Who is Nathalie Arteel?

Nathalie Arteel is a leading voice in Belgium and beyond on self-leadership, positive mindset and appreciative business culture. As an entrepreneur, mentor and keynote speaker, she helps leaders and organisations transform from the inside out so that growth becomes more effortless, sustainable and fulfilling.

She believes real impact happens where love, awareness and high performance come together. For her, leadership is not a function, but a way of being.
And what sets leaders apart today is their ability to lead with intention and positive energy rather than pressure and control.

Nathalie advocates leadership that connects, clarifies and enriches: a form of holistic leadership where head, heart and soul give direction together. Where leaders not only create results, but also space. For themselves, for their team, for growth at every level.

Her own path is living proof that leadership starts with yourself. She grew up in challenging circumstances, but learned to lead herself from within. Today, she inspires thousands of people with that same strength.

Together with her husband Yves, she built Arteel into a European market leader in valuation solutions, active in more than 40 countries. By 2024, their programmes reached more than 250,000 employees. Arteel was awarded the SME Laureate prize and received wide media coverage, including in De Tijd. Arteel's technology and methodology are included in the Reward & Recognition master class at Vlerick Business School.

In 2025, Nathalie launched the leadership movement Rise Beyond Limits, including an inspiring series on Kanaal Z on positive leadership, energy and mental resilience.

She is a certified High Performance Coach (Brendon Burchard), top international consultant in Thinking into Results (Bob Proctor) and author of the book Dare, Live & Undertake. She was previously nominated for the Womed Award, designated as an ambassador for female entrepreneurship by the European Commission and selected as the only Belgian finalist for the Woman in Sales Award in London.

What sets her apart?
She embodies what she brings.
From mindset to mission. From vision to vitality.
She lives consciously, leads with energy and makes others remember who they really are.

These are some quotes that best describe her:
“A healthy mind in a healthy body”
'High performance is not an accident. It's the result of dedication, relentless effort, and a mindset focused on constant improvement'
'What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create'
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra”
“Gratitude is a magnet for miracles”

  • How do you become a healthy, happy and successful person?

    During this keynote, Nathalie uses her personal story to offer you three important insights into what you can do to improve your quality of life, both professionally and privately. How you can truly realise the ambition you cherish and how you can develop more long-term energy than the average person.

    How you can improve your productivity and how you can positively influence people, in order to build strong relationships at every level.

    Nathalie always thought that good health, happiness and success was only intended for ‘the happy few’, and that it was a question of being ‘lucky’. But that couldn't be further from the truth... she now says: “We have a lot more control than we actually realise. It all comes down to using the right method to create the right habits. Working hard, by itself, is not enough to take your life to the next level.”

  • How can people feel truly connected to your organisation and thus give the best of themselves?

    Nathalie's keynote takes a closer look at three essential factors that are needed to build a positive business culture, and which simple things you can start with. The more that people feel appreciated and connected, the stronger their engagement. Even though people have never earned as much as they do today, most companies are still unable to truly bind people to their organisations. They are often unable to motivate their employees to give the best of themselves and show greater responsibility and ownership. Values tend to be hung on walls, but often don’t touch the hearts of employees.

    Arteel: “It took me a long time too to build a positive culture in my own organisation. That was until we decided to completely change course around 15 years ago. We now help other companies to build a positive culture so that people enjoy coming to work every day. Appreciation is the key word in this. Our customer portfolio includes 82% of Belgium's best employers.”

I first met Nathalie on the Vlerick HR Day in 2017, where she gave one of her speeches.
Nathalie has a natural flair when it comes to addressing her audience. By honestly bringing her own personal story, she puts herself in a vulnerable position – something which, in the end, makes the message she wants to put across all the more authentic and powerful! Nathalie is a strong woman who has accomplished a lot in her life. But she is not hesitant to make it very clear that the road to success can sometimes be a rocky one, requiring persistence and perseverance. Listening to Nathalie is a true delight: both her story and the way in which she brings it, give you the energy to start chasing your own dreams too.

I not only know Nathalie as a fantastic entrepreneur, but also as a gifted speaker. She masters the art of fascinating, animating and involving the audience. She was thus the ideal person to introduce our ‘Daikin Blue Stars’ intern Recognition Program to all colleagues during the kick-off event. Considering the many positive reactions, her performance was a great success!

I am pleased to hear that you also received positive reactions from the students. The colleagues I spoke to were also pleased, and were particularly impressed by how your personal approach managed to silence the whole room.

Dare, Live and Be Entrepreneurial. That is the message that Nathalie Arteel shared with everyone who participated in Women In Finance on 21/9. She talked passionately about her life, the obstacles that she managed to overcome and how every woman can learn to be happy in the roles that she personally chooses – whether that involves being a mother, partner, manager or employee. About how everyone on the planet can have a positive impact on the people around them. An inspirational keynote by an inspirational woman.
