Hey Everyone!

I am so happy you’re here and I’m super excited about your future.

Most people will describe me as a joyful, energetic ray of sunshine who loves Jesus and who will push you to be your best and yep, they are totally right. Whether I’m teaching, writing, or speaking, my goal is to help people live their life intentionally with the gifts, talents and abilities God has given them.

I’ve always been an educator and coach by heart. As a child, I would teach my stuffed animals and dolls their “ABCs and 123s”. Years later, I found myself pouring into the lives of children as an elementary school teacher. About thirteen years into that, I began to train and coach new teachers and student teachers.

After seeing the impact God allowed me to make on children and adults, I decided to expand my reach. I left the classroom and traveled the United States to train teachers, educators and administrators on curriculum and assessment. Working with a variety of school districts, early childhood programs and educational leaders confirmed my gift and passion which is to train, speak, lead and influence others!

So, here I am again, expanding my reach even more. Now, as a certified speaker, trainer and coach with the John Maxwell Team, I provide a variety of experiences that will help people live and lead with integrity and intentionality so that they too can add value to others. Oh, and I have not forgotten about the children. I provide developmentally appropriate experiences that teach them to do the same.

With a heart for building tween girls, I founded S.E.M.P.LY Girls. At SEMPLY Girls, our mission is to empower girls to embrace their unique worth, and nurture self-confidence. We're shaping the next generation of confident, empowered women full of faith and purpose.

Oh, and the best part about all of the above? I get to do it while I support my husband Reggie Pickett an amazing artist, art educator and the Pastor of Enlightened Church. We have the absolute honor of parenting three amazing boys and spoiling two super adorable dogs!

If you’re interested in working with me, scroll on down and check out the ways we can do just that!

Much Love,

Natalie P.
