Reading people is the business, leadership and life skill you can’t afford not to master.
Natalie Waters has had an extraordinary, unique career with many unseen twists and turns, all of which have come from taking risks and looking out for opportunities.
Profiled as a "risk taker", Natalie went from being owner of a sea kayak adventure business, to become the only female as part of a heavily armed Boarding party, patrolling the Southern Ocean for Australian Customs.
This dangerous and male-dominated role also saw her patrolling the top end of Australia in the fight against drug trafficking & illegal immigration.
Over the next 13 years Natalie took up various government roles both in Australia and the Middle East such as running Hostage Negotiation Course for Special Forces Units as well as working with Prime Ministers and body guarding for The Queen.
Working in various government intelliegence roles as well as Facilitating Hostage Negotiation training for the UAE’s Special Forces, has given Natalie an in-depth understanding of the different behavioural types in the law enforcement space, which has provided her with the interest to become a specialist in Human Behaviour and Behavioural Profiling.
Natalie’s passion is passing on these highly impacting Behavioural Profiling skills within Corporate and Business to enable greater understanding and awareness into why we do what we do. She also works with assisting Individuals and Businesses in growing and improving their overall performance to reach their potential.
Her approach to life is with adventure and variety. Natalie lives on the Sunshine Coast with her husband and her 14-year-old daughter.
A sought-after speaker who is ‘just that little bit different’ and inspires and connects with any industry and organisation.

Natalie is truly inspiring and a wonderful example to everyone, young and old of how resilient a person can be. Natalie was our conference dinner speaker and I feel her presentation resonated with everyone in the room. She took the time to connect with us before the event to find out what we wanted from our dinner speaker. Natalie then took the time after her presentation to connect with the audience one-on-one. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Natalie :)
