French/West/Vaughan’s Natalie Best: ‘There is always a silver lining’

What’s the most important tool for your worklife? What about the tools that have helped you stay healthy during the remote work revolution?

For French/West/Vaughan’s chief operating officer, the addition of a Peloton bike was a big help. We spoke with Natalie Best to get her thoughts about how she works in the current era of uncertainty and change, what she’s doing to adapt and how she sees the future.

Here’s what she had to say as part of our ongoing “Day in the Life” series:

1. What’s the first thing you do every day when you wake up?

Best: I read the headlines and critical news outlets from overnight with an eye for what our clients are seeing. Then, I workout and exercise as early as possible in the morning before the day gets off and running.

2. Who is the most important person you talk to every day?

Best: I have a teen and a tween, so talking to my kids in a present way is critical. Hearing what’s on their minds and how they are viewing this complicated world we are living in is the priority. There is tremendous pressure and yet great privilege to being a parent in 2021.
