Workshops: Professionals & Leaders
Noa’s workshops are interactive and dynamic with customized hands-on learning opportunities to address your professional and organizational goals.
Noa brought her storytelling expertise to one of the most interesting and unique diversity workshops that I have ever attended. Under her guidance, a roomful of men and women shared stories and by the end of the workshop I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and connection to people I had met just two hours before.
