His expert presentation on motivation and leadership, as well as New Work and organizational development, received some of the highest ratings in our NPS score. In addition, Niv won a lot of appreciation thanks to his friendly and down-to-earth manner. We will certainly continue working with him, and I am very happy to recommend him as a coach and speaker.”
