Biography
Certified Speaking Professional CSP®, recipient of the Most Empowering Confidence Coach in North America Award in 2023 and 2021 Canadian Presenter of the Year, Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas is a Confidence Expert, specializing in Performance and Change. She is the author of 18 books, including 12 no.1 bestsellers and a book co-written with Kevin Harrington from The Shark Tank, endorsed by Tony Robbins and Brian Tracy. She is the Founder and CEO of the THINK Yourself® ACADEMY, offering keynotes and pieces of training, leading-edge online courses, laser-focus business strategy, and one-on-one transformation coaching.
She has inspired over 100,000 audience members internationally over the past two decades with her high-energy and dynamic presentation style, teaching neurosciences in laymen’s terms. She is known for her use of metaphors, hilarious stories and fun interactive segments to teach how the brain works, how people use it wrong, and what to do to make it work for you.
She provides custom-made content for each presentation, immersing herself in the audience’s world with hundreds of questions for the meeting organizer, to amplify the impact of the message as they recognize their reality in the stories, content, and examples.
She is not only captivating and entertaining, she provides simple and concrete tools for the audience to implement the knowledge right away into their daily lives. Most meeting professionals acknowledge that one of the most common challenges is not that they can’t find eloquent speakers with a high level of expertise. It is easy to find experts. The challenge is the fact that a month later when you ask the audience what they remember from the keynote speaker, most have already forgotten. Nathalie provides a multi-touch-points-follow-up approach that will ensure the transformation happens at a deeper neurological level and a longer-term impact.
Being a brain nerd, she likes numbers. She always surveys her audience before and after to provide stats on her level of impact so that you can measure your return on investment ROI. On average, the audience’s confidence increases 170% after her keynote. She also measures the long-term impact a month later for message retention and application of the concepts and tools.
She combines over 10 years of experience in human resources, 25 years of experience in sales, and over 35 years of distinguished service in the fitness industry. In 2007, she was Canada’s Fitness Instructor of the Year. She is Vice-President of the national board of directors of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers CAPS and received the 2022 and 2023 President’s Awards.

KEYNOTES
LIGHT UP YOUR INNER FIRE
Confidence to Ignite Performance, Thrive through Change & Unlock Full Potential.
On the surface, most people are reasonably confident. But the challenge is: there has never been a time when things were happening faster than today. Juggling with multiple challenges at once is common. With the layers of stress people are already buried under, high-stakes decisions are sometimes clouded by emotional drama or limiting beliefs, instead of being made based on skills and experience.
Studies reveal that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence in at least one area of their lives.
“It’s never going to work! I will never reach my target numbers! No way I can apply for this leadership position!”
Negative self-talk adds an extra layer of self-doubt which creates procrastination, resistance to change, stress, anxiety, and burnout. These feelings of powerlessness, frustration, and insecurity lead to low overall performance. Bottom line: whether on a personal or professional level, most people admit to not working—or living—at their full potential.
“If you don’t learn to control your thoughts & emotions, they will control you!”
Nathalie’s keynote LIGHT UP YOUR INNER FIRE is engaging, fun and provides mind blowing neuroscience in layman’s terms on how people use their brain wrong and proven strategies to make it work for you. Explore the impact of negative self-talk on your goals and gain practical strategies to overcome self-sabotage and transform your inner dialogue to unlock your full potential!

Subtitle: Strategies to Transform Stress, Overwhelm, Self-Sabotage, and Negative Self-Talk to Thrive Under Pressure and Change.
In today’s fast-paced business world, professionals face a multitude of challenges, making quick, high-stakes decisions. Change is constant. Highly experienced professionals that could do their job with their eyes closed are finding themselves in overwhelm mode. Struggling with uncertainty impacts their ability to learn new skills or adapt to change.
“This is so uncomfortable. I’ve never done that before. It’s never going to work.”
Stress and panic can impair performance and productivity, leading to disengagement, absenteeism and may even result in burnout, affecting both individuals and the company’s bottom line. It’s not really people’s fault. The brain loves repetition and generalization. It is hardwired to resist change.
“The brain perceives change as a threat and generates pain comparable to when receiving a punch in the face.”
TURN OFF THE PANIC BUTTON provides insights into stress management, identifying avoidable worries, understanding stress’s brain mechanisms, and employing coping strategies. Equipped with specific tools and strategies to focus thoughts and control emotional loops, the change experience is far less stressful. This new gained confidence allows to turn off the panic button and thrive under pressure.

Title: GET INTO ACTION
Subtitle: Understanding and Conquering Procrastination, Overthinking, Bad Habits and Imposter Syndrome.
In the fast-paced business world, stressors like imposter syndrome, overthinking, bad habits and procrastination can severely hinder productivity and job satisfaction.
“Studies reveal that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence, while 70% admit to experiencing imposter syndrome at work. “
Imposter syndrome, marked by feelings of fraudulence and inadequacy, undermines confidence and stifles initiative, leading to missed opportunities and career stagnation. Overthinking traps individuals in analysis paralysis, delaying decision-making and compromising quality, while procrastination and bad habits breeds rushed work, missed deadlines, and heightened stress levels.
“Research demonstrates that we lose on average 2.5 hours per day in this kind of emotional drama.”
For an organization of 100 employees, at an average of $30 per hour, this translates to a $1,800,000 loss per year. People know what they want or need to do, and yet, sometimes, they do the reverse or do nothing at all, sending the ball over to someone else, wasting valuable time and energy.
GET INTO ACTION explores the reasons behind overthinking, bad habits, imposter syndrome, and procrastination. You will better understand how to break free from these toxic cycles and take action toward achieving your goals. You will leave with practical strategies to implement immediately that will contribute to cultivating environments conducive to innovation, productivity, and well-being.

• Why do we procrastinate, overthink, self-sabotage?
• What causes imposter syndrome?
• Types of procrastination.
• Four stages of learning.
