What senior leaders are saying about Heywood Smith Consulting.

“Working with Nathalie helped me realize that executive presence isn't about waiting to be recognized or told what's next. It's about owning your value, making intentional choices, and deciding the path you want to take. She helped me stop waiting for permission and start leading my career with greater confidence and clarity.”

“I came to Nathalie knowing I needed to negotiate, but not fully confident in how to position my value. She helped me think beyond the number—how to frame my impact, communicate my worth, and approach the conversation as a leader. I walked in prepared, clear, and confident, and came out with a stronger package and a much stronger sense of my own value.”

“Nathalie helped me see that my experience wasn’t tied to one format or industry. She helped me translate what I had built in magazines into the value I could bring to digital media, reposition my story, and make the transition with confidence. What felt like starting over became a clear next step and I didn't have to compromise my salary.”
