Founded by Natalie Alesi
Natalie spent 20+ years in senior leadership, leading global teams in enterprise SaaS and legal technology and partnering with law firms and professional services organizations.
She’s lived the reorgs, the rollouts and the “quick” pivots, and she’s watched smart people stall in them. Not because they lacked skill, but because nobody ever explained what their brain was doing under pressure.
So she went and learned it: Neuroscience for Business through MIT and Wharton, and certification as a HeartMath® Certified Trainer.
Today The Interconnected Practice brings applied neuroscience to the brains behind the business, across strategic leadership, change readiness, innovation and growth, through workshops, speaking and advisory.
The goal is simple: you walk away understanding your own brain well enough to outsmart it.
Vision
A world made better,
one positive ripple at a time.
We believe the greatest advantage for any business is the positive ripple created by the people within it.
Mission
To strengthen the human advantage in every organization by helping people apply neuroscience to think clearly, decide well, and connect with everyone they lead, advise, or serve.
We believe the true mark of a leader, is their ability to create leaders, who create other leaders.
In an age of artificial intelligence, the ability to think clearly, use sound judgment and connect with others is the new competitive advantage.
Life Experience
(Off the record)
Natalie's life perspective is shaped by being:
-
Raised on a small farm with farm animals (where she learned what it means to work hard and get back up again).
-
A big sister and good hearted Jersey gal with a side of no fluff sass. (where her grit and take no 'bulls*t' came from).
-
Single mama bear to her daughter and late dog Zoe (what kept her going and drove her ambition to make the world a better place).
-
A world traveler (what gave her appreciation for different cultures and where she learned people are inherently good).
-
A hugger (to people and animals because she learned everyone needs one when life gets hard).
-
A meditator (where she learned that all we ever really need comes from within ourselves).
