With over 25 years’ experience in commercial leadership roles Natalie Bagnall has built and led powerful commercial cultures ensuring high revenue growth for organisations in emerging and saturating markets, new and traditional media.

Natalie was most recently a Director in Google where she led international sales teams in EMEA. This was a complex, international and fast-moving culture where teams were responsible for digitalising large brand advertisers with online media products.

Adapting more recently to clients’ demands for innovation and change, Natalie has deepened her knowledge of the drivers of human behaviour and the dynamics of organisations. Moving into the executive development space, she now provides professional coaching to clients across a broad range of organisational and personal development requirement

GUIDANCE ON YOUR NEXT PROFESSIONAL STEP

Sometimes it’s not easy to understand why your working life is making you unhappy or anxious. Perhaps your strengths are not being used to their potential or your values are not being met. Coaching will help you understand what makes you tick professionally, what’s essential for you in a career and how to consider alternative career paths.

CEO OR EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER

Your role carries unique complexities and challenges. Unconventional reporting lines, managing teams of salaried-staff and volunteers, building good relationships with founders, and the ambiguities of working with non-executives or trustees bring challenges that other leadership roles don’t have. Coaching can help you to improve your influencing skills and support you in the crucial move from operations to strategic leadership.

NEED HELP ON BRANDING YOURSELF?

Rather than covering up gaps in your CV for time taken out to raise a family, build up a new skill or look after an older relative, these are enriching periods in our life that give us advantages over others. Creating the narrative around these periods to to position life’s experiences appropriately to future employers is an essential stage before you nail that important interview and land the job!

YOUR TRAJECTORY AS A SENIOR LEADER

As a senior leader the stakes are high; you have expectations of yourself and a sense of responsibility to your company and your team. Coaching will support you to be successful, help catch you when things get rocky, and navigate the transition rapidly to accelerate performance
