Discover How Coaching Has Transformed the Careers of Our Clients
A colleague of mine recommended me to work with Natalie, and I am super glad that I did. Over the period of a few months that we have worked together, I have gained significant clarity and developed tools to help me when I was veering off course. I have a much better idea of the balance that I want to achieve at work and at home and have found methods to ground myself when having difficult days. She is an excellent guide, and I am super grateful that she has taken me on as a client. In addition to her coaching on how to achieve balance and on being centered, she has really helped me during interviews that I have gone too. We practiced interview questions together, and she is able to help me frame my answers in such a clear and elegant way.
Working with Natalie has changed my life. When we started, I thought I had everything under control, just needed help making lists or maybe reading a few recommended books to be more patient with managing my stressful environment. No, I was very very wrong – Natalie taught me how to live a life filled with joy, focus on what is meaningful to me, how to determine what is truly meaningful to me, how to life in harmony with the present and be more mindful of this beautiful life. Everything I learned was through self-discovery, guided by Natalie, and it all applies to my personal and professional life.
Natalie is an incredible executive coach and you should absolutely work with her. I extended my engagement with Natalie after she helped me navigate a huge career inflection point, and at a timewhen I was postpartum and struggling to find the right balance of family time, work, hobbies, etc. in my life. I am a working mother, and navigating my career growth and ensuring an upward trajectory while postpartum or with young children has been one of the biggest challenges in my career thus far. Natalie has helped me regain purpose, clarity, balance, and perhaps most importantly, a sense of control over my career + life that I didn’t quite realize I had lost. She helped me successfully navigate an exit from a role that I couldn’t see past, find a new Director-level role that fit my needs and future vision, and without her coaching and expertise, I’m not sure I would be where I am today. I highly recommend working with her!
Natalie has been instrumental in my professional and personal growth. If you are looking to take your career to the next level or simple looking to increase your professional and personal emotional
intelligence, Natalie is the ONE!
Natalie has been an incredible leadership coach to partner with as I’ve navigated continued personal and professional growth. She asks direct questions, provides perspective and introduces tools to achieve the desired results. Having a trusted, objective partner has been such a game-changer for me. I always walk away from our meetings feeling heard and with specific actions to help focus on my goals at that given time. After working with Natalie, I finally found the courage to leave a role that no longer serves me and join a national organization that will allow me the growth I’ve been yearning
for with the potential to double my compensation!
In less than 9 months, Natalie has helped me make significant improvements in a couple of significant ways. First, was she helped me work on enhancing my visibility within the organization and improving my perception among senior leadership which has led to a promotion. Secondly, by really focusing in on specific goals and challenging me to visualize common scenarios where I would normally sabotage myself, I was able to preemptively stay on track and achieve success. I highly recommend her.
Natalie’s been wonderful – really helped me grow and develop at a critical time in my career. The process began with an introductory conversation, and based on the questions, comments, and insights raised about my situation and goals, I knew immediately that I’d benefit from coaching. I gained a ton of practical and insightful perspective, while staying very much within my own value system, to make progress toward my goals, overcome obstacles, and take action and accountability for my growth and well-being. The best part is that I now have “tools” and techniques to better manage myself, navigate tricky situations, foster self-care and self-awareness. Why didn’t I meet Natalie earlier in my career?! Definitely recommend Natalie for anyone wanting guidance in becoming a better version of you!
Natalie was such an incredible coach to work with and I’m so grateful for our time together. From discovery to action planning, not a minute was wasted because every session was valuable, supportive, and insightful. She asked me questions I wouldn’t ask myself, guided me with helpful tools, and held me accountable to working towards my goals. I reached one of my top goals, starting with my dream company, by the end of our 6 months working together, which is a testament to her coaching abilities. I don’t think I would have been able to reach it on my own if it weren’t for her
direction and feedback. I’m now able to approach my leadership style and my career with clarity, confidence, determination, and authenticity. I’d recommend Natalie to anyone who is hesitant about coaching or feels like they have untapped potential but don’t know where to start. Take the leap, you’re in good hands.
Two years ago, I felt stalled on my career path, largely because I was no longer sure what I wanted. A close friend pointed me to Natalie and I cannot thank her enough. In the two years I have worked with Natalie, I have dug deeply into my own motivations and found a clarity of purpose that was always there, just not named. Natalie consistently teaches useful tools for addressing difficult situations and for getting to the heart of the matter. I feel more confident in my career trajectory, and that the skills I am learning are helping me make life better for more patients and families. I’m more content with my personal life as well. Natalie reminded me that I love learning new things. I started taking dance classes with my kids, just for fun!
