Testimonials

“Ariana provided mediation services between two team members who’s conflict was negatively impacting the rest of our staff. Her expert guidance enabled us to navigate a difficult conversation in a constructive fashion that has resulted in better communication and lower levels of stress all around.”

Becky Praamsma, Director, River Song Waldorf School

"We had been through a tumultuous year of change and were unable to get ourselves onto a harmonious path. Ariana worked with us to design a customized training that helped us identify where we were stuck and how to communicate more effectively moving forward. It was a game-changer!”

Margie Wagner, Director of the Center for Adult Learning, Front Range Community College

"Ariana’s work clearly accelerated the progress of our team, and she was a delight to work with.”

Matt Wallenstein, Director of Innovation Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Colorado State University

"I have seen an intrinsic motivation and commitment from the team to achieve challenging goals, which we co-created. Further, longstanding team members have inspired the same level of commitment in new teammates."
