Experiential, practical sessions designed for real teams facing real challenges
1 hour experiential lecture
An experiential lecture for global teams working across Israel and the U.S. Turn cultural friction into trust, clarity, and stronger performance.
Global teams fail less because of strategy and more because of unspoken cultural misunderstandings: directness mistaken for rudeness, diplomacy read as avoidance, speed confused with chaos, and structure seen as rigidity.
Outcome: Clearer communication, reduced friction, and more effective collaboration across borders.
1 hour leadership lecture
A thoughtful leadership perspective for International Women's Day. Non-linear leadership rooted in inner clarity, relational intelligence, and navigating complexity.
This lecture offers a thoughtful leadership perspective that combines contemporary leadership theory, real organizational experience, and a non-linear model of leadership inspired by women's cycles and systems thinking.
It speaks to leadership as a practice rooted in inner clarity, relational intelligence, and the ability to navigate complexity—rather than focusing on inspiration alone.
Two short, well-contained reflective moments that engage the audience without requiring group sharing or workshop-style participation, making it effective and comfortable for diverse audiences.
Outcome: Participants leave with clear language, insight, and a conceptual framework they can continue to use in their professional lives.
1.5 hour interactive workshop
A practical, experiential workshop for everyday negotiations. Harvard Kennedy School frameworks adapted to Israeli workplace culture.
Negotiation is no longer limited to sales or procurement. Employees negotiate daily: priorities, salaries, deadlines, resources, hybrid work, boundaries, and even personal commitments that affect performance.
Yet most people approach negotiation intuitively, emotionally, or defensively—often escalating conflict instead of creating movement.
Instead of teaching negotiation as persuasion or "winning", the workshop reframes it as navigation: How do you move forward when interests clash, emotions run high, or power is uneven?
Outcome: More confident, clear, and effective in difficult conversations—at work and beyond.
Theory meets practice. Harvard-trained insights adapted to real organizational challenges.
No generic lectures. Live simulations, reflections, and tools you can apply immediately.
Deep experience bridging Israeli and American work cultures with authenticity.
Meaningful insights over inspiration. Content that respects your intelligence.
Tools and frameworks you can use the next day, not abstract concepts.
Designed for the Israeli workplace while honoring global best practices.
