Most companies assume that new managers will have no problem gaining a team’s trust and setting them up for success– all with no training. But you and I know that leading a team is complex and requires new skills and tools! Instead of fumbling blindly, we can work together to expand your leadership toolkit and build you into an inspirational and effective leader.
Many clients have benefited simply by retooling their boundaries at work. Too many of us have allowed the expectations of others to define our work life, which leaves us feeling resentful and controlled. With coaching, clients learn to take back their autonomy and to clarify the difference between their responsibilities and those of their peers and leaders.
When you have broken boundaries, you’re going to experience burnout. In these cases, we examine the root cause of the burnout (e.g. a lack of self-care, never saying ‘no’, toxic work culture, ongoing conflict) and create a plan to reduce that burnout. The result? Energy and joy are restored.

Ariel uses her experience in clinical psychology, corporate strategy, and Agile software development to add more tools to your leadership toolkit.
"Within the first full year working together, projects I manage are achieving maximum results in half the time. Within the first session, Ariel identified basic changes to be made to move to a more agile approach in managing projects. Use her!"
Change is hard. Lucky for us, we had Ariel when we started our Agile journey at T-Mobile.
Ariel was our sherpa to help navigate not only how our teams and processes needed to change, but how we needed to evolve our own perspectives to find success. No matter the size or complexity of the issue we worked through, Ariel was always ready to help us see a path forward.
She made our processes better but also made our leaders and teams perform at new levels.

"Ariel is a great coach! She is kind, patient, and really listened to my needs, then helped me find the tools and skills that I already possessed to achieve the result I wanted."
