I help entrepreneurs make money. A client raised $500k in 8 weeks / Another grew his business to 9M customers / Another made became #30 most viewed TED talk of all time (1) RAISE MONEY FROM INVESTORS / ANGELS / VCs My fastest client was running an augmented reality company and raised $600k within a week of changing their pitch deck. Another client approached with me an idea that was still just a concept, and within 9 months later he raised $750k. (2) DELIVER A WORLD CLASS TED TALK / KEYNOTE I coached Esther Perel to deliver one of the 30th most viewed TED talk of all time with 8,400,000 views. She came back to me to help with her 2nd TED talk, which is already in the top 60 with 5,600,000 views. (3) GROW YOUR BUSINESS / BUILD YOUR BRAND A client started a business while at university. He had no idea how to speak with retailers and big businesses. Within 3 months of working together, he secured a deal with one of UK's biggest retailer. Within another few months he made it to their top 10 Christmas presents list. Another client went from having an idea and no clients to having a full practice. Within 18 months of working together, she got interviewed on national television and had full page articles about her work in national papers. ******************************************************************************* I help people create masterpieces. My speciality is creating magic in life. Here's some of the magic I created in my life: SPORTS - After practicing judo for 10 years and winning the medal at the Brussels Championship, I received the highest score on my black belt exam. PUBLIC SPEAKING - After delivering over 1,000 days of workshops and public speaking, I received the UK Business Speaker of the Year Award runner up, and was invited at TED for the 2nd time. BOOK WRITING - I was invited to speak at Harvard about entrepreneurship because they got hold of my 3rd book. The same year, the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC made my first book required reading. PHOTOGRAPHY - I spent my entire life doing art, and in 2014 the European Commission invited me to exhibit my photography at their Innovation Conference. BUSINESS COACHING - I worked with over 25,000 people from all over the world and many times, I took massive risks to do what I love. As a result, I was invited to showcase my work in the Coaching Movie and to co-host a monthly radio show on VoiceAmerica for health & wellness entrepreneurs . "The pitch went great! We're just selected for the semi-finals!! Best 20 startups of 13,000 now!" - Jouri Schoemaker, co-founder at Shake-On. ******************************************************************************* "It was so refreshing to hear someone be honest about their experience in business! I've been very keen to get back into running my own business and he has helped me reconfirmed that I should!" James Mitchell - Tenders for Construction "During that hour and a half Noam asked great questions that cut straight to the core of my business, our services, vision and direction. He was able to quickly change my perspective on elements of my business, and offer great advice on new ways to monetize. Noam's thought processes, and the pace with which he can generate sound advice is unparalleled by another other business consultant I've met. I will definitely be approaching Noam for future projects." Kevin Waller - Founder and CEO at Juice.me More on www.noam.wtf

In the many year that I have worked for international (tech) companies I have managed to gain beautiful experiences. However I have to admit that I would have loved some help and advice once in a while. I have lead teams as small as 5 and up to 130+ people which all kind of skills, backgrounds and ideas. Now that I have this experience I would love to give back and be that someone that I have missed in the past. My true passion lies with people and because of that I have specialized in leadership. What I have noticed is that connecting with people makes the most difference within a company. They can help you move mountains and achieve the seemingly impossible... as long as you know how to enable that. They say:"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." and being a leader enables you to use this skill and get the most out of people not because they have to but because they want to. And to me there is no greater satisfaction than to see people grow.
