MEET NAAMI

People are my passion.

I've always been fascinated by people. How they think, what they value, what brings them joy, what upsets them. I've always had a knack for people - reading a room, sensing unsaid emotions, knowing what people need, and knowing what to say. Since I can remember, I’ve always been a coach, I just didn’t know it.

I started my career in non-profit work, curating spiritual growth and development opportunities for those in my Jewish community. I had the privilege of doing this for over a decade in Los Angeles, NY, NJ, and Israel. My non-profit work tuned me in to developing empathy and understanding for others, forced me to become a better listener, and taught me the art of having deep and meaningful conversations. It was here that I learned how to get in touch with my authentic self by watching others be curious and ask inspiring questions which ultimately led to tremendous levels of personal growth.

When I moved to Maryland in 2013, I began working as the program director for ACHARAI, now Na'aleh: The Hub for Leadership Learning, a local non-profit that offers leadership development opportunities for top-level leaders. I co-created and facilitated cohort learning experiences, absorbing from some of the best in the field. I began to learn what it means to be a leader. I built relationships with incredible mentors and leadership coaches. I saw the power of peer cohort learning, and the incredible impact of leadership coaching.

I knew then, I wanted to be a coach. I went back to school and received my Executive Certification in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University. Here, I started to appreciate my deep intuition and ability to inspire change. I built confidence in my abilities and skills as a coach. And it was here that I realized how much joy I receive from helping leaders thrive. This is when I knew I had found the how of how I wanted to help people.

In 2022 Overbrook Coaching & Consulting was born. I have always believed that work shouldn’t be a place of stress and frustration but rather, it should be fulfilling and energizing. My hope is that I get to inspire and support leaders on their journey to building healthy, thriving organizations.
