also mix with people from all sorts of backgrounds & beliefs.

In summation, Nadine is an amazing & inspiring person & a very loyal friend.

David

I have known Nadine for over 14 years; Nadine worked for me as part of the program team to deliver a major transformation & performance improvement program. Working within the program office, her core responsibility was the development of quality deliverables from the program.

She delivered high-quality work & was a delight to have as a member of the team. She takes great pride in & responsibility for the quality of her work, consistently seeks ways to add additional value & has a naturally inquisitive nature. Her dedication to the task was admirable, as was her ability to retain a sense of humour throughout.

Key strengths exhibited include results orientation, pride in delivery, robustness, & balance.

Taryn

I first met Nadine 10 years ago as a client of the eye clinic at Sydney Eye Hospital. We instantly connected & became friends.

Nadine has this zest for life & a passion for taking others to the next level. With her fighting spirit, nothing could take her down, regardless of what she has been through on her journey. It hasn't been easy; there have been many tough moments & yet she pulls through each time.

To see her living out her dreams & fulfilling her purpose is such a blessing for this woman who can now show the world that anything is possible.

What an honour it is to call you my friend.

Ashliegh

My aunty has always been a very understanding, compassionate & loving role model to me.

I have looked up to her since I was young; she was always ‘the cool aunty’ I could talk to about anything & have fun with. Now that I am older, she is my go-to girl if I have a problem because she is so loving & understanding & I know she will never judge me. I have always looked up to & admired the strength she has shown throughout all she has been through.

Like my mum (her sister), she is the strong, independent, beautiful woman I hope to be when I am older. I have always seen my aunty as being strong & successful, & I am & always will be proud to be her niece.
