Meet Natalie Loeb

Natalie Loeb is the founder and Co-CEO of Loeb Leadership, a preeminent leadership coaching and development company based in the United States with over 100 consultants across the U.S. and Europe. Natalie is an entrepreneur and a female business leader who has built a family owned and operated business from the ground up. She brings over 30 years of experience in talent development, coaching, and training, and is recognized as a thought leader and innovator within the legal profession and other industries. 

Natalie worked as part of the Human Resources team at the headquarters of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (Skadden Arps) in New York City, NY, where she designed and delivered leadership development programming and academies for firm members and found herself coaching senior managers and leaders one on one. Throughout her time in this role, Natalie observed organizations putting people with different backgrounds, perspectives, life experiences, and opinions together in highly demanding, stressful organizations, with the expectation that everything will run seamlessly – which is almost never the case.

Building upon her observations and experience, Natalie left Skadden Arps in 1997 and decided to put her efforts into creating Loeb Leadership: a company that would raise up leaders who wanted to create meaningful, trusting relationships, increase their self-awareness, and find the strength, resilience, energy, and enthusiasm to create companies that are powerful, effective, and successful. 

Natalie understands the need for people to be intentional in the way they lead and work, so that they can create workplace cultures that are inviting and inclusive and provide inspiration to do great work. She believes in the potential of everyone, and that given the right tools and guidance, anyone can achieve transformation—not just in their organizations, but in their communities, families, and personal lives, too.

Today, Natalie works with her expert team of coaches and consultants to partner with clients to address needs ranging from one-on-one leadership coaching, to custom development of company-wide management development programs, to the creation of DE&I initiatives and workplace culture transformation. Natalie often works with senior leadership members to assess current and aspiration workplace culture, increased self-awareness of leaders, new rules of engagement for how people collaborate, role definition and clarity, and streamlined work processes, among many other objectives.

Natalie received her Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, and executive coach training at Baruch College in New York City, and is certified in over 15 leadership assessment tools. She is the author of numerous articles on leadership and is a sought-after lecturer at legal conferences and law firm forums, and a speaker at several distinguished Leadership Roundtables. She is a faculty member of the Practising Law Institute (PLI) and writes a monthly column in the PLI Chronicle titled Coach’s Counsel, offering advice and guidance to the legal industry. Some of the recent virtual events she and her team have hosted include IQ vs EQ; What Lawyers Need to Know About Emotional Intelligence and Law Firm Workplace Culture – Be Smart, Build a Healthy Culture and Active Listening Skills for Lawyers.

Experience

  • Industry: Legal

    Issue: The client was struggling with retaining talent.

    Our Approach: One on one leadership coaching to increase self-awareness and enhance communication skills.

    Result: Client learned new techniques for providing feedback, managing conflict, and recognizing performance of others. This led to increased trust amongst team and increased retention and performance. Client was promoted to office leader less than two years later.

  • Industry: Legal

    Issue: Client’s team morale was low and burned out. Performance was down and turnover was up.

    Our Approach: Client was provided with one-on-one leadership coaching. Client’s team was provided with a five-session management development academy. As the client’s managers strengthened their management capabilities, the client strengthened her leadership skills.

    Result: The above programming over a 6-month period resulted in enhanced performance of the team, meeting deliverables on time, increased retention, and decreased stress.

  • Industry: Supply Chain

    Issue: Engagement scores were low due to lack of communication from leadership.

    Our Approach: We worked with the client to introduce a shared language in the firm to help increase feedback offered along with performance coaching. We also provided a series of programming offered to the new, middle, and senior managers.

    Result: Leaders gained confidence and increased two-way communication between themselves and their team members. Morale and engagement increased in the following year’s engagement survey.

  • Industry: Retail

    Issue: With the announcement of a new CEO, the CEO wanted to be sure to communicate a clear and compelling vision for the future.

    Our Approach: Coaching for the CEO and data collection from the senior leadership.

    Result: The CEO created messaging and a cadence of meetings to share her new vision for the next 1-3 years of the company. The clarity of the vision excited others and helped to build confidence in the organization’s direction. The senior leadership team offered productive ideas and strategies to help the CEO’s vision come alive.

  • Industry: Law

    Issue: The client wanted a foundational management training program for its newly elevated people managers across the firm globally.

    Our Approach: Loeb Leadership customized its award-winning management training program, Managing for Impact, to align with the firm’s expectations of its managers.

    Result: The program was delivered by a variety of facilitators across the globe to offer shared practices for managing people successfully. Participants gained invaluable management skills and tools and efficiency and cohesiveness among the team increased.
