VOICE UP - Speak out!
You’re ambitious. You have a great job, and work in an international environment. You know you add value. And yet, you stay quiet in meetings.
Maybe you struggle with "Dutch directness". Or with colleagues keeping quiet when you have asked them a question. And why do those presentations always feel like such a task? You can stay up for nights before you have to speak in public...
And afterwards, when you beat yourself up thinking: Why am I not able to say what I really think?
Voice Up helps ambitious internationals take their place in the workplace.
By strengthening your authentic voice, so you can speak calmly, clearly and convincingly, especially when it matters most.
Authentic communication means saying what you stand for in a way that works for you. And in a way that is effective for the people around you.
"Authentieke communicatie betekent: zeggen waar je voor staat op een manier die werkt voor jou. En effectief is voor je omgeving."
Herken je dit?
Je bent ambitieus. Je hebt een goede baan, je werkt in een internationale, diverse omgeving. Je weet dat je wat te zeggen hebt.
En tóch blijf je stil.
Tijdens vergaderingen spreek je je zelden écht uit. Je vraagt niet om hulp als je het nodig hebt. Presenteren voelt als een ding. Je past je aan aan de ruimte in plaats van de ruimte te vullen.
Je weet dat er meer in je zit. Maar je stem is ergens onderweg kleiner geworden dan jij bent.
Nieuwsgierig? Je kunt me altijd een Whatsapp bericht sturen. Ik denk graag met je mee in een online gesprek.

Agricultural Development Executive

Natalie is amazing! She was referred to me as an NLP and voice coach. When we met, I was a burned-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 of life, I couldn't recommend Natalie walks 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 with get to some practical solutions as well as 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.

Natalie has truly made a difference in my life through how she uniquely delivers her life coaching together with vocal/singing lessons. Her valuable holistic approach includes talk therapy, singing 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 work 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, plus commit to their self awareness/exploration journey.

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.
