A Note from Natalie
my background
I’ve felt passionate about cultivating authentic leadership since my in-house days leading Learning & Development teams for high-growth multi-billion dollar global companies. Since branching off in 2018 to work independently, I’ve provided over 2,000 hours of coaching to more than 150 incredible leaders and changemakers, created 100+ custom-built workshops and training programs for 30+ organizations, personally facilitated 5,000+ hours of training, rolled out dozens of new corporate Talent and Performance initiatives, co-founded an enterprise software company, taught a leadership development course at a NYC university for four semesters, and led large distributed teams.
In my personal time, I am an abstract painter, fitness-enthusiast, and world-traveler (although now with two children under three years old, I’m no longer exploring 22 cities a year the way I did in 2019 and no longer running marathons). These life experiences have added important perspective to the way I understand and support leaders with varying lifestyles.
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY WORK
It’s easy to assume that visionary entrepreneurs, business owners, seasoned executives, and others in positions of leadership have all the answers. Yet, especially for people who identify as self-starters, confident, and successful, it’s common to experience overwhelm, stress, and imposter syndrome.“We don’t know what we don’t know” holds true for all of us.
While training provides you with new information and tools, coaching equips you with the self-efficacy and resilience to powerfully address your knowledge-skills gaps. By supporting you to strengthen your authentic leadership skills, we are together fostering an environment where innovation can thrive — that excites me and feels important.
WHy I OFFER BOTH Training AND Coaching: the roi
Over the years I have observed how critical a supportive environment truly is when it comes to enhancing performance. When teams share a mutual vision, believe that their work is intellectually challenging, and feel valued for their unique talents and contributions, they are better equipped to effect powerful change. Cultivating this environment requires the simultaneous adoption of an individualized approach to uncovering culture threats and opportunities, as well as a systemic approach to creating sustainable behavioral change. I coach individual entrepreneurs and teams alike following this approach, so that your results are both powerful and enduring.
When I learned that training alone increases productivity by 22%, but that training in combination with coaching increases productivity by 88%, I began to feel strongly that coaching should be made more accessible, to create an even greater impact for people and organizations. A study conducted by PWC found that coaching yields a median ROI of seven times the initial investment, and that over a quarter of coaching clients reported ROI valued between ten to forty-nine times the cost.
Coaching expands your leadership abilities, decision-making skills, and resilience so that you’re better equipped to thrive under pressure and prioritize what truly matters as you increase performance and profit, maximize community impact, and create a values-oriented business culture that brings you joy and fulfillment.
why i believe in Custom-fit Solutions
I know that your skills, goals, and challenges are unique, and believe that your action plan should be custom-designed. That’s why I start off every engagement with an intensive roadmap session to outline the unique goals and key metrics you expect to achieve together. My extensive training and certification in the Core Energy Coaching™ methodology and the Energy Leadership™ Index assessment tool allow me to intimately understand people’s beliefs, behaviors, and leadership capabilities, and to create a custom-fit solution for you. Within weeks of working together, you will begin to create lasting change in your business, community, and life.
