"My life has been going through a transformation since starting the coaching program with Natalya on Energy Leadership. Previously I felt stuck in fear and guilt, with never enough time in my life. I now have the knowledge of the levels of energy, tools to elevate them, and a new sense of self-awareness. Natalya has been incredibly helpful in challenging me to think differently and create a better life for me and everyone I come in contact with." -

“The 360 Assessment was incredibly insightful for me professionally and personally. I learned so much about how I handle busy and stressful situations and how I can better approach these times. Having feedback from my peers, employees and other raters is very informative and has helped me grow as a leader”.

​
I have had a great one-to-one consultation that followed a group Energy Leadership workshop and individual Energy Leadership Index Assessment with Natalya Berdikyan. After this consultation, I understood myself better, found what I truly love and found a sustainable solution for a peaceful life. If interested in exploring energy for yourself/your team, then I would highly recommend her full consultation/services.

​
“For me, Natalya is more of a guide than a coach. There are so many things going on in my life that I often feel like I am lost in a wild jungle. I feel that Natalya takes my hand, leads me to the center of the jungle and then helps me to decide which natural paths to navigate based on my energies; and more importantly, gives me the tools to navigate them.”
