The Exact Hot Seat Podcast | Episode 15

Featuring: Natalie Bell, Founder of Natalie Bell Consulting

In Episode 4 of our RRC Polytech Alumni Series, Amanda Buhse and Lisa Thompson sit down with Natalie Bell, Founder of Natalie Bell Consulting, for a powerful conversation about leadership, authenticity, and the power of using your voice with purpose.

With over 25 years of experience in People & Culture, Natalie shares how speaking from lived experience — especially as a Black woman in HR and leadership spaces — has shaped her approach to coaching, consulting, and building workplaces that actually work for people. From facilitating leadership sessions and guiding executive teams through change, to moderating panels and showing up authentically online, Natalie’s message is clear: human connection is at the heart of great leadership.

• What does it take to lead with listening instead of assumptions?
• How does authenticity become your most powerful strategy?
• And why does presence matter more than polish or perfection?

This isn’t your typical business podcast — it’s thoughtful, real, and full of wisdom you can apply right now.

Key Highlights:

🎙️ How Natalie uses her voice as a superpower to lead, coach, and influence change 🎙️ The importance of authenticity, listening, and presence in leadership 🎙️ Building inclusive, people-first workplaces rooted in connection and trust
