An Evening With A Noble Man


Besides his dapper appearance and sophisticated demeanor, Steve Nobel, founder and principle of NOBELINKS, displays all the relevant characteristics of a noble gentleman. This past Tuesday, I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Steve that I will never forget.

Steve Nobel is known in the luxury interior design and designer home furnishings industry as the preeminent source of business consulting models. His knowledge of the inter-workings of the interior design trade is without question unparalleled. He exudes an approachably confident understanding of highly technical interior trade issues and when the opportunity presents itself, he visibly beams with pride to impart his valuable information. When Steve speaks, even the talkers stop to listen to his words of wisdom.

Personally, as a young entrepreneur, I appreciate and admire the fact that Steve challenges me as interior designer. He constructively plays the role of devil’s advocate and he causes me to think outside-of-the-box. Without a doubt, Steve’s input has molded me into a more effective businesswoman and enhanced my problem-solving skills on interior design issues.

For taking the time out of your busy schedule, for sharing your valuable thoughts with me, and most of all for believing in me, I thank you Steve. Words can’t express how much I appreciate you and how lucky I feel to have you as a friend and a mentor.

To learn more about Steve Nobel, I recommend that you visit his website at www.nobelinks.com.
