Regional Director, West Africa
"Ariela was a thought partner in creating a portfolio of strategic solutions to advance leadership effectiveness at our global humanitarian organization. She was successful in implementing a large-scale management training program, inclusive leadership program, and female mentoring program, to name a few.
I have personally appreciated Ariela’s skillful facilitation of meaningful dialogue and exchange across leaders, teams, cultures, and contexts. She has exceptional abilities and a solid reputation in discerning the needs of a group, using powerful questions to enhance awareness, and applying approaches to foster greater alignment and commitment."

Mamadou D.
Director, Employee Engagement
"Ariela was my coach and partner during my recent transition to a more senior leadership role. As a result of our sessions, I evolved and transformed my leadership outlook. Her skillful mix of deep respect, thought-provoking questions, and joyful wisdom enabled me to identify my strengths, influence through ambiguity, and uncover my authentic leader voice.
As an African and Senegalese, I can say confidently that Ariela embodies a unique set of experiences, skills, and approaches that would make her an effective coach for any leader regardless of context or culture."

Wendy-Ann R.
Director, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Ariela was an exceptional partner and collaborator in designing DEI programming for our leaders of highly dynamic and culturally diverse teams. She brought a depth of experience and tools for engaging leaders to enhance self-awareness, broaden approaches to conflict, and develop an intercultural lens to leadership effectiveness. Her programs were well received and are currently being scaled and cascaded through our global agency.
Ariela is also a wonderful facilitator to watch and experience. She has extraordinary abilities in hearing individual perspectives and synthesizing ideas into broader themes and goals. Colleagues frequently share a deep appreciation for her facilitation style, using phrases such as feeling heard, respected, and belonging to describe their experience.
