Keynotes
Forget the boring, uninspired lecture!
Noa will bring her passion, energy, and insight to your group in the form of these inspirational keynote presentations.
Even in the short time she had as a speaker, she had the audience interacting with each other in ways that were unlike anything I’d experienced before.
