“Neda Movahed is a most rare combination of poetic sensibility and organizational capacity. She relishes and nourishes a wide range of skills for herself but also in relation to others. She takes joy in tackling extreme complex projects bringing a vast array of systems thinking to create new structures for individuals and teams to work within. Neda is relentless in pursuing even the most difficult tasks.

Meanwhile, she sees creativity everywhere and devises unusual collaborative processes to make art and culture thrive. Because her own artistry encompasses poetry, dance, collage, and sound, she thinks and moves through multiple spheres of action.

Anyone who comes in contact with Neda will find themselves spiritually uplifted, and if they are lucky enough to have her help, will find impossible jobs completed.” 

“Through co-teaching with Neda and advising her PhD research I was able to witness her innovative spirit, bold excitement, and exceptional organizational skills. Neda is a rare gem, possessing an extraordinary ability to set ambitious goals and accomplish them with efficiency and precision…

In addition to her academic achievements, Neda's compassionate facilitation and commitment to humanity and horizontality in education have made her an exceptional mentor and teacher…

She has a unique talent for harnessing aesthetic power and welcoming multiple meanings, making her work accessible and impactful to diverse audiences.”

“Neda was an absolutely fantastic colleague and member of our team. She brought an incredible skill set and ability to support our school across all levels.

She helped build community and morale amongst staff, consulted with leadership on strategic growth areas as we expanded as an organization, and was masterful at designing engaging and content-rich curriculum focused on sustainable agriculture.

Neda is a superstar, and any organization lucky enough to work with her will be so much better for it!”

“Neda's guidance was a game-changer for our small business. Her expertly moderated feedback session helped us uncover critical flaws in our approach, enabling us to pivot to a stronger, more successful direction.

Neda’s compassionate, insightful, and assertive style brought clarity and actionable steps to our team. Her ability to foster a discussion, especially in a remote setting, made the effort worthwhile.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you toward meaningful change, Neda is exceptional!”

“When Dr. Neda was my teacher, she always understood where a student was coming from. If a student wasn’t feeling well or was going through something, she could recognize it and would offer support, patience, and encouragement…

She planned many projects that prepared us for the real world, including one where we had to start our own small business.

Overall, Dr. Neda is a wonderful teacher, and more teachers should strive to show the same level of empathy, understanding, and genuine care for students as she does.”
