What people are saying…

  • "Yoel built quick relationships with students in our boarding program due to his authentic and genuine nature. He saw the best in all students and came into the space with a clear purpose. Yoel was encouraging of all to join in and push boundaries in a safe way. He set clear expectations with our young fellas. The focus on wellbeing was positive and the impact has been reflected in the young fellas behaviour and growth in their social and emotional literacy."

    Jye Strugnell - Head of Indigenous and Boarding Education at Haileybury Rendall School

  • "Yoel is a wonderful educator who has made a lasting positive impact on our school. He has a profound understanding of how to meaningfully empower students and colleagues alike to develop their leadership capacity and to connect deeply with their purpose and sense of identity. He infuses his programming with a depth of meaning while simultaneously presenting this with his trademark humour and sense of fun. His strong understanding of organisational culture and ability to promote this, would benefit any organisation."

    Marc Light - Principal of The King David School

  • "Yoel was incredible to work with. He took my vision for Hide N Seek and brought it to life with consistency, efficiency, and unwavering support. His guidance throughout the educational program's development and facilitation was invaluable. After just six weeks, Yoel became a vital part of the Hide N Seek team."

    Jaimee Krawitz - CEO of Hide N Seek Foundation

Whether you're looking for strategic advice, pedagogical support, or simply a trusted sounding board, Yoel is an excellent option for any business or school."

    Elliot Newman - Co-Founder at Wellio

  • "Yoel brings a huge amount of energy to every team he works with. He is a transformative leader and I learned so much working alongside him. His facilitation methods are both unique and creative. He truly is a leader within the Australian experiential education space."

    Asher Myerson - Teacher at The King David School

  • "Yoel is an expert educator and even more proficient guide and mentor. Having had the pleasure of learning from and sharing a classroom with Yoel, my leadership and educational skills have improved greatly thanks to learning his engagement strategies for the classroom. Students have been lucky to benefit from the creativity of Yoel’s teaching methods and expertise which I encourage all teachers to apply to their own classrooms!"

    Ethan Cohen - Experiential Educator

  • "Before working with Yoel, we knew what we wanted our Bnei Mitzvah (rites of passage) program to stand for, but hadn’t yet fully brought it to life. After working with Yoel, our program feels meaningful, relevant, and something our community will truly connect with both now and in the future. It now offers an intentional journey for our young people and their families, rooted in Kolenu’s values and spirit."

    Naomi Bagle-Zevin - Community Director of Kehilat Kolenu

  • "In planning a Young Leaders Conference we knew what content we wanted to get across to our participant group and we knew it had to be engaging and active - but we had no real idea of how to integrate these aims into a day-long workshop. Once we had Yoel on board, he listened to our objectives, worked with us to refine content and packaged that into three engaging and meaningful workshop sessions. His planning work, attention to detail and his exceptional facilitation exceeded our expectations in capturing the interest of a diverse group of participants. Yoel displayed high EQ in bridging cultural and age differences, and was professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with."
