A Note from Our Founder, Natalie Paterson

Two years ago, my life underwent a dramatic transformation when I received a diagnosis for a rare and chronic autoimmune disease. This diagnosis altered every facet of my existence, and I was informed that life would never revert to its previous state.

Consequently, I relinquished my career, put my studies  for an MSc in Construction & Project Management on hold, and embarked on a journey to discover my "new normal." This new way of life sometimes necessitates the use of a mobility scooter and requires ample rest—a challenge for someone like me who is naturally active.

However, don't let my disability or the aids I use deter you. I've transformed my disability into a catalyst for personal growth. I've learned to embrace my limitations and am committed to not overextending myself or disappointing others by taking on an excessive workload.

Many aspects of who I am remain unchanged, such as my accumulated knowledge, skills, and experience; my resilience; and my relentless pursuit to be the best version of myself. I've always harboured aspirations of being self-employed in a training & consultancy role, driven by a passion for aiding others in their growth and success.

Had it not been for my circumstances, I might not have had the courage to transition from the security of my local authority job to the unpredictable realm of self-employment. Thus, I choose to believe that everything happens for a reason and that I am now precisely where I'm meant to be—and most importantly, thrilled to be here!

A brief insight into "Work Nat" - I am renowned as the efficient and effective problem-solver. With an aptitude for leadership and a mind teeming with data analysis and research methodologies, I bring over two decades of experience and a first-class degree in Business. My ability to galvanise a team is complemented by emotional intelligence and genuine leadership qualities. As for building connections, I'm as approachable as they come—always eager to offer support or assistance. So, if you're in search of a consultancy firm led by someone with these qualities, look no further.
