KEYNOTES, WORKSHOPS, ONE-ON-ONE COACHING, ON-GOING SUCCESS TOOLS
From inspirational keynotes to in-depth workshops, from one-on-one transformational coaching sessions to in-depth strategy tools, my team and I can help you achieve the results you want and the results you need!
Based on a career dedicated to helping others achieve their goals, here’s what I’ve learned: You can’t do this alone!
If you want to transform your workplace you need the support of as many of your colleagues as possible. If you want to make changes in the way you lead, you need an outside perspective – a coach who can help you unlock your full potential.
Although a keynote is a great place to begin - it’s just a start! Have you ever got in shape after just one visit to the gym? (As an award-winning fitness instructor, I know the answer!)
You simply won’t make long lasting changes without a deeper commitment, which is why we also offer a range of in-depth options designed to help you turn inspiration into action and the best of intentions into real commitments!

CONFIDENT
FINDING CONFIDENCE & FOCUS TO IGNITE PERFORMANCE & BOOST RESILIENCE
“If you don’t learn to control your emotions,
your emotions will control you!”

Studies reveal that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence, while 70% admit to experiencing imposter syndrome at work. This draining negative self-talk leads to procrastination, creates unnecessary stress, and wastes valuable time and energy. Negative self-talk also creates resistance to change as employees struggle with uncertainty and convince themselves they can’t learn new skills or adapt to the changes facing them.
A lack of self-confidence can lead to toxic work environments, demotivated employees, and unnecessarily high employee turnover rates. A lack of focus leads to excessive “squirrel brain” at work - contributing to even more stress and creating an enormous drain on productivity.
Conversely, when employees learn to be more confident and focus their thoughts, they will be happier, more innovative, and far more productive. They’ll communicate with greater confidence and clarity. They’ll experience far less stress. And they’ll be more likely to step up as a leader on their teams.
And when your employees gain more confidence and focus, the impact will be felt throughout your team, and ultimately, your entire organization!
Nathalie's THINK Yourself® CONFIDENT keynote is engaging, fun and informative. Whether it’s frontline employees facing disruption, salespeople struggling with how to handle rejection, or first-time supervisors needing a dose of confidence to step into their new roles, the proven system Nathalie shared in her 8 International No.1 Bestsellers will help your team perform at their fullest potential!
KEY MESSAGES:
- Brain Basics: What neuroscience teaches us about harnessing the power of our brains to unlock our potential and improve performance.
- The Power of Positivity: Learn an effective tool that will help employees stay motivated and feel more positive – even during challenging times!
- Responding vs. Reacting: Discover a simple but effective technique that will help your employees choose a healthier response in the face of a conflict or stressful event.

- Working on Purpose: Work has an enormous impact on our lives and a sense of purpose is the #1 motivational influence at work! How focusing on purpose helps employees overcome obstacles and remain energized.
- Leading for a Change: Ideas to help employees be more resilient while embracing change instead of running away from change!
- Collaborative Confidence: Research shows that when just one employee underperforms, the entire team’s performance suffers. Conversely, creating more confident employees leads to vastly improved team and company-wide results!

A RELATIONSHIPS PRO
TEAMWORK, CONFLICT RESOLUTION & COLLABORATION TO CREATE ENGAGEMENT AND MASTER COMMUNICATION.
People don’t leave their job.
they leave the boss they don’t respect
or the co-worker that drives them nuts!

Demotivated employees and high employee turnover rates are extremely costly. Presenteeism, where employees show up at work, but not to work, is also a huge, often overlooked, financial drain. Strong interpersonal relationships are critical for a healthier, happier, and ultimately more profitable business.
Equipping your team with tools to recognize their own personality style and to learn what motivates them will create a more positive workplace environment that focuses on their strengths. Using the STYLE-L.I.S.T. Personal Assessment Tool, this workshop helps participants to learn more about themselves – leading to better communication skills and stronger interpersonal relationship.
Teaching your employees how to recognize their own style along with the style of their co-workers, subordinates, and superiors, will give them a better understanding of the differences between personality types.
Giving them tools to communicate effectively with each style will ensure everyone feels heard and appreciated, creating an environment of respect, camaraderie, and collaboration.
Making sure they can communicate effectively within and outside the organization will foster an environment that reduces your employee turnover and absenteeism rates and allow for a workplace where people truly enjoy spending five days a week. Yes, going to work really can be FUN!

A SALES PRO
SELL, COLLABORATE & INFLUENCE TO CREATE AN IRRESISTIBLE SALES EXPERIENCE.
Have you ever heard:
“Selling is difficult and daunting.”
Or: “Selling makes me feel pushy.”

Whether they belong to the marketing, accounting, production or sales department, everyone in your organization is involved in selling. You can have the best product or offer the most outstanding services, but if you don’t know how to sell them, your business is not going to survive.

This workshop teaches your team how to use the STYLE-L.I.S.T. personal assessment tool to identify the personality style of their prospective buyer.

It can ultimately help you position your entire company as the solution to their specific problem.
Discover how adding four dimensions to the way your employees sell your products and services will generate a higher sales conversion rate, skyrocket your customer’s satisfaction scores, and dramatically increase your client retention and referral rates.

A LEADER
LEVERAGING LEADERSHIP, CHANGE & DISRUPTION STRATEGIES TO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES THROUGH TRUST.
“To lead is not to tell people what to do.
To lead is to teach others
how to find out for themselves.”

To motivate and inspire action from your employees, you need to understand where the switches are to the “lightbulbs” that will inspire and ignite your employees. Learning what drives team members and how to communicate effectively with each personality style on their team will help your leaders lead more effectively, with far greater confidence.
Encouraging leaders to adopt a “coaching mindset” will create a more collaborative and productive team environment. Learning to use inclusive language will equip your leaders with tools to help them manage conflicts, have difficult conversations, build trust, and break down “silos” at work where employees are working in their own fiefdoms!

HEALTHY EMPLOYEES ARE PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEES! SIMPLE, PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR A VIBRANT LIFE

SUCCESSFUL
The D.N.A. System to Reprogram Your Brain and Wire Yourself for Success

Do you self-sabotage? Do you feel that sometimes, an invisible force is making you do the reverse of what you know you should be doing? It may be that your brain is programmed against you. Learn the 3-step system to reprogram the six key layers of your own brain to succeed in your career and personal life, and live to your full potential.
The DNA System
The structure of the system is simple. Pretend you want to make changes in your home. You are unhappy with a few rooms in your house. You have an objective: Guests are coming in a few months and you want to make a few upgrades before they arrive.
The first step is to decide which room in your home you want to start with. Which room will have the most impact and will provide you with the most satisfaction? You need to establish the vision of the new room. Let's say you have decided on re-modelling your kitchen, you would decide on hardwood floors, cupboards, countertop, pain, color, etc. In a business project, it translates to establishing goals, objectives, detailed targets and timeframe.


The second step is demolition and cleaning. Before installing the new cupboards, you will need to remove the existing ones, as it is impossible to install new cupboards on top of the old ones. There is a need to eliminate limiting beliefs, negative emotions and barriers and change neuro pathways in the brain in order to re-create new ones.
Once you have created space, you can install and secure the new floors and cupboards. You are mentally ready to install new behaviours and beliefs along with the action plan you elicited in step one. You can operationalize the objectives.
