A short Bio

Natália is an internationally recognised speaker and trainer, having spoken around the world and worked with clients from many different nationalities.

"With 25+ years of experience, ranging from academia/teaching and research, to policy-making in a multinational setting, executive management/C-suite, and more recently training and coaching, I love to combine my passion for behavioural sciences and personal development with the lessons learned from my own personal journey to bring others (evidence-based) insights and inspiration to act in a transformational way."

From her first international academic presentation in Sevilla/, Spain, in the early 2000s, to keynote speeches in South Korea, to online and in-person workshops and corporate trainings in several countries, Natália has proven to be a versatile and knowledgeable speaker on several topics.

She is a proud member (and past President) of an international Rotary Club, the Co-Manager of ACCESS-Netherlands Training Network, and the supervisor of many Master's /MBA students over the years.

Core Topics

"Aside from jigsaw puzzles, what I love most is to better understand human behaviour and explore what contributes to our overall well-being. As someone who's been living abroad for 2 decades, I just love talking about cultures and how they shape us too..."

Natália's speaking topics focus on elevating (mental) well-being and happiness, owning your definition of success, boosting your cultural competence, using your character strengths and core values, and showing how all these can profoundly impact both your personal development and executive leadership skills. Communication, negotiation skills, and resilience are some of her other topics.

She also often shares her own personal story of going from an unfulfilled Chief Executive living on autopilot to finally owning her own personal and professional journey.
