Alex S
“Although not naturally inclined to seek out executive coaching, I was offered the opportunity through my employer. As it turned out, partnering with Natalya was one of the most impactful decisions of my executive career. And I quickly looked forward to, and even relied upon, time with Natalya to work through issues and improve my skills. Natalya is an excellent listener, humble, and personable. But her unique ability was to balance these traits with the ability to challenge my thinking and to continuously find ways to get me to explore long-term solutions to my most pressing issues. Natalya’s insights and strategic guidance have helped me grow both professionally and personally in ways I could never have imagined. I highly recommend Natalya to any executive, or really anyone, looking for personal and professional growth.”
Chief Counsel
“I have worked with Natalya as a coach for more than ten years, first when I was a division director overseeing a multi-billion dollar grant portfolio at federal agency and later when I started my consulting practice.
During that time, my career, life, and what I needed from coaching changed significantly. One of Natalya’s great strengths is that her approach has evolved with me.
Some coaches can be overly passive; others rely too heavily on a particular formula or methodology. I found that Natalya strikes a balance that I have found enormously valuable. She lets me set the priorities and decide what I most need to work through. She listens closely and will sometimes make a connection I had not seen. Her work draws upon a deep knowledge in the fields of positive psychology and executive development.
Natalya’s style is low-key, thoughtful, and collaborative, but never unfocused. I consistently leave our conversations with greater clarity about what matters and what I want to do next.
I continue to find our coaching sessions remarkably valuable after more than a decade of working together.”
