"Frieda's media relations background, public affairs expertise, and exceptional emotional intelligence are unique in change management. She evaluated our media narrative, regulatory requirements and internal communications to create a 'soup to nuts' engagement plan that supports the bank's strategic goals. During a time when the effects of change had slowed down the business significantly, she helped us move forward. The result is an integrated plan that promotes our core values of empowering employees, diversifying markets and operating with integrity." * Head of Organization Development Investec plc |

"Novos Consulting trained members of the health coverage community in the lead up to the 2nd open enrollment period on project management. The training was designed specifically for the audience with engaging exercises and specific examples that brought the topic to life. Novos was able to boil down a complex topic like program management in a way that allowed our partners to walk away with concrete and meaningful action items. We work with limited resources and within a tight timeline to enroll the uninsured in new coverage options – the training from Novos gave us tools that make us more efficient and effective. Thank you Novos!"

"Bay Area Community Services (BACS) worked with Novos at a pivotal point in our organization's development. With increasing demand and a growing team, she worked with leadership - individually and collectively - to facilitate a deep dive strategic visioning process. Frieda's thorough, creative and energizing approach helped guide us to an eye opening, shared understanding of BACS's future and develop an implementable plan for geographic expansion, service scaling and programmatic diversification guided by our core mission of keeping adults connected to their communities. Today, we continue to thrive."

"The Alameda County Management Employees' Association (ACMEA) is a diverse organization representing over 800 management class employees from nearly all departments throughout Alameda County. With members ranging from the Sheriff to the Courts to Social Services Agencies and Highland Hospital, there are seemingly more things to divide than bind us. Rather than seeing differences based on culture, geography and work function as a challenge, Novos worked with ACMEA to leverage our diversity as a strength to develop a truly representative plan grounded in our united commitment to serving the communities of Alameda County. To achieve, Novos conducted a comprehensive and thoughtful preliminary assessment of culture, needs, operations, and internal and external communication systems. During our three day Board strategic planning retreat, Frieda balanced the values and learning styles of leadership, effectively facilitating the development of ACMEA's measurable critical path forward."

"The Novos coaching model is creative and results-oriented. Frieda helped me analyze and better understand barriers, and arrive at practical solutions that directly addressed and improved these issues - often immediately. Through the process, I learned a lot about myself: my long-term professional needs, values, unique strengths and how to align these assets to support a more effective team and department. I continue to actively practice the solutions we developed together. Frieda is very approachable, naturally inquisitive and focused, which I value in our coaching relationship. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
