"Heading into our annual evaluations, we knew we needed deeper support, context, and skill-building around giving and receiving feedback. Enter Najla — and we’re so grateful she came our way. Najla designed and facilitated a feedback training that our staff are still talking about. She offered clear, tangible tools while also holding space for us to wrestle with what was bubbling beneath the surface. She called us in with care and challenged us to check our assumptions and biases. Najla’s contribution has been deeply impactful in building a stronger culture of feedback in our organization."
— Toni Bellante, Chief of Staff at Working Partnerships USA
"Najla Gomez brings a powerful blend of rigor, care, and emergence to her work as a movement consultant. I had the pleasure of partnering with her to integrate the voices and priorities of promotores into an executive leadership transition for a grassroots non-profit. Najla’s structure, vision, and deep network of relationships created a powerful container for listening, learning, and trust-building. The outcomes of the process weren’t exactly what we expected — which, of course, was part of the journey — but the seeds of that work continue to inspire and shape transformational leadership within and beyond the organization."
— Jill Anderson, Deputy Director of Community Impact at SOMOS Mayfair during the Executive Director Transition (2022)
"Najla was an incredible support to us during our Executive Director search. She’s highly organized, clear in her communication, and brings a thoughtful, values-driven approach to every step of the process — from screening to interviews to evaluation. Our team benefited so much from her perspective and expertise, and many of our candidates shared positive feedback about their experience engaging with Najla. I highly recommend working with her."
— Sol Rhee, formerly at Oakland Rising
"This was my first time participating in a strategic planning process — and it was a long, complex project. But with the guidance and support of our consultants, Najla and Adlemy, we were able to meet our deadline. They were attentive, accessible, and supportive every step of the way — even meeting with our directors' bench one-on-one to offer additional coaching. Their care and commitment made all the difference."
— SOMOS Mayfair Co-Executive Director (2023)
"As a seasoned community organizer, Adlemy has a superpower to create grounded, intentional, and healing spaces for reflection and growth. Over the last two years, my experience with them has transformed the way I'm able to connect with my organizing, my community, and myself."
- Daniel Segura Associate Organizing Director, CAUSE
