Leadership & Organizational Development

Where leadership learning becomes practice.

Novo Praxis designs and facilitates leadership programs that turn training budgets into measurable behavior change — for mission-driven organizations and the people who lead them.

Who I help

Most leadership training fades by the following Monday. My work is built so it doesn’t.

I partner with nonprofit and mission-driven organizations that need their leaders — executives, managers, and frontline supervisors — to grow, align, and perform. Over more than ten years across public health, higher education, and the nonprofit sector, I’ve learned that the difference between a forgettable workshop and lasting change is design and facilitation, not content alone.

Every engagement is built to do one thing: turn what people learn in the room into how they actually lead once they leave it.

What I do

Three ways to build stronger leaders.

Cohort Leadership Programs

Multi-session programs — designed and facilitated end to end — for executive teams, manager groups, or supervisor cohorts. Scoping, custom design, live facilitation, materials, and a results loop.

Custom-scopedLet’s talk

Team Workshops

A focused half- or full-day intensive: performance management, feedback, team culture, adaptive leadership, or a strengths and styles debrief. A strong first step or a standalone reset.

Facilitation & Advisory

I’ll run your existing content with the room presence it deserves, or advise your internal L&D team on an ongoing basis. Best when you have the material but need the facilitator.

About

Dr. Raul Antonio Pereles Jr.

I run the room so the work sticks.

I’m Dr. Raul Antonio Pereles Jr. — a learning and organizational-development leader with an Ed.D in Executive Leadership and more than ten years designing programs across public health, higher education, and nonprofits. I’ve led everything from executive adaptive-leadership work to agency-wide development series reaching hundreds of people.

What I bring isn’t just curriculum — it’s the facilitation that makes development land. I work from a strengths-based foundation, I read each team and each person individually, and I can run a room in English or Spanish, which matters in the organizations I serve most.

And I don’t work alone — Novo Praxis brings together a team of experienced facilitators, so we can support organizations of any size, from a single workshop to a multi-site leadership program.
