Hi, I'm Natasha Ickes!

My mission is to help individuals and organizations use change & disruption as opportunities for innovation & growth. My 3 step framework  builds the necessary mindset, tools & techniques needed to thrive through life’s most challenging transitions.

A Few Highlights

BUT IT DIDN'T COME EASY

Where it all started:

My childhood was turbulent to say the least. I was raised primarily by my father and struggled without having my mother consistently in my life.  When I did see her I was exposed to things that weren’t healthy or safe. I often wondered what I did wrong and struggled to see my own worth. My first suicide attempt I was 9 years old. I continued to struggle with depression and by 17 I was a homeless, addicted high school drop out. 

It was during that time I hit rock bottom. My 2nd suicide attempt left me hospitalized and I realized I had a decision to make. I could keep hanging onto the pain or I could choose life. I decided to extract the lessons, to grow through what I go through and to make the best out of the life I have been given.

I turned my life around and got sober, went back to school, built a wonderful relationship with my mom, got married, had a child and opened a business that was making 6 figures within the first 2 years. All this before the age of 23. 

I realized that life's challenges are meant to be overcome so we can illuminate the path for others.

Eventually I combined decades of experience, research and strategies backed by science to create my 3 step formula which I have delivered through coaching, workshops, keynotes and trainings. Let’s set up a call to see if we are a good fit!
