Jude Barak is the founder of Excel Leader and co-founder of NonDataPeeps.com. For almost a decade, Jude has worked with C-levels and entrepreneurs in creating businesses and data-based presentations.

She uses her skills in business data analysis, her expertise in presentation design, and her passion to find insights into complex data. She especially likes to teach and speak in front of “data people” that need to present to “non-data people” – and vice versa.

"As an expert with broad experience in data collection and analysis, I understand that presenting data is like the art of mosaic, a kind of story that the viewer must decipher and understand quickly. Summarizing and Big Data seem to be opposites. How is it possible to present so much in such a short slide? Finding the best answer to this question is what I like to do, and presenting the outcome is my passion." - Jude Barak

She has helped people suffering from social anxiety, phobias, negative sexual habits, relationship issues, bulimia, low self-esteem, childhood traumas, hash smoking habit, marriage challenges, parents' challenges with teenagers, and other problems.

In her coaching sessions, she uses NLP techniques that guarantee fast and effective results for her precious clients, which impresses them. With her clients, she starts the session with questions that allow the clients to think more deeply and help him/her identify the real problem and maybe see things from a different angle. After identifying the problem, they work on it together with a commitment from both sides, find the root cause of the problem, and solve it after solving the root cause, setting SMART goals, if needed, and follow-ups.
