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.

NATALIE ON OVERCOMING UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES AND BUILDING RESILIENCE

Natalie faced significant challenges when two superiors unexpectedly left their roles within three years, requiring her to take over their responsibilities overnight. She demonstrated resilience by quickly adapting to these new functions and finding inner strength to overcome fears of failure. Natalie's ability to handle unexpected challenges and adapt swiftly highlights the importance of resilience in leadership.
