Your business objectives must be embedded and aligned with the overall vision of your organisation to achieve sustainable success. Without a solid leadership framework that translates this alignment into everyday real-life leadership situations chances are, that your overall strategy is bound to fail.
The A.R.M.O.U.R of Leadership
The A.R.M.O.U.R of Leadership is a model I created, which applies six principles that offer a paradigm shift in sustainably shaping the future of leadership with a human-centered design.
Not only is The A.R.M.O.U.R a template for leadership transformation, but it is also a solid guide to crafting a sustainable response to the changing leadership landscape in a world where technological advancements are evolving at an unprecedented pace.
Authenticity
The success of organisations today is not only measured by market-rate returns. Investors want to invest in, customers want to buy from, and people want to work with authentic and relatable brands..
Resilience
It is the ability to adapt positively to pressure, disruptive changes, and changing markets. Reframe challenges into opportunities for sustainable peak performance.
Mastery
According to the world economic forum, more than 50% of the workforce will need to upskill and reskill by 2025. A solid strategy to ensure effective deployment is the essence of skillset mastery.
Ownership
Create an ecosystem where people can work together towards addressing challenges the industrial revolution brings built on the fundamental principle that every individual is accountable for delivering an outcome even where others have a role to play.
Understand
Organisations must confidently communicate their business and leadership strategy to demonstrate how their approach sustainably centers the stakeholders while creating long-term value.
Respect
Organisations must understand and respect the presence of difference. Diversity and inclusivity are two sides of a coin whose effective leverage is fundamental when sustainably discussing the future of work.
Ich habe mich an Natalie gewandt, weil ich einen Verein diverser machen möchte. Es geht mir also darum, bislang nicht vertretene Gruppen erfolgreich anzusprechen und einzufügen, ohne dabei die bestehenden Vereinsmitglieder zu verlieren. Denn diese haben alle Freiheit, solchen Wandel abzulehnen.
Natalie verstand sofort, wo für mich dabei die Herausforderungen liegen und konnte es aus ihrer Perspektive einordnen. Allein das war ein großer Gewinn. Zusammen haben wir eine Roadmap mit Zwischenzielen ausgearbeitet, in der sich alte und neue Mitglieder wiederfinden sollen.

Natalie, in four words, is a “breath of fresh air”. Everything about her challenges conventional mindsets. Natalie is a leadership strategist who is able to take the complexity and create well-conceived programs that deliver tangible business results.
She strives to create programs that not only address the stated development needs but also to fully understand the unstated needs to address organizational needs in the future. Natalie is an innovative partner who constantly looked for strategic synergies, creating win/win situations for all involved. I highly recommend Natalie and would welcome an opportunity to work with her again in the future!

Few coaches can see the holistic picture like Natalie can. As a client of Natalie’s, I am incredibly impressed by her ability to provoke meaningful change within a single meeting.
Her diagnostic and coaching skills are astounding, I was particularly impressed at her ability to probe beyond generalisations and identify specific drivers that can inhibit long term growth. Natalie not only provides the tools to move forward but facilitates growth on a new level. I would strongly recommend getting in touch with Natalie for individual coaching or group workshops.
