About the Speakers:
Abbi Buszard
Abbi has been running her own coaching business for the last 6 years, and prior to that she spent 15 years at Cadbury and Diageo in commercial and then leadership roles. Like a labrador, she loves people, so sometimes it’s a bit weird she works for herself. Coaching has been a revelation – to finally have a word for the thing she loves doing – making space and partnering with others to learn. She now works with individuals, teams and organisations of all shapes and sizes, although the scrappy challenger ones who want to change the world are her favourite. Hopefully all that corporate experience paid off – she now knows how to avoid the bs traps while still navigating the system. She brings curiosity, energy and a sense of playfulness to her work, but she’s not afraid to go wherever is needed. Outside of work she has a husband with an annoyingly keen commitment to cycling (which he considers a partner activity), a wise and motivated 18 year old stepdaughter and a bonkers 5 year old who loves art, rainbows and princesses. Abbi is also in the final throes of an MSc in Coaching & Behavioural Change, so she knows what it’s like to feel intimidated by learning. Her research will be finished in summer 2024 and she plans to celebrate by lying down.
Natalie Villarroel Redureau
Natalie (Nat) is a Coach and Facilitator, passionate about helping teams overcome their challenges with creativity, compassion, and courage. She dedicated her MSc in Coaching & Behavioural Change dissertation to those limiting their potential due to a strong Inner Critic.
In a past life, Nat led cross-disciplinary teams to create campaigns for major brands at top advertising agencies in London, Melbourne, and Sydney. Though she left that industry, her love for ideas, boundary-pushing, and herding cats remains strong.
As a first-generation Australian born to Chilean parents who fled as refugees in the 1970s, Nat understands what it’s like to be made to feel like an outsider. This experience has fuelled her belief for people, leaders especially, to be themselves and drive for inclusion and diversity. Nat currently lives in Switzerland with her husband, who understands her Franglish and together they enjoy climbing tall rocks.
