"Natalie Poindexter is highly recommended for her visionary leadership and dedication to empowering businesses and communities."
"Meeting and working with Natalie has been a pleasure. She is both informative and creative. I look forward to establishing long term success with her and recommending her to some of my business contemporaries!"
"Working with Natalie during our Quick Bites: A Solution Session was a game-changer for me as I navigated how to attract more clients for my coaching practice. I came into the session feeling stuck, unsure of what steps to take next. Natalie not only shared insightful recommendations about people, websites, and tools that could help me gain traction but also brought a level of creativity and problem-solving that truly exceeded my expectations. She listened intently, asked thoughtful questions about what I had already tried, and then offered fresh, actionable ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own."
"Natalie has a quality I have rarely found elsewhere: she has a knack for taking what sounds like pie in the sky and molding it into an actionable plan, while at the same time nurturing your dreams and your vision: an incredibly difficult balance to achieve, particularly in the nonprofit world where so many people just seem… jaded. She is as knowledgeable and smart as she is warm and enthusiastic, beautifully threading the needle of dreaming of the world we wish for while working from the realities of the one we have, a wonderful shield against becoming jaded and cynical, as many people in the nonprofit world sometimes seem to be. Natalie is on a very, very short list of people that get an automatic YES, AND… from us, a trusted advisor and a dear friend (she is also a hoot!)."
"Natalie is a dreamer and a thought leader who boldly applies her experience to add value to a project and conversation. She has extensive ideas that elevate your business needs and goals. She is an amazing human to work with, from strategic planning to creating workshops and presentations and design thinking; I recommend working with Natalie for the fresh perspective she brings to every meeting."
"Natalie is an exceptionally dedicated and motivated entrepreneur who truly cares about making a positive impact. She played a pivotal role in guiding us through the grant writing process, offering unwavering support at every stage. In addition, she generously devoted her time and energy to lead workshops and sessions within my community, empowering individuals to gain a deeper understanding of the resources and opportunities available to them."
"Natalie provided me with the information I needed to kickstart my consultation business. She was very easy to talk to, relatable and kind. I appreciated her advice and I'm currently using the action plan she created for me as a guideline. I would recommend her to anyone thinking about starting their own consultation firm."
"I had an introduction meeting with Natalie. We had a great conversation and connection. She really knows her stuff and is the first legit grant writer for businesses that I have encountered. I look forward to working with her more closely in the future. "
