“Having people understand the business of their business is critical to success. No one guides people through a path of understanding better than Noah Barsky. He combines intelligence and expertise with common sense and practical insight.”

— Mark Jesty, COO, Excellence Squared Ltd.

“We have been working with Noah for over 5 years on various learning programs and leadership trainings on a global scale. Noah has been a wonderful counselor, thought-partner and facilitator for our global community. His empathy, experience and expertise in people development allowed our senior leaders to successfully reflect and expand on their leadership style and communication preferences.”

— Marco Hoenig, People & Professional Development Leader, Ernst & Young

“Noah has been an exceptional partner to me across a number of projects, but his standout contribution during my time at the NBA was to the design and facilitation of the league’s strategic leadership development curriculum (a.k.a. the “NBA MBA”). Though our emerging leaders and executives varied greatly in their formal business experience, they uniformly raved about Noah’s unique ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging to a wide range of learners (and that was just his work at the front of the room!). The award-winning initiative helped establish the NBA as the industry leader in talent development, and I expect the gains in business acumen and strategic insight to pay dividends for the league for many years to come.”

— Mike Kennedy, Principal and Learning & Development Practice Area Leader, Human Advantage

“Noah is able to take his content and customize it to the organization’s needs. He delivers concepts in a way that simplifies the most complex concepts into a means that everyone can appreciate and learn. The programs that Noah facilitated in our organization, a large global pharma company, ALWAYS had the highest ratings and longest waiting lists.”
