Biography

Nataly Kogan is a serial entrepreneur, artist, and leading expert on change and reinvention. She is the creator of REINVENT•ABILITY™ , the neuroscience-backed mindset framework that helps leaders shift from resisting change to using it as their catalyst to grow into who they’re truly capable of becoming.

Nataly Kogan built her expertise from the inside out. She came to the United States at 13 as a refugee from the Soviet Union — no English, no money, starting over in the projects outside Detroit. She learned to speak English by watching Who’s The Boss? on TV.

She went on to build a career spanning McKinsey, Microsoft, venture capital, and five tech startups — including Happier, one of the world’s first gratitude platforms, which reached over one million people. But at the peak of her success, Nataly burned out. That burnout became the catalyst for her most important reinvention — and for the REINVENT•ABILITY™ Framework she now brings to leaders and organizations navigating their hardest moments of change. Nataly’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and Forbes.

She is the best-selling author of Happier Now, The Awesome Human Project, and The Awesome Human Journal, and hosts the Dare Yourself podcast. At 40, she picked up a paintbrush for the first time. At 50, she had her first international solo show in Mexico City. Her art and her work share the same core belief: reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more of who you truly are. Nataly does not believe patience is a virtue, loves bold colors, and proudly holds the title of funniest person in her family — a distinction her husband and daughter have never once disputed.

WORKSHOP: The REINVENT•ABLE™ Mindset: A leadership workshop experience. Change as the catalyst for growth

In a world of relentless change—where AI is reshaping how we live and work—resilience alone is no longer enough. The leaders and teams who thrive aren’t the ones who manage change best. They’re the ones who use it to grow and expand into their fullest potential and impact.

That is the capability this workshop builds: REINVENT•ABILITY™ — applied to real leadership challenges, in real time. The day follows a single arc: Awareness → Clarity → Action. Leaders don’t just leave with insight. They leave with a real shift already underway.

The Five Step R E I N V E N T • A B I L I T Y ™ Framework

  1. Anchor in Your Zone of Greatness
    Identify the intersection of your strengths, what energizes you, and where you create your deepest impact — so you lead from alignment and purpose, not pressure.
  2. Envision What’s Possible
    Break the brain’s habit of focusing on obstacles. Build a Map of Possibilities — expanding what your mind allows you to pursue.
  3. Challenge Limiting Beliefs
    Surface the beliefs shaping your choices and rewrite the ones keeping you anchored to the past instead of expanding toward your future.
  4. Act to Learn
    Clarity doesn’t come before action — it comes from it. Take small, intentional steps that create momentum and transform doubt into confidence.
  5. Experiment & Evolve
    Treat every challenge as data. Build the capacity to prototype, adapt, and keep moving without waiting for a perfect outcome.
The Dare Yourself Experience™

Every workshop closes with the Dare Yourself™ activation. Each leader receives a custom Dare Card and writes down one bold action they dare themselves to take. When they email it to Nataly, she follows up a week later, creating powerful accountability.

Add-On: The Dare Canvas™

The Dare Canvas™ is an interactive experience that turns the workshop’s core message into something people can see, touch, and take with them. Nataly guides participants to contribute to a large collective canvas, mirroring exactly what they just learned about taking action without having a plan or feeling confident. The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that can be cut so each person takes a piece home, or live permanently in your office as a reminder of what this team created together.

Available as an add-on to the workshop or as a standalone experience for offsites and retreats.
