NATALIE AS A LEADER
Having trust in my ability to handle situations has guided me through challenges.
Leadership is not static but a dynamic process.
Great Leaders include.
The future of leadership is all about inclusivity, resilience and flexibility in an ever faster changing world.
When I think of a leader, I think of Nelson Mandela.
LIFE-LONG LEARNING IS NOT JUST A PHRASE BUT A NECESSITY IN TODAY'S DIGITAL WORLD.
