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

  • “Before working with Yoel, I had a strong idea and deep passion for creating the Eating Disorder Recovery Ambassador Program, but I wasn’t sure how to turn it into a structured, deliverable model. After working with Yoel, my idea was transformed into a clear, evidence-informed program that has now been successfully delivered into multiple schools.”

    Jaimee Krawitz - CEO of Hide N Seek Foundation

  • "With a wealth of knowledge, and a remarkable talent for simplifying difficult concepts and making them easily actionable, Yoel is a brilliant partner and advisor. 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."

    New Zealand Jewish Council  - Young Leaders Conference team

  • “When I first arrived at the school, Jewish Life felt like a work in progress with great potential. Over the five years I worked with Yoel, I watched it evolve into a vibrant, inclusive, and student-driven part of the school’s culture. Thanks to Yoel’s vision, organisational ability and leadership skills, he was able to develop the capacity, sustainability and skillset of the team - individual members and collectively.”

    Sidra Moshinsky - Director of Jewish Life and Learning at The King David School

  • “Before working with Yoel our program had the structure, but not the soul. After working with Yoel our program had new life and brought people back to the centre.”
