Instructional Coaching
"My first session [with Ariel] was all about what I needed, areas that I wanted to grow, ways that I could and wanted to grow professionally. It was my very first coaching session in 21 years where the coach actually cared about MY growth, not just what I was or wasn’t doing in the classroom. Ariel was always collaborative, always inviting, and always helpful. I did not have to make one step on this journey alone and I learned so much and grew so much.
I have always felt that people are looking for what’s wrong so they can fix it or fix the teacher. Ariel didn’t look for what was wrong with me or my style of teaching. She took what I had and built on that. I am so grateful."

Executive Coaching
I worked with Ariel on a difficult conversation I had to have with a direct report at work. She helped me organize my thoughts to determine what I wanted to get out of the conversation, how to structure it, questions to ask, and the mindset going into the conversation. It went better than expected and I know it’s because of our prep work together beforehand. Ariel is super approachable, friendly, and constructive.
