The person behind NED
Janessa Maisonet
Founder, NED
Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things.
That idea sits at the heart of NED. Learning becomes useful when it helps us understand what is getting in our way and choose something we can do next.
NED brings that purpose into practical lessons and conversations. You bring your judgment, your situation, and your choice of what to do next.
