🌞 Natascha Speets and Tadej Accetto Your insightful advice during our conversations / unwavering support when I faced challenges / inspiring words that motivated me have made a significant impact on my journey. Your willingness to share your wisdom and experiences has not only enriched my understanding but has also inspired me to aim higher and strive for excellence. ❤ I am amazed by your kindness, wisdom, empathy and the positive energy you bring to every interaction. Your belief in my potential has given me the confidence to push my boundaries and embrace change wholeheartedly.
Natascha is an amazing mentor coach, and she has a knack for gently guiding people through their blind-spots.
I grew immensely in my training/ facilitation/ mentoring and coaching skills during the time I spent with her and also walked away with a lot more confidence and understanding of each stance.
She holds the bar high for her students to reach their full potential. Would highly recommend Natascha and The Agile Company!
