Coaching and related Programmes

"When I started working with Natalia, I could not see how my business idea would ever generate income, and the people around me were not contributing in the way I needed. We set clear goals in the first session and spent eight weeks sharpening what they actually meant. Life kept happening in between, which turned out to be the point: I had plenty of chances to practise the commitments I had made and to catch myself repeating the same unhelpful patterns. Natalia helped me work through those rather than around them.

The practical result was structure. I changed how I engage collaborators, which made it obvious which partnerships were worth continuing and which were not."
Sarah Morgan, Earthlight CEO | Nano-Lit Founder

"If I knew someone looking for a coach I would recommend you saying that you are a reliable, positive, and friendly coach. I would stress the fact that you communicate clearly and that you accompany your clients following the Socratic method, meaning that you push the person working with you to express thoughts, fears, and deep desires to make them reach some relevant conclusions on their own.

You don't meet them with raedy-made solutions, but you accept the challenge to embark on a journey together, navigating in sometimes unexplored territories.

In my specific case we went from “I wish I could change my professional situation” going throught the intermediate state “there are things at my workplace I don't want to happen anymore” to finally reach the conclusion “I want my life values to be at the core of I do for a living”.

I believe this was an empowering, eye-opening process you led me through."
Elisa Agosti

"If you want to change the direction of your (working) life, and have no idea where to go, and how to get started - Natalia, through her program, will help you greatly to set sails in the right direction. Authentic, unconventional, smart, and getting you to think hard. Just what you need in that situation!"
Former Client

"I would definitely recommend working with Natalia to anyone who is looking for more clarity and confidence in their career or personal development.

Natalia creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment while also asking thoughtful questions that challenge your thinking and help you see new perspectives. I finished the coaching feeling much more confident about the steps I was taking and better equipped to move forward in my career."

Trainings & Webinars

"Natália delivered the workshop 'Building Your Mental Fitness' to our staff members, a multicultural group of academic and professional staff members of diverse age groups. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Natália on this.

Not only did she deliver an engaging and well-prepared, interactive session, she also actively supported us in finding and designing a suitable topic, covering various interests. Her flexibility, support and proactiveness made the preparation and organisation, as well as the post-workshop evaluation, a very smooth and easy-going process.

She strikes the perfect balance between sharing her expertise and knowledge, and being able to customise and create something that fits with your organisation's needs."

"I highly recommend Natália Leal as an outstanding speaker for training and workshops focused on cross-cultural understanding and communication. During the recent 'Bridging Cultural Difference' online workshop, which I attended [and co-organised] through Lean In NL, Natália delivered an exceptional experience that deepened my understanding of cultural dynamics and offered practical strategies for intercultural connection.

[…] As the speaker in a diverse, mixed-nationality group, Natália created a welcoming and inclusive virtual space that encouraged meaningful conversations among attendees from various cultural backgrounds. This diversity greatly enriched the experience, providing each of us with the unique opportunity to engage directly with people from other countries and expand our perspectives.

[…] Natália's warmth, expertise, and genuine passion for her work shone through every aspect of the workshop. […] I would highly recommend Natália Leal to any organization or community seeking to enhance cultural competency and support the success of international professionals."
