What does Lev Yodeya LLC mean?

Neil chose Lev Yodeya LLC as the name of his consulting practice because his approach to work and life is heart-centered. His vision in each engagement is to amplify the inner strength inherent in each of us.

In Hebrew, lev means heart and yodeya means knows. Lev Yodeya evokes heart knowledge, the kind of insight that comes from deep within each of us. It’s the kind of gut feeling about what’s right that’s always there—sometimes we just need to listen more closely to hear it.

Lev Yodeya also evokes Neil’s favorite line from the Talmud—message him to out more.
