Signature Sessions

1

Positivity: Transforming Purpose-Driven Culture

What Positivity Is, What It's Not, and Why It Matters. 

A positive workplace isn't about good vibes and motivational posters. Workplace positivity, when practiced authentically, is a high-value skill that builds better teams and results and better business outcomes. In this session, Natalie challenges outdated ideas of morale and introduces positivity as a discipline; one rooted in communication, empathy, and choice. 

​

Attendees will become participants in a vision-driven culture reset for your organization as they explore how language, behavior, and interaction intersect to shape their own experience and their work, contributing to an environment where people really want to show up, and where they can thrive.

The Alchemy of Pain: Agency in Suffering

Perspective and the Power of Choice.

What if your pain wasn’t the end of your story, but the beginning of your power? This session invites audiences to explore how hardship can become the raw material for growth. Through storytelling, mindset shifts, and practical frameworks, Natalie helps participants examine how perspective, agency, and choice shape their healing journey.

​

This seminar doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle, it honors it. Then it shows what’s possible when we learn to reframe the narrative Ideal for groups navigating change, leadership burnout, or emotionally heavy environments, or who want to help their attendees tackle the issue of transformative pain head-on.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Raising Baselines

Building a Sustainable Relationship with Joy.

We talk about happiness as if it’s a moment we’re chasing. But what if it’s something we build, and something we practice? In this session, Natalie challenges the cultural myths about what it means to be “happy,” inviting participants to define it on their own terms.

​

Together, the audience explores different types of happiness (like pleasure, contentment, purpose), what we mistakenly prioritize, and how to build a baseline that doesn’t disappear the moment life gets hard. Grounded in lived experience and science-backed insight, this session is both inspiring and practical, and offers a needed shift in focus from temporary feel-good to sustainable emotional health.

How to Feel, Better: Words Matter

The Language We Use Around Mental Health.

Mental health matters. But so does how we talk about it. This session explores how the words and narratives we use, both culturally and personally, can unintentionally keep us stuck, isolated, disempowered, or ashamed.

​

By breaking down common phrases like “I am depressed” or “My life is broken,” Natalie shows how language can either reinforce stigma or open up new space for compassion, clarity, and growth. This keynote is not about toxic positivity or surface-level motivation; it’s to demonstrate how mindful, intentional shifts can lead to agency and healing.
