As the founder of Ventura County Business Women, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Natalie Lehman over the past year, and her impact on our organization has been nothing short of transformative. Natalie took the time to understand the entire scope of our vision—from our foundational structure to our long-term objectives—then strategically filled in the gaps to help us build a stronger, more sustainable business model. Her ability to see the big picture, coupled with her remarkable attention to detail, ensured that every element of our plan was thoroughly considered. On top of that, she introduced us to invaluable resources and high-level connections, enabling our community to grow and thrive faster than we ever could have imagined.

Beyond her professional expertise, Natalie’s energy, emotional intelligence, and unwavering commitment to possibility have profoundly influenced both me and the women in our community. She has not only led events and provided critical support for our members’ businesses, but she has also served as a powerful role model—demonstrating what it means to be a healthy, dynamic businesswoman and community leader. I’ve seen firsthand how her values guide her personal life and how that authenticity translates into her work: she researches solutions diligently, owns what she doesn’t know, and follows through on every promise. I trust her recommendations, value her insights, and appreciate her friendship. Natalie truly embodies the bridge between personal and professional development, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any organization seeking to empower its members and create a lasting impact.
