Change that sticks starts with who you are
Most change initiatives are designed to make organisations more like other organisations. More efficient, more scalable, more generic and more lifeless.
Hi, I’m Natalia
I facilitate change by putting at the center what matters most.
​
I'm a former human rights academic turned organisational change facilitator—someone who learned to navigate conflict and change in the most complex environments before bringing that work to teams who care not only about outcomes and goals in a spreadsheet.
I work with people who believe that sometimes efficacy and speed are not the best methods for finding the right solution.
People like you, who know that organisations that thrive through change are the ones that stay true to who they are.
People who are certain that don't need to choose between growth and identity.
People who know they can have both.
​​​​
You might be here because....
Your team is growing, and you suspect that all those "best practices" everyone keeps suggesting might not actually fit with who you are.
There's resistance happening, and you see this as an opportunity to strengthen your team and your values.
You're facing a change, and you want your people to choose it—not just comply with it.
Conflict keeps surfacing, and you want to integrate its lessons rather than simply dealing with it.
You're leading a team, and you refuse to choose between being effective and being true to who you are.
You know who you are—and you want to succeed by becoming more of that, not less.
Here it's what I've learned
​
The teams that manage change better aren't the ones with the clearest plans.
​
For a long time you've been told that to change, you have to become someone else. That to scale, you have to standardise. That to resolve conflict, someone has to lose.
I don't think that this is case.
This the problem:
Somewhere along the way, we decided that "best practices" meant copying what worked somewhere else.
​
That resistance to change was a bug that need to be fixed. That conflict was something to resolve, not something to learn from.
This is lazy thinking.
Real change—the kind that sticks, the kind that matters—doesn't happen when you force people into someone else's template. It happens when you start with who you are, with was is valuable and the reason why people want to work with you and buy from you.
The organisations that matter most aren't trying to become unicorns. They're trying to build a business with a culture that can't be copied because it's too specific, too rooted and too intentional. A way of working that makes people say, "I'd never want to work anywhere else."
This is what's at stake when change comes knocking.
Not just efficiency. Not just growth. But who you are and why it matters.
This the opportunity:
​
What if resistance isn't the enemy of change but its collaborator?
What if conflict isn't something to manage but learn from?
What if the goal isn't to win people over but to create something together that none of you could have imagined alone?
This is how you get change that actually changes things.
The question isn't whether your business needs to change.
It's whether you're brave enough to change in a way that makes you more yourself, not less.
Most consultants will help you become like everyone else.
A few will help you become more like you.
Choose wisely.

Collaborative Change that Actually Works
​When you need to change without losing your essence, you don't just copy what worked somewhere else.
You need to find first what matters the most to you and what actually fits with your culture and your team. The result? Change that feels like becoming more yourself, not less.

"When I started working with Natalia, there were communication and trust issues on my team that impacted team performance and ultimately put our project at risk. Natalia helped me to approach difficult conversations with individuals and the team to change certain behaviours, including some of my leadership styles. These changes have allowed the team and me to work in a coordinated way, have common goals, a trustworthy environment, and ultimately deliver what the project needed from us."
