About
Who is teaching matters as much as what is taught.
Elie Schulman
Founder, Change Navigation Training
I have spent eighteen years facilitating groups. Not training groups. Facilitating them. The distinction matters. A trainer stands in front and delivers information. A facilitator sits in the room and helps the people in it find what they already know, name what they don't, and build from there.
Before CNT, I spent eighteen years in litigation and conflict management. That work taught me something most AI training misses: the hardest part of any change is not the technical learning. It is the human response — the fear, the resistance, the moment of freezing. I have watched that moment in boardrooms, in courtrooms, and in classrooms. It looks the same everywhere.
The women who come to CNT are not behind. They are not insufficient. They are standing at the edge of something new and feeling the discomfort that comes with it. My job is not to push them across. It is to stand next to them while they decide to step.
That is what facilitation is. That is what CNT is.
Group Facilitation
18 years
Trained in the Ormont method under Dr. Louis Ormont — the leading figure in modern group facilitation. Facilitated ongoing psychodynamic groups with Dr. Brook, Dr. Grover, and at the Center for Group Studies.
Conflict Management
18 years
Litigation practice. Mediation. The daily work of helping people in high-stakes situations make decisions with incomplete information — and live with the outcomes.
Community
A life
Orthodox. Frum. Living in the rhythm of Shabbos and Yom Tov. The women who come to CNT do not need to explain their context. I share it.
Why This Exists
The conversation about AI has largely happened without women's voices — and certainly without the voices of women whose lives are shaped by Torah values and frum community.
Change Navigation Training exists to change that. Not by arguing that women should be in the conversation. By giving them the skills to enter it on their own terms.
We are not a tech company. We are a training organization built on the belief that change is a skill — not a disruption to survive, but a capacity to develop. The tools are the context. The skill is the product.
The Approach
Facilitated, Not Lectured
The room does the work. The facilitator creates the conditions. Every workshop is designed so the learning comes from participation, not from the front of the room.
Context First
Frum women do not need a translated version of secular AI training. They need training built in their context from the start. Shabbos-aware scheduling. Women-only spaces. Values-aligned content.
Discomfort Is the Signal
Learning anything new is uncomfortable. That discomfort is not a sign you are in the wrong place. It is the signal that growth is happening. We do not remove it. We help you move through it.
Community Is the Mechanism
The question that stumps you at 10 PM is the same question three other women had that week. In a room together, someone asks out loud and everyone learns. Alone, you close the laptop.
Have a Conversation
The best way to understand what CNT is, is to talk about it. Twenty minutes. No pitch. Tell me what you are navigating. I will tell you whether this can help.
