While working as a consultant at a Fortune 100 oil and gas servicer, she
led a marketing team to win the Houston Business Lantern Award, bringing
greater organizational cohesion to a recently acquired organization. With
her formidable years of experience in organizational change management
(OCM), organizational effectiveness and development, as well as cultural
integration and leadership alignment, Natalie’s enthusiasm for helping
people is evidenced not only by her abilities to consult, but in her
willingness to roll up her sleeves and work side-by-side with all levels
of people in and out of an organization.
Natalie has deep expertise as a coach and organizational
engagement/adoption consultant with over 25 years of experience ranging
from Fortune 500 companies to starry eyed start-ups. She has a reputation
for supporting her clients to drive towards optimal solutions, greater
efficiencies, increased revenues, and shared successes.
Passionate about accountability, Natalie hosted her own weekly radio
program for several years, dedicated to informing and inspiring her
audience to do more related to culture, politics, and philanthropy.
Natalie is also a sought-after speaker; inspiring grassroots activists
to become engaged and involved in their communities and government. In a
continued effort to engage and inform audiences, Natalie is a regular
panellist for NPR’s Houston Matters: The Good Bad and Ugly and through
her ongoing work with the PBS initiative DiverseCity, Natalie has provided
thought-provoking commentary and solutions directly related to the city
she loves, Houston, resulting in PBS recognizing her as a DiverseCity
Influencer.
Natalie’s work and positive outcomes for the individual, the community,
and the organization demonstrates the roles she so proudly embraces—leader,
mentor, advisor, and ultimately a catalyst for positive change. Natalie is
the author of “Embrace Resistance: How to Conquer Your Critics”, lifestyle
blogger for her consultancy’s blog, “In All Ways and Always, Natalie”, as
well as a contributor to Thrive Global.
Too many people believe they are defined by one or two parts of themselves, and they
concentrate on developing only those areas, while neglecting other important aspects
of themselves. But Natalie thinks the universe is big enough for all our facets to
shine if we allow them to, and that’s why she’s here – to encourage and support people
to expand their lives so they can fit all of themselves resulting in more productive
people who lead, manage, and engage better. She’ll always do this through her
consulting services offered, coaching, and now, the blog.
Since she’s definitely about more than one thing, the blog has no limits. She’ll be
chronicling her many different interests and inspirations, among them Politics, Travel,
Business, Spirituality, Food, Fitness, Fashion, and Family. You’ll meet her amazing
husband Martin and their two precious pups Missy and Layla, and follow as they explore
new ways to grow and develop and broaden their lives. And you won’t get a sugar-coated
version either; she’ll have courageous conversations about struggles and challenges,
mistakes made and lessons learned. If you’re ready to create enough space in your life
to fit your whole self, let’s dive in!
