Bio

2011-03-01T14:58:00.003-08:00

“When your economic value is from the neck up, you cannot afford to run around like a ‘headless chicken’!”

Nadine Hill is a time management expert; entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker, business owner, blogger and ‘hands on’ mum of two. What she doesn’t know about time management, organisation and multi-tasking just isn’t worth knowing and her favourite saying is that ‘if you want to learn about time management, just ask a modern working mum!’

Nadine is passionate about getting things done, but also about ‘having a life’, believing that there are better ways to spend time than constantly in the service of others - so her strategies are about satisfying the commitments whilst having fun, moving forward and learning something new. Nadine manages to juggle a lot each day and believes that anyone can do it too if they want to, but she’s not a robot or a stern taskmaster – far from it. She’s just a highly driven, organised mum with a business oriented mind who makes the most of every second – and can show others how to do the same.

Her company, The Dream PA began in April 2005 with just £50 working capital, a great idea and a bucket-load of passion. Since then, it has grown to support hundreds of UK SMEs with their telephone answering enabling them in turn to increase business, and The Dream PA has also helped other Virtual Assistants to expand their service offering and make more money through a Reseller opportunity.

Using writing skills gained in her former career in fashion and consumer PR, Nadine achieved ‘Best Seller’ status when her first book, ‘The Virtual Assistant Handbook’ went to the #1 slot for business books on the global website Amazon, on launch day. Nadine's second non-fiction book, a time management guide for writers, bloggers and infopreneurs is out now on Amazon. She also writes regularly as a columnist for At Home Magazine, the UK premier celebrity and lifestyle magazine.

Nadine uses fresh business thinking and practical know how to help her audiences manage their time better, with a masses of handy hints thrown in for good measure. She has a business following on the micro blogging site Twitter where she is known as ‘Businessmum’ and she speaks directly to business groups about enterprise and being a mumpreneur. She was an Enterprise UK Ambassador for four years and represented the UK at a launch of the European Network of Female Ambassadors in Sweden!

Her blog ‘Juggle Mum' is observed by mums both in the UK and America, who come back regularly to read about ‘how to juggle without dropping the baby’!

In a business context to be more productive and work efficiently, attitudes often need transforming, old habits need to be broken and a fresh new mindset learned and applied to create advantageous situations. Where there are problems there are often hidden profits and the practical application of time management principles can help to unlock them. In ‘real life’ this all sounds very mechanical, but applying these same techniques can transform lives and help people achieve their dreams. Nadine’s strategies are tried and tested, easy to implement and tailored to each situation and can help the most disorganised person to start to turn their day around. Ambitions aren’t achieved without action, and the most cited barrier people use as their excuse for staying stuck is lack of time. We all have 24 hours – it’s how we use them that counts. Nadine can show how to make the best of the hours you have.

A firm believer in ‘living like you mean it’, Nadine has a long list of ambitions to fulfil and has already crossed some off the list such as appearing on TV game shows, running a business and studying at the London College of Fashion. She is still actively working towards many other aspirations such as having a hot tub in her garden, bringing out a range of organisational products for busy women, working with companies with a female audience as a brand ambassador and appearing on Loose Women!

Nadine founded JUGGLISTA® by Nadine Hill in 2009 with a vision of building the first media and content company focused on lifestyle management and personal development for busy working women. The Jugglista brand will become a lifestyle champion for career minded mums, busy girls, women with multiple roles and fabulous females everywhere to aggregate content and provide suggestions and resources to help them run their hectic lives.

For a high energy speaker with natural warmth, approachability, passion and a ridiculous obsession with time management, contact Nadine to discuss availability. She has a jam packed schedule but the beauty of her meticulous nature is that being strict with how she spends her time makes her schedule flexible for projects that take her fancy! A quick chat costs nothing and could spark off some great ideas.

She offered me support as a newbie and I can honestly say that her advice was invaluable. My working relationship with Nadine since then had proven her to be as intelligent, professional, warm and supportive as she appeared to be at that first meeting. She truly walks her talk and I would strongly recommend her in any business capacity."

Just wish she was based in London! ;)”

(My watch is black with a diamond skull & crossbones on it!)

What Friends Say...

Here is what Nadine's friends think of her!

"Nadine is one of those friends that will listen to your problems and have an exceptionally great answer, something that only she could ever think of. She's one in a million, with time for everyone even though her life is so busy. She makes me endlessly giggle, she motivates me when I'm down, and most of all she's just lovely!"
Rachel McAlley, (friend since the mid-noughties)

"Nadine is unique, she has an extra ordinary mix of being an organised, focused professional, with a fun loving individual who loves life, her family and friends. Nadine is genuine, she is great to be around and offers sound advice, without the flower, but with a huge smile and the offer of support. I am always amazed by how much energy Nadine has, she lights up rooms and people."
Anne Dowle, (friend since 2006)

"I have known Nadine for about four years. We meet up every six weeks, as part of a group of friends who share a common interest in personal and professional development. Nadine always has some new project or exciting news to share whether it be a magazine article in which she features a TV show she is appearing in or a book she is just about to publish!

I have always been impressed by Nadine’s organisational skills, creativity, energy and sense of fun. Nadine is constantly looking way for ways to move forward in her business and family life, and I know that when we next meet up she will have lots to say and all of it will be positive. She is the most bubbly person I know!"
Catherine G, (Friend since 2006)

"I wanted to thank you very much for being one of many who has supported and encouraged me at a time when I was unsure of what I wanted to achieve, it's thanks to people like you that allows me to make a difference in the world. Keep doing what you are doing girl, you rock!"
Michelle, friend since 2010

Where Do You Know Me From?

2011-03-01T01:53:00.000-08:00

When a business contact sends me an email and I don't remember their name, I often wonder where I met them or how they got my details to email me!

So in case you are wondering where you met me, it could have been one of the following:

Face to face networking (mainly in Yorkshire): The Business Network (Leeds); BNI; Forward Ladies; Business Link WIN Network (this is no longer active); Bacon & Eggs Entrepreneurs; LunchNet; Thirsty Thursday; WiRE

Online networking: LinkedIn; Twitter (@Businessmum); Facebook; UK Business Labs; Brit Mums (formerly British Mummy Bloggers)

Through my writing: My At Home Magazine column, articles I've done for www.MyFamilyClub.co.uk or my books which sell on Amazon

Through my speaking: As an Enterprise UK Ambassador (I was invited to 10 Downing Street through this role); for Business Link; For the European Launch of Female Enterprise Ambassadors (this was a speaking engagement I did in Stockholm); Professional Speaking Association; Toastmasters

Did this jog your memory? ...Or maybe I have left something off- let me know!