When I was referred to Natalie by someone I admire greatly (a fellow Latina boss lady), I was experiencing the hardest time in my life both personally and professionally. The impact of my grief on my day-to-day, and the lack of support from my boss really did a number on my confidence. Natalie helped me get back-to-basics — to look inward at my strengths and successes, to smash the saboteurs, and to prioritize the things that really mattered to me. She has helped me look at my personal values (e.g. what motivates and energizes me), as well as be intentional and clear about where to invest my energy. The clarity comes from pointed questions, actions created every time we meet, and from being accountable. With her guidance, I’ve created artifacts — journals on specific topics or various long-term and short-term visions — that have helped me connect deeply to my strengths, desires, and priorities. And most importantly to come up with the courage and the action plan to go after them. This is how I got my groove back and found my last leadership position.
I can’t thank Natalie enough for her expertise and guidance and would recommend her to any high-achieving woman that wants to tap into her superpowers and align her life with her values.
In my professional life, I coach and work with business owners daily on how to run and grow their business from a financial and operational lens. I assisted many owners and employees about their own personal growth and state of mind but had no one to help me do this. I never really thought of having an executive coach for myself because I was expected to be that for my clients in a way. One day when I was struggling, I asked a friend and colleague for a recommendation and she connected me with Natalie.
First – we have the same name so I felt it was going to be a perfect fit! It has been. We have been working together now for almost 2 years and I cannot imagine us not working together. She has helped me understand myself better and to be kinder to myself in all of my roles – business owner, wife, mother to 2 young boys and be true to my values.
I’m often asked what is the one piece of advice you would give – partner with an executive coach that is the right fit for you. It will change your life and business.
I was initially hesitant to try coaching, but I’m grateful I took the leap. Natalie has helped me revamp my workflow and overhaul my systems. She asks the tough questions, while it’s not always comfortable, get to the heart of where you actually want to go. I have more focus, joy, understand
my emotional strengths/weakness (and how to improve them), and way more balance in my life. She looks at the whole picture and dives deep. If you are feeling burnt out, stuck, having trouble balancing a busy work and home life, and/or feel like you are just going through the motions, do yourself a favor and ask for her help. Worth every penny! I can’t recommend her enough.
Natalie coached me for six months and during that time, I experienced significant change in my life. Given Natalie’s prior experiences in HR, I immediately felt she was someone who could deeply relate to the challenges I was facing in my own career. She created a space where I felt empowered to bring a wide range of topics (both professional and personal) to our sessions.
I found Natalie’s coaching to be powerful – she helped me evaluate what was really important to me, pointed me towards choice, and held me accountable for taking action towards the change I wanted to experience. It was a really great balance of reflection and action. At every step of my coaching journey, Natalie was alongside me and cheering me on. I concluded my coaching engagement with Natalie with more awareness of what I really want out of my career and a deeper commitment to intentionally choosing where I spend my time and energy. Natalie brought my attention to my values and made sure that I was living them with each choice I made.
I am also making a career shift towards coaching, and Natalie offered invaluable guidance to me around how to build a successful practice and what mindsets to hold as a coach. I feel much more confident in taking a big leap of faith because Natalie has been so gracious in sharing about her approach and learnings from her own journey.
I highly recommend Natalie and hope to continue to work with her.
I had been thinking for a while about ways to take my business to the next level. I mentioned to a colleague that I was thinking of hiring someone to work with me to help me grow my business. I shared that I was having a difficult time finding someone that was not a “one size fits all” coach, and needed someone who would understand who I was, how I work, and how I relate to my clients. She immediately shared the contact information of her personal coach, and gave her a glowing recommendation. She raved about how her coach had fundamentally changed her professional life. She knew that Natalie Bybee was the best person for me to work with. It turned out to be a perfect fit. I’ve been working with Natalie for a while now, and I can’t imagine not having her in my professional life. She is exactly what I had hoped to find. My business has taken a giant leap forward since I began working with her. I have experienced a dramatic change in how I approach my business and clients. I couldn’t be happier, and I highly recommend her.
Natalie far exceeded my expectations and was instrumental in helping me grow professionally – and personally – during the 6 months that I was fortunate to work with her. She challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and take a deeper look at what motivates me, and also helped me evaluate and weigh some large decisions about my career path. Her coaching and support was invaluable and I am still using the tools she provided and working towards the goals we set out together even though our sessions have ended.
Natalie came highly recommended to me by a colleague. Natalie was fabulous, she supported me through a time of tremendous change and business building for me. I left each session with clear action and AHAs and loved the environment Natalie created, and the accountability and intention built in. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone seeking coaching!
Working with Natalie has been tremendously helpful in navigating the 2020 insanity. She provided me with smart frameworks and insightful questions to unpack some of my work challenges and sources of stress. This was my first experience with a coach and we quickly developed trust. Working with Natalie has helped me gain more self-awareness, clarified my priorities and I was able to recover a lot of energy and motivation after our interactions.
Natalie combines the mantras “the sky is the limit” and “let’s get this party started” in her coaching sessions. She has an enthusiasm for life, a passion for people, and a belief in the life you can create for yourself. I appreciate how she ignited a fire in me to stop making excuses and start making things happen!
