The Story Behind the Energy
My journey of service and resilience started early. From tutoring children and assisting the elderly during high school to becoming an officer in the Israeli army, I have always chosen paths that challenge the norm and call for courage and service. Arriving in the United States with just $600 and a determination to make a difference, I carved a path focused on contribution, growth, and impact.
My career in education as a teacher and Education Director sharpened my skills in managing teams, building engaging curricula, and creating meaningful experiences—all of which fueled my passion for leadership development and the art of effective communication. Today, these experiences enrich every talk I give, making my sessions relatable, practical, and impactful.
Why Your Audience Will Remember Me?
As a certified Positive Intelligence® expert and author of the bestselling book Moments of the Heart, and Choose To Be Your Champion, I combine energy, humor, and science-backed strategies to create experiences that stick.
I’ve brought this approach to more than 25 major conferences and organizations like MDRT, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Standard Insurance, working with C-suite executives, HR professionals, and team leaders who want more than inspiration—they want measurable change.
My sessions move audiences from disconnection to engagement, giving them practical tools to boost resilience, mental fitness, and performance long after the applause ends. And because I believe every “Oy” moment holds the seed of joy, participants leave not only motivated, but equipped to champion it in their work and lives.
