Our full website is on its way.

We can’t always stop the first arrow

An old Buddhist teaching says that when something difficult happens, we’re struck by two arrows. The first is the event itself: the restructure, the new role, the setback nobody saw coming.

The second is the one we fire at ourselves: the worry, the self-doubt, the story we keep replaying. That second arrow is often what hurts most.

Change will always find us. With the right support, we can notice the second arrow, set it down, and choose how we respond. That’s where Second Arrow’s work begins.

How Natalie can help

Coaching and advice grounded in years of senior leadership across people, culture and organisational change.

  • Leadership coaching

    One-on-one coaching for leaders who want to lead with more clarity, confidence and intention, especially when stepping into a new role or leading under pressure.

  • Navigating change

    Support for leaders and teams through restructures, transformation and growth, so change becomes something you steer rather than something that happens to you.

  • Wellbeing & performance

    Practical approaches to workplace wellbeing, informed by positive psychology, that treat wellbeing as a driver of performance rather than a perk.