Natalie has been an incredible coach, always providing a refreshing perspective through her many questions and diverse range of resources/materials. Thanks to this, I’ve gained more clarity in my professional life and dedicated more time to my personal career goals!
The strategies used by Natalie were really very effective and made me reflect better on my approach to work. Natalie is a great listener, she is an upbeat mentor and working with her helped me ‘untangle’ some of my thoughts and motivated me to apply my values in the workplace and in leading my team. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone who is going through periods of transition in the organization or is interested in re-assessing their personal development goals.
Natalie is a very powerful coach. She has a unique ability to go to a deeper level very quickly. She challenged me in a very respectful and caring way and I always felt supported. I definitely had a lot of “ah-ha” moments working with Natalie. Natalie is an amazing coach – highly direct, intuitive, caring and compassionate. If you are ready to grow, she will push you out of your comfort zone and will support you every step of the way along the journey, all the while reminding you to “have fun with it!”
I was hesitant, at first, about the idea of working with a career coach, but my desire to grow in both my professional and personal life led me to Natalie. From our very first conversation, I knew I had made the right choice. Natalie was a calming force that pushed me to reflect on who I am, what I value and what I’m best at. Since working with Natalie, I have found that my outlook has shifted. I feel more confident at work and have become better at being my own advocate. I also landed a role that aligns with my values and gives me the flexibility and growth I was looking for. I would recommend Natalie to all who are looking for a positive change in their lives. Her ability to listen and thoughtfully guide your thinking is something I looked forward to each time we met. Welcoming Natalie and her expertise into your life will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
I found Natalie out of desperation. I was stuck at a job with no growth and mounting responsibilities. Her holistic approach along with concrete assessments, tools, and techniques empowered me to make the decisions and next steps I needed to start a career. Not only did I learn exactly how to navigate the occupational change of direction, but in working with Natalie, I forgave myself the shame I’d carried for over a decade for the lack of direction and lost potential. While our work together was done remotely, I recently had the delightful chance to meet Natalie in person at a networking event. It felt like meeting an old friend, and she asked how things have been since we ended our coaching sessions. I was gratified for the follow-up during a time when I had been wishing for someone in my corner. Even now, she is still in my corner.
I am a pragmatist, and Natalie is similarly very practical in her approach to coaching; she was able to keep me focused on moving forward. My series of sessions with Natalie brought me from a blurry sense of unrest/inspiration to a full fledge project idea. I recommend working with Natalie, she is an excellent listener and is able to piece together germinating and rambling thoughts and in her reflections back move them towards coherence and connections.
Natalie’s easygoing approach is inviting, which allows me the comfort of expressing myself. She is genuine as well as sympathetic and offers great ideas to assist you in finding resolution to needs. Her positive outlook is contagious and inspirational! I have recommended Natalie to several of my friends and colleagues.
Natalie provides genuine coaching in all areas of life. Natalie encourages you to think about your own goals and values. She assists people on how to achieve the best results needed. She is quick to identify and recognize on how to stay on track with achieving your personal goals. Overall, Natalie is professional and highly recommend her to be your next coach.
Natalie’s voice gently, compassionately and directly guides you into your truth. She provides the necessary tools and business guidance at appropriate stages along the way and her homework assignments help to keep you on track. I highly recommend her to help you reach your goals when you are struggling to navigate and meet them on your own.
I was put in touch with Natalie at a time in my life where I felt trapped in my day-to-day experience and overwhelmed by the idea of pursuing what I really wanted to do and whom I really wanted to become. The idea of coaching seemed foreign to me but after our first conversation I immediately saw that a positive change was within my reach. Natalie’s approach balanced (much needed) self-discovery, positive reinforcement, and effective goal setting. She constantly worked to find an approach that was best for me. Natalie was instrumental in helping me set a path to who I want to be while working with who I am now. Career changes are a huge commitment, but thanks to Natalie Iam on my way.
As a full-time attorney, wife and mom I had it all and needed no help – or so I thought. On one of those days when the weight of the routine somehow aligned with my readiness for change, I reached out to Natalie. Since the first call, Natalie has been instrumental in helping me frame my priorities, make a plan for achieving them and execute the steps needed. She asks the questions that help me find the unique solutions that work for me. I appreciate most that she respects my individual needs rather than trying the cliche solutions. Natalie is also great at acknowledging progress that I might
not have noticed otherwise. She is also well versed in extended resources for personal and professional growth.
Since working with Natalie, I’ve recognized that there is no overnight solution or instant fix. I’ve steadily learned to integrate balance into my life: saying “yes” only to what matters and finding time and space to enjoy the little things. I’ve built confidence and recognize the negative stories we often tell ourselves. Simply put: I feel better and suspect the same is true for those around me at home and work. Joy and integrity are contagious.
I have recommended and would recommend Natalie to anyone ready for personal and professional growth. She’s right there to support you through the work.
I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone needing a change in their careers
