VOICE UP - Speak out!
You are ambitious, you are working internationally, in the development world. You’ve already achieved a lot in your career, you follow your own path, and you have strong ideals that you bring into your work every single day.
But then it’s Monday again; meeting day. You walk into the room and see your team already seated. The conversation starts and your mind switches on; the issue at hand could so easily be solved. Yet you keep your mouth shut. The meeting ends and you feel so frustrated with yourself. Why didn’t you say anything?
There’s a big event and you’ve been asked to present today. Weeks beforehand, the stomach aches begin. You have nightmares about losing your words, having a total blackout, and you wake up with trembling hands and a racing heart. And when the moment finally comes, that’s exactly what happens…
As a manager you’re the face of your department; at least, that’s what you’d think. But you’re not. You leave the presentations to others, barely speak up, and make yourself invisible. With frustration as the result; this won’t get you anywhere.
Then one day you finally say yes to a presentation. As soon as you start talking and look at the audience, you see everyone staring at their phones. You panic even more. It must be your voice, or you’re saying weird things, or… you don’t even know anymore… but you feel like a total failure.
If you continue like this...
You’ll start doubting yourself even more. You’ll keep yourself small and remain invisible. You’ll get increasingly frustrated with yourself, which only makes you hold back even more. That career growth? You can forget about it — and so are the funds your organisation desperately needs. As long as you hide, none of that will happen.
Testimonials
“At work, my job has become secure and I am more productive than I was. I get recognised for what I do because I’ve learned to voice that properly.”
“Natalie has truly made a difference in my life through how she uniquely delivers her life coaching. Her valuable holistic approach includes talk therapy, voice exercises and ambition setting. I truly appreciate her active listening, detailed insights and pragmatic advice. Through her sessions I was able to understand how central my voice is to my wellbeing (speaking up) and purpose (passion for music and creativity). I have been empowered to continue working towards a more fulfilled life. I would recommend Natalie’s sessions to anyone who is looking to take charge of their life, find their voice, fall (back) in love with music and their ultimate purpose, and commit to their self-awareness and exploration journey.”

Natalie is amazing! She was referred to me as an NLP and voice coach. When we met, I was a burnt-out development executive recovering from the worst six months of my life. I was about to celebrate my 50th birthday and Natalie worked with me to craft my birthday toast in which I wanted to meaningfully express my thanks to all family and friends who supported me during the painful journey these last months. She helped me to find my voice, literally, metaphorically, physically, emotionally and in every aspect possible. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is also an amazing singer and has managed one of the top bands in East Africa. If you want to make your voice heard, as a singer, office-based professional, activist, policy maker, student or anyone from all walks of life, I couldn’t recommend Natalie enough. Plus she is a wonderful person and simply fun to work with!

I had a great experience with Natalie. She was able to help me on a personal and professional front by guiding me and helping me find inner confidence again. She helped met get to some practical solutions as well some personal development goals that I will continue to work on with her. After the session I felt that a weight had been lifted, and I walked out with confidence and much more clarity.

During this online meeting, we get to know each other. You’ll share your goals and the challenges you’re facing, and we’ll take a moment to connect. I’ll tell you more about VOICE UP! Coaching, how we can support you, and what a personalised coaching journey can look like.
You’ll get an immediate taste of the Voice Up approach, because even in this first conversation you’ll experience how coaching can bring you clarity and direction.
If we both feel it’s a good fit, we’ll move forward together!
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you need depends on your goals and the support you’re looking for. That’s why we offer different options.
It’s important to know that NLP Coaching is transformative. We explore the deeply rooted values and beliefs that shape your choices and behaviour. Some of them are helpful, while others may need to be re-examined in a new way.
In every session, we look at what’s holding you back from taking action and what you need in order to move forward. Sometimes you may notice resistance coming up. That’s completely normal. Doing what you’ve always done—whether it was effective or not—often feels comfortable. Change requires courage, honesty, and a willingness to try something new.
And that is the power of coaching: step by step, we break through the patterns that no longer serve you, so you can start doing what truly aligns with who you are.
