Are you a senior professional who wants more out of your career and life?
I am a career and executive coach with a real passion for helping people to get unstuck and reach their full potential.
Helping you navigate tough career decisions
My clients are professionals who are successful in their careers and lives but may no longer be fulfilled by what they do, or satisfied with the path that they are on. They often feel that they could do so much more with their lives and their jobs but cannot quite put their finger on what they need to do differently.
Do you ask yourself:
Why am I not reaching my potential?
Why am I not getting this promotion or this job that I want?
Why am I not happy doing what I do?
Why do I feel stuck?
Why am I not able to deal with this particular issue?
Why can’t I sort it myself?
For whatever reason – ranging from a lack of time, clarity or confidence to simply being unable to see beyond the obstacles – you have been unable to make the switch to a more fulfilling position or career.
The good news is that you are most likely to have the answers within you but often just need help asking the right questions. Or you may need encouragement and reassurance that you are on the right path. Or you just need a supportive and non-judgemental listener. Or you may need help to know how to get there.
As a coach, I bring a unique combination of skill and business experience, leadership development and clinical organisation psychology to help unlock your potential and find the right answers for you. And most importantly I am passionate and driven by wanting to help you succeed.

Testimonials
I would like to thank you for sharing with me your knowledge during this morning ReEntry Insight Day. It was a massive confidence boost and an eye opener to the current approach towards people who took an extended career break
JP MorganInsight Day 2019
Nathalie is an exceptional coach. Having completed an EMBA, I was finding it impossible to decide which path to take next. Nathalie was a fantastic coach during this period. She is astute and asked all the right questions to correctly identify my drivers. Together we were able to identify a role that would fulfil my career ambitions.

I worked with Nathalie twice over the last few years at times when I was facing some very tough life decisions. She helped me gain a lot of clarity and understanding around who I am, prioritise what was important to me and identify some clear next steps. We also worked on sharpening up some key leadership skills needed for the next stage of my career. Her ability to help me see through the ‘fog’ has been invaluable.

About me
I run a private coaching business in West London and have been a career coach for INSEAD Business School for MBAs, EMBAs and alumni since 2016.
I lead leadership executive programmes across industries, up-skilling and preparing senior executives for C-suite succession. I am an adjunct faculty member of Executive programmes at London Business School.
I am a career and executive coach, with a unique combination of skills drawn from over 20 years of experience as a strategy consultant and as an independent provider of management development services.
As a lead coach of Women Returners, I have been dedicated to coaching senior professionals wanting to return to work after an extended career break, playing a central role in the introduction and growth of ‘returnships’ at Top 250 listed companies in the UK.
In my earlier career, I was a Management Consultant at both Arthur D. Little (London and Singapore) and Accenture (Australia and the UK) which has given me an appreciation of career challenges that senior executives face across industries and at various stages of their careers.
I hold a Diploma in Clinical Organisational Psychology (INSEAD CCC 2010) and MBA (INSEAD) and a Bachelor in Economics (Monash University, Australia).

Women Returners
I joined the Women Returners team from the outset in 2014, passionate about helping senior professionals get back to work after a career break.
I have coached women, and increasingly men, in their journey back to work by supporting them in regaining their professional identity based on their strengths and experience, setting themselves up for success and making the most out of whatever opportunity is opened to them. I am immensely proud of the number of returners we have helped get back to a successful career.
Women Returners is an organisation which has been successfully working with returners, pioneering returner programmes in the UK with Top FTSE250 client organisations. The mission is to bring about social change, enabling those who have taken extended career breaks, for a range of reasons, to secure professional level roles.
