I recommend the CEO Next Chapter program. It was an important part of my personal clarity and CEO journey.

When our firm was ready for its next phase of growth, we started with a key stakeholder audit that Natalie managed for us. She asked all of the right questions to help us clarify what we needed to do next. The roadmap we co-created was clear and on point and has guided us through a significant restructuring.

Kristina Williams

I believe every CEO needs to take time to reflect on what really matters to re-align with their why. Natalie gets high marks for coaching me and the team as we all got ready for our next phase of growth together.
I am grateful.
Natalie was amazing, she coached me through a stage of significant personal change which led to a new phase of career & personal growth. Without her support and her whole person approach, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Over the years, Natalie Michael has provided me with invaluable insights, inflection points, and many opportunities for significant personal and professional growth to help me continue to grow as a person and as a leader.
When I decided to step away from day-to-day executive leadership, Natalie walked alongside me as we thoughtfully and holistically designed my next chapter with the necessary clarity, conviction, and courage. I am grateful for that, I am very grateful for Natalie as her influence over the years has, quite simply, helped make my life better. And I have a wonderful life, I feel richly blessed.

Natalie did a great job guiding me through an important professional transition. After many years as a CEO, I knew I wanted to open a new chapter, but wasn’t sure what that would be. She made me work hard, using a variety of tools and asking me really thoughtful (not always easy!) questions. Today, I am running my own consulting business and it is the perfect fit.

I had no idea what to expect from the CEO Next Chapter program, nor did I have any idea about my next chapter. What I got was a clear process for how to think about my next chapter which was enriched by interacting with a small group of like-minded individuals. I immensely enjoyed it and I am now approaching my next chapter with excitement.
