Emily Neustadt
Emily Neustadt, founder and principal of Neustadt Consulting, brings to the practice over fifteen years experience with Fortune 100 companies; working in the US, Europe and Asia with organizations, teams and individuals on issues of leadership development, innovation and strategic planning, influencing and communication for better management. In addition to her corporate work, Emily leads programs for organizational effectiveness with select non-profits and entrepreneurs.
The power of the programs Emily designs lies in her ability to maximize the individuals’ experiences and learning as they continue to reach business goals. Frequently asked to coach or consult on programs for energy companies, financial service institutions and major media companies, Emily creates vital programs that clearly address current business needs, and link to succession planning. Her focus and experience in action learning (learning while doing something bigger than you've done before) is unique, and at the core of her work.
In Washington, DC she has helped to fine-tune cross cultural communication skills of senior international executives, negotiating on behalf of their governments and testifying before congress on the laws affecting their industries. She extended her work beyond the private sector to include leadership coaching for the federal government.
Lasting Changes
Neustadt's leadership consulting, strategic planning and influencing skills programs have been successfully utilized by major financial services and media companies. The dynamic, interactive training experience emphasizes the practical, business-use of the skills taught, and where possible, builds one-on-one or group coaching into the design of the programs. The learning retention rate dramatically increases and participants are able to make significant, lasting changes.
Professional Background
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Emily has also studied at the New School University. She is trained in the systems approach, and has appeared regularly as a guest lecturer and panelist for New York University, Columbia University, Polytechnic University and has appeared on National Public Radio and NYC stations.
Making the world a better place
Neustadt Consulting donates when possible, workshops, consulting and coaching to people who may not be able to hire us. We've worked for many years helping those returning to work after long term illness, provided work readiness training to recipients of children's charities aging out of foster care and into the work force. We worked to lower the ambient noise levels in hospitals by facilitating the adoption of headphones in hospitals. When we can't spare the days we dontate a cash equivalent. Past donations went to the creation of a low masonary wall to protect trees in New York city, and funding for an oral history project to enhance the understanding of history from multiple perspectives.
