"Natalia has been invaluable in my quest to find myself as a professional. It's not just about finding a job, but the Program was a true journey of self-discovery about my abilities, desires, interests that, sometimes, were dormant by a system that only keeps us reactive.
Her motivating and provocative skills were super important for us to draw up an efficient strategy together. Natalia has the perfect combination of coaching technique with a very unique communicative talent. Sensitive, she has always been attentive to the most delicate moments of the process itself, when we are more insecure and our self-esteem needs to be strengthened.
I do remember our first meeting. In the list of materials that should be on the table, paper, pen, pencil, eraser, a hot drink and tissues. I kept asking myself "why tissues?". I understood on the first day, when we assessed what the problem was and where I wanted to go. It was amazing. A very important moment at that point in my life.
I could go on and on about many small and big moments of our encounters, but I think that matters more to the person making the journey than the person who is watching from the outside.
Today, I am convinced that people should go through such a journey at least once in their lives. :)
So, have you got the guts? ;) "

"Go for it!
Natália associates good method and organization with a unique sensitivity (which normally makes her an excellent reader of people). The program respects the pace of each participant while promoting empathy and self-knowledge.
I strongly recommend."

"Participating in this transformative program has been an enlightening and enriching experience for me. From the initial steps to the present, the program's structure, guidance, and the unwavering support I've received have left a profound impact on my professional and personal growth.
The multi-faceted nature of the program, incorporating diverse phases such as recorded sessions, linked tests, engaging group meetings, and valuable one-on-one sessions, has contributed significantly to my learning curve. These varied approaches accommodated different learning styles and fostered holistic understanding.
One noteworthy aspect is the program's emphasis on lifelong learning. The ability to retain access to all course content is an invaluable resource that I foresee myself returning to for continuous learning and guidance in the months ahead. This feature truly extends the program's impact beyond its formal duration.
At the heart of this experience is Natalia, a skilled mentor and coach. Her openness and approachability have created an environment where candid conversations flow seamlessly. Her insights, valuable tips, and knack for posing thought-provoking questions, especially during the one-on-one sessions, have been instrumental in pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging deeper introspection.
A significant takeaway has been the revelation that many grapple with uncertainties about our abilities and fail to leverage our networks to navigate change. This realisation, coupled with the guidance provided, has equipped me with tools to embrace change, redefine my goals, and effectively draw upon my network.
The program's ability to evolve and address themes like personal development and LinkedIn demonstrates its adaptability and responsiveness to participants' needs. Although I found the open-ended discussions beneficial, targeted sessions on specific topics like public speaking would provide an even more well-rounded experience.
Ultimately, my association with this program has not only facilitated clarity in envisioning my ideal life scenario but also bolstered my self-confidence. It has emboldened me to navigate challenges while remaining aligned with my core values. The program's holistic approach, Natalia's insightful guidance, and the diverse learning avenues have collectively woven a tapestry of growth and empowerment.
In conclusion, the program has played an instrumental role in my personal and professional development. As I continue on my journey, I am immensely grateful for its impact in helping me navigate changes, embrace challenges, and pursue my aspirations with newfound clarity and determination."
