Client Testimonials

“Noushin has been tremendously helpful to me with regard to OD strategy, culture, alignment, integration, communication, 1:1 coaching, screening/on-boarding new employees, and overall being a great catalyst in our quest for organizational and operational excellence. She earned the trust and respect of our employees which enabled her to help all of us get and stay on a path of personal growth and development. Also, Noushin was a great thought partner, especially as I navigated the organizational stress caused by a pandemic during a large global clinical trial. I look forward to working with Noushin again in the future!”

“Noushin is one of the very best consultants I’ve had the pleasure of working with. With a unique scientific background and strong interpersonal skills, Noushin was able to help Regulus with any request – from team charters to lunch and learn opportunities for our employees. Noushin’s greatest service here at Regulus was getting our Culture Ambassador team launched. Her genuine respect and care for Regulus and it’s employees was evident all along, and I’ll certainly be working with Noushin again in the future.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Noushin as our Organization Development consultant at Respivant Sciences. Noushin has a novel approach to organization development, distinct and much more effective than the conventional methods commonly used in OD. At Respivant she took the time to understand the individuals and the culture to establish a baseline. Then working with the Leadership Team she helped identify the key aspects of the culture the company wished to foster. Subsequently she formed a team to identify the key elements of the culture and how they would be implemented. This led to an excellent convergence of disparate viewpoints and common agreement on the path forward.

Noushin is very perceptive and compassionate in her understanding of individuals and interpersonal dynamics. Additionally, she has a technical background that facilitates a deeper understanding of the issues to be addressed. She employed this expertise to provide counseling to the Leadership Team members and also to other individuals in the organization with remarkably positive results. She is very focused and patient and works towards the long term goal. Her ongoing coaching of the Leadership Team was invaluable in this process. In my 40 years of professional experience I have not worked with as effective an OD person as Noushin.”
