Noam’s journey
Noam has been working with emotions and emotional intelligence (EQ) for the past two decades.
Noam’s life began in a kibbutz in Israel, a collective community that was traditionally based on agriculture. Noam felt his unique childhood experience was a utopia in its own way, as a child he had the freedom, the vitamin D on his skin, the community… but it was lacking in other ways too.
Growing in a children’s group structure rather than the traditional family structure had its own challenges, however, he didn’t yet have the resources to deal with these feelings. Instead, Noam would escape into his head and use his imagination to conjure up something different. He grew up with the idea that ‘we are the change we want to make and see’ and we need to take initiative to create our vision. This in part, created the man he is today.
Noam arrives to his work of therapy and coaching from an established business career, ranging from academic to tech and to becoming a VP at MSN. Noam enjoyed his time at Microsoft, and whilst lots of traveling and seeing the world was a bonus, over time he felt increasingly emotionally trapped and restricted. The higher he climbed the ladder, the further he was getting away from his true self. He discovered the concept of emotional agility, and this resonated with him deeply. Eventually, Noam decided to leave Microsoft in pursuit of something more.
Noam felt it was important to reconnect with himself and decided to retrain as a psychotherapist with the Chiron Association for Body Psychotherapy in London. Noam’s desire to support people in both the corporate world and individually in life became full time in 2006. Noam’s training and further studies in coaching deepened and enriched his knowledge of, and expertise in, individuals’ behaviour patterns, limitations and blockages, to support and facilitate a process of growth and development.
