“Over the years, I’ve worked with many individual coaches to help me grow. Recently, I’d been struggling with finding the coach to get me from where I am to where I’m going next. I hired Ariel a few months ago along with 3 other coaches. It didn’t take me long to realize Ariel is the coach for me. She challenged me and helped me create an entirely new business line for my company. That was a crush! She is a crusher! She listens better than any coach I’ve know and creates a safe place for me to be real and vulnerable. Too many times, I’ve BS’d coaches and therapists to my own detriment. With her, I haven’t done that because she created the place for me to be real. Lots of crushing ahead. Thank you Ariel!”

“Ariel has been an incredible resource for my journey, and I know she will be for you as well! I’ve worked with coaches in the past and while they offered some guidance, much of our time was spent on the business numbers. Where Ariel excelled and added the most benefit to me was to help me work on the mental blocks that were getting in the way of reaching my full potential. Prioritization skills, structuring strategies, and learning about my own limiting beliefs and why I had them were all powerful topics we worked through together. Ariel is present in every conversation and brings her full energy with you in every session. If you’re looking for the step to get to the next level, she will help you find it!”

“My work with Ariel has had a much larger impact on my life than just business. I am becoming a better man, a better husband, a better colleague, and a better advisor. My ability to empathize with clients has improved and my clients feel heard because of this. Of course, my production increased too. I hired Ariel in June 2019, and by August I had my best month ever, earning $20,000 in a month for the first time in my life. This was a goal I had for over five years, and I hit this objective after working with Ariel for two months. I won the Pacific Northwest Lives Summit (PNLS) Silver Category. I believe these results would not have taken place separate from the quick progress I made through the work I have done with Ariel.”

“Ariel really took the time to listen and hear who I am and what I am trying to accomplish as well as overcome. Her emphasis is listening, not just hearing me. She listens with intent to coach you from the inside out. You will learn a lot about yourself as she challenges and encourages you in learning to hear your own voice from the clutter in your mind. Ariel does a great job staying on task with the conversation, pulling deep on ideas and thoughts to get you to maximize your effort in the relationship. You will get out of this what you put in- but you will get a full effort from Ariel no matter what.”

“Our team has been working with Ariel for about 6 months and the growth we have seen with her guidance is exceptional. Before meeting, the message we brought to clients varied by client AND which team member was speaking with them. With Ariel's coaching we are now on the same page and are each taking ownership of our part of the team and clients have noticed. If you are looking to understand your roadblocks to improving your business and how to move past them, then an introductory meeting with Ariel will certainly be time well spent.”

“When I started with Ariel, I was overworked and extremely stressed due to a rapidly growing business with a team that wasn't ready to meet those demands. In a year and a half of working with Ariel, she has helped me to define my desired end result and take steps to get there. She's a great listener, asks meaningful questions and makes suggestions that are based on my needs and what she hears me say. She summarizes the message so that I can retain it, know what the action steps are and recognize progress. Two specific and significant results are getting the right teammate in place and helping me prioritize the systems that I need to improve to reduce my workload. Progress has not been a level straight line upward, but the trend is upward with peaks and valleys. I'm in the heart of tax season now, feeling great, which is the opposite of how I felt one year ago, and I have enough time in my schedule to take the time to write this recommendation even though it's tax season.”
