Leaders
Leadership is both a privilege and a burden. With increased seniority comes greater scrutiny, critique, and judgement. It can be lonely navigating tensions and trade-offs; impossible to meet everyone´s expectations.
Over the past 20+ years, I have coached hundreds of leaders to develop the resilience, courage, and emotional regulation to be less reactive under pressure and maintain meaningful relationships under stress. Less likely to be buffered by external forces/events/people, leaders build their confidence to take principled actions and decisions.
My coaching does not focus on tools or techniques but aims to foster leadership longevity by exploring the unconscious internal forces driving behaviour. The aim of the coaching is to create the space and awareness to shift from habitual responses to ‘response-ability’.
I have engaged Natalie’s support on 3 separate occasions over the past 8 years as I have journeyed further into understanding myself and how I process information, relationships, and situations in a dynamic and changing world and workplace. Natalie is insightful and accurate and she has helped me to recognise my areas of mental strength and resilience as well as the spaces I struggle with and how to structure my thoughts and responses using conversations, reference material and tools that are simple and practical.

Testimonials
Natalie’s ability to gently adapt her coaching style and sessions to me to meet my changing needs, growing confidence levels and evolving emotions, not only supported me to find my inner executive confidence again but also helped me become comfortable with who I am and how I contribute to a complex workplace environment.
Natalie is without doubt the best personal investment decision I have ever made. I cannot thank her enough for helping me gain control and confidence over my professional life. This has in turn created enormous happiness in my personal life. I couldn’t recommend Natalie highly enough.

As with all coaches, Natalie has a specific style – this style very much matched my aims for the coaching; aiming to focus on the ‘whole’ of me & how this could translate to positive changes in my work / life. Natalie has a calm, friendly style – with diverse, comprehensive knowledge / experience that allows her to flex depending on the need.
- Managing Director / CEO, Corporate Education Industry
Interviewing for a new role back at head office and relocating there after spending seven years offshore was a daunting task, especially while working through the family stress that came with it. As well as helping me recognize the leadership behaviours I needed to focus on and improve, Natalie worked with me to unpack my past in order to identify why these were areas of weakness. Only then, was I able to strengthen them which increased my confidence and, helped me successfully navigate this critical transitional point in my career and personal life. Working with Natalie was more than leadership coaching, it was life changing. Natalie helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself so that I could unlock potential that previously I didn’t know existed.
