Hi! I'm Natalie Gray. As your Executive Coach for Climate, I’m a personalized sounding board toward your impact on climate & people systems – and the wellspring of patience, hope, and motivation you'll need to make that impact.
No matter where you are in your climate career, you're the executive of your life path. Bring me your organizational and quality of life goals, scalability dreams, and research questions (even existential)!
Together, we'll operationalize the climate future that is the imperative of our generation.
The bulk of my working relationships are of underrepresented ethnic & gender identities in business leadership. We need everyone!
To fast-track our successful climate efforts, I offer pro-bono consultations and sliding scale pricing to allow you to invest in yourself at a rate that works for you at this chapter in your life.
Here is what I’ve co-created with and for these other climate execs:
Coaching Sessions [1 pro-bono/year]
Climate Career Coaching: Craft your climate career strategy.
"What's my next step?": Get unstuck! Evaluate the priorities coming across your plate and hone your game plan.
Resume Review: Edit together in real-time, then take away your fresh job-securing tool.
Interview Prep: Polish your interview skills to confidently build new business relationships.
Multi-week projects
Annual Strategic Plans: Organize your big-picture goals into operational (and delegatable) next steps to present to your team for their buy-in.
The Rhythm of Business: Chart your year’s executive activities, then transfer those themes to your calendar of choice so that you are confident you’re dedicating time to achieve your big-picture goals as weeks progress.
Public Communications Strategies: Ensure the public-facing materials (websites, social media, one-pagers, visual comms guides) for your initiative are consistent and effective.
Knowledge Management Systems: Streamline your team’s information into a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate library that can expand with your new collections – using systems you already have!
Onboarding Programs: Clarify what sequence of topics to present (and what team members to involve) in your new hires' first couple of weeks to let them hit the ground running.
Team Workflows: Map your client interaction cycle, answer what information flows where at what time, then allow your softwares to execute as much as they should so that your team can do what they’re passionate about. This makes it easy to tweak these systems across the team in the future.
For these and other topics on your mind, I'm the 'friend-with-good-advice' towards your next step in climate.
Let's take a look at the systems you'd like to shift and the decisions you'll make to do it.

"Natalie brings a rare combination of operational precision and deep emotional intelligence. She understands how systems work, how people function within those systems, and how to design processes that are both effective and human-centered. Whether it's managing complex learning design or consulting on strategic projects, she makes the work feel collaborative and values-driven.

"Working with Natalie over the past several years has been an absolute privilege. Since we first connected in 2018 at Omnidian, she’s consistently shown up as a sharp, dependable, and multidimensional collaborator. Her ability to think both analytically and creatively sets her apart—she can strategize at a high level while also rolling up her sleeves to get the work done.
"She’s not just an incredible in-office teammate. Behind the scenes, she shows up. Natalie has put boots on the ground for garden projects, supported hands-on community events, and helped administrative teams stay aligned and mission-focused. She does all of this with humility and a genuine desire to serve—not to center herself, but to contribute in ways that elevate others and the collective mission.
"What I especially admire about Natalie is her discernment. She knows when to lead and when to listen. She can take the reins confidently when needed, but she also reads the room and integrates herself in ways that are supportive rather than overpowering. This sense of timing and emotional calibration is part of what makes her such a valuable asset to any team.
"Every project Natalie chooses is intentional and rooted in values that prioritize people, planet, and long-term systemic impact. She doesn’t just work in sustainability; she lives it. The content she helps create and the strategies she advances are aligned with that deeper calling.
"Any organization would be fortunate to have Natalie. She brings thoughtfulness, skill, integrity, and a relentless drive to see meaningful work done well—and done right. She embodies the future of work: collaborative, purposeful, and unafraid to challenge norms while holding space for others."
