Colm McCourt – Personal Life Coaching – August 2023
Clarity of thought, focus, mindfulness, and the alleviation of stress leading to better clinical acumen and more a humane doctor is how I would describe the last 7 months working with Eli.
Examining and developing my values from first principles has given me solid foundations, this allows me to project a clear vision of the future which I confidently work and walk towards. The knowledge that as long as my values are sound and my reasons are clear then my career is very much in my hands makes life stress-free. This knowledge has empowered me to make a bold move to the other side of the world where I have begun to make a career transition from clinical medicine towards a career as an entrepreneur in emerging technologies, healthtec, and further afield.
Eli works on both the micro and macro levels, delving deep into the core of specific issues while at the same time zooming out and putting life’s little obstacles into perspective.
I recommend Eli wholeheartedly to doctors and any professionals who are seriously considering moving forward to the next level of their profession, in thinking, forecasting, communicating, problems solving, and much more.
I felt and feel in able hands and that Eli has my back on professional and life issues alike. The ability to see the big picture, and have a true appreciation for myself and the achievements I have so far accomplished enabled me to see myself in a new light, which has been tremendously beneficial to my self-confidence and belief system.

Eli,
The Art of Communicating and Thinking Strategically training was so rewarding. Our U.S. EPA employees have a better understanding of Strategic thinking as a mental or thinking process applied by an individual in the context of achieving a goal or set of goals. You are such a wonderful facilitator. You made the training lively and comprehensible.
Thank you

Transylvania County DSS – October 2021 – Supervisors Team
I would recommend this Leadership course to new and experienced leaders. The course provides knowledge and skills about essential core functions of leadership including the principle of humanity, effective communication, and team-building strategy. This course included a variety of activities that promote new learning, and vulnerability and provide practical tools that can make a real change.
Katherin Cox – DSS Transylvania
This Situational Leadership was an eye-opener in many aspects of the leadership function. It allowed me the opportunity to look at myself as a leader and reevaluate. It showed me what changes can be made to make the team stronger. Also, it points out various issues which need to be addressed from a human perspective while not losing sight of goals. This Course points out key aspects of leadership which occur throughout various roles and how the management of these aspects needs to be addressed in all team members. Eli navigated between the aspects of a leader/friend and a leader/manager that showed very well the way these two aspects can combine successfully to build trust and increase effectiveness.
Sylvia Trujillo-Petit – DSS Transylvania
This Leadership course was very practical and useful in work here at the DSS. Rising to be an effective leader to help facilitate effective and productive workers is a win for everyone. The course engaged feedback, positive and negative and Eli wanted all people to be part of the process and actively engage. Eli methodically worked a strategy of how to Build A Cohesive Team and demonstrated how working together can change the way that we provide services to our community which Covid impacted and changed for everyone, Eli’s input and unique way of delivery gave us all a fresh new perspective in these challenging times.

Henderson County DSS – June 2021 Income Maintenance Supervisor II
I wanted to thank you again for your course, Lead By Example. It taught me how to handle difficult situations with calm and authority. You also showed me how putting humanity and the primary goal in perspective can change the day-to-day thinking of how to manage. I have also witnessed the change in other supervisors from the training and believe they have completely transformed and feel better about themselves as well as their abilities. Hopefully, we will be able to send all Supervisors thru your training soon!
Rina Dale – DSS Hendersonville
This course with Mr. Harari has been invaluable to me because it has taught me how to lead by example and be the kind of leader that I would want to follow. It has taught me the importance of bringing out the best in others, how to build trust but also how to set boundaries!
It has taught me that there is always a bigger picture if I just take the time to sit back and see it. There is just so much that this course has taught me, and I feel that anyone who is in a Leadership position would greatly benefit from taking the course. It was not your typical Leadership course, it was so much more!
Thank you.

AFLAC
“We have been fortunate to have Eli conduct a number of programs for AFLAC management primarily focused on Strategic Thinking and Planning. Eli is a gifted facilitator and easily established rapport and gained the confidence of the course participants.
The course objectives were clearly identified and the material was presented in an organized and easy-to-understand manner.
The critiques from the programs he conducted were always in the “outstanding” category. We plan on having Eli conduct a number of other programs later in the year to include “The Ten Actors” and “Mental Toughness and Emotional Resilience”.
We contract with many outside consultants (we refer to them as adjunct faculty) and Eli is without question one of our very best.
If you have a chance to use his expertise I would highly recommend that you do so. Please feel free to contact me in regard to Eli’s qualifications.
