"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

When Natasha Nishimwe (Save the Children International) stepped into a new role in a global team, she felt like an imposter. But by taking action through coaching, she unlocked her confidence, overcame self-doubt and stepped into new professional opportunities.

Guided by Charlotte Balfour-Poole, Head of Coaching at the Humanitarian Leadership Academy, Natasha’s story is a powerful example of how coaching can help humanitarians to break barriers, challenge self-doubt, and take action toward their goals.

In this episode released for International Women's Day 2025, Natasha opens up about the challenges she faced and finding work/life balance as a working mother.

Tune in and hear how coaching can be a powerful tool for fostering resilience, confidence and growth:

Why is trust so central to the coaching relationship?
What does imposter syndrome feel like, a phenomenon that more commonly affects women in the workplace?
What can happen when we challenge our limiting beliefs?
How can coaching reshape leadership in the humanitarian sector?
