Noella gives leaders a sharper, more honest picture of what's holding their organizations back, and the clarity to move forward.
Why Book Noella
You've sat through the talk that gets a standing ovation and changes nothing. You're the one who has to book the next one anyway.
I don't do that talk.
I say the things most speakers won't, because I instill ownership before I encourage change. People recognize themselves in the conversation. And then — this is the part I care about — they feel the relief of finally understanding the root cause of their challenge, because a problem you can name is a problem you can fix.
I leave audiences with language for what's happening to their organization, and the first move toward closing the gap.
People leave my talks with a way forward they’re excited to own.
Talk 1: The Fundability Gap
For small and medium sized nonprofits that keep losing grants they should be winning, who are ready to understand why.
Talk 2: The Invisible Offer
For mission-driven organizations who are tired of losing their best people, and ready to hear what's really driving them out.
