Ariela was an amazing trainer and facilitator. She handled our diverse group of two work teams, helping each team learn more about their strengths and how best to work together. One of my team members remarked that it was the best training of this type he had ever experienced. I loved how she made the full day engaging and kept us on task, but also remained flexible. I would highly recommend her to any team leader.

Working with Ariela was truly transformative. She took the time to understand me as a whole person, guiding me to deepen my self-awareness. Ariela provided new perspectives and essential skills that prepared me for interviews, helped me present myself professionally, and evaluated job offers wisely. Her holistic approach and warm, supportive energy were invaluable, especially during a challenging period as I reconsidered my career path. I can confidently apply what I've learned from her to all areas of my life. I highly recommend Ariela to anyone seeking comprehensive career guidance.

When I first began Compass Within, I was at a professional crossroads and starting to feel the effects of burn out. Working with Ariela helped me clarify my career goals, understand what I wanted from a job, and understand my own strengths.
I can honestly say I feel so much more confident in steering my career and would strongly recommend this program to anyone who is uncertain about their current role or where they would like to be in the future.

Ariela's CliftonStrengths workshop with our company of 100+ people was a resounding success. 94% of our employees rated her session as valuable in a follow-up survey - one of the highest ratings we've ever had for an external speaker! Her ability to tailor the content, deliver it in an engaging way, and design a collaborative session made for a truly impactful learning experience. I highly recommend Ariela as a facilitator for any organization looking to explore the CliftonStrengths framework. Some things we loved:

Tailored Content: Ariela impressed us with her ability to customize the content to our specific workplace. She clearly understood our company culture and incorporated relevant examples that resonated deeply with our employees. This made the session incredibly valuable and applicable to our daily work environment.

Engaging Delivery: Ariela's down-to-earth and relatable public speaking style created a warm and inviting atmosphere. She presented the information in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for everyone to understand the concepts. Her genuine enthusiasm for the CliftonStrengths framework was contagious and kept the audience engaged throughout the session.

Collaborative Design: The overall design of the session was well-structured and fostered collaboration among participants. Ariela facilitated interactive activities that encouraged open discussion and knowledge sharing. This collaborative approach allowed everyone to gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, as well as how to leverage the strengths of others within the team.

As a professional facilitator, having a warm and welcoming space is an important part of successful meetings. Maven Tree Consulting offers just that; the space is flexible, well-appointed, easy to find and Ariela is incredibly responsive in helping to identify the needs of the group so that the space can be set accordingly, including different spaces for small group work. Having the walls be a giant white board allows for incredible visual thinking and the artsy vibe spurs creativity.

Working with Ariela is such a worthwhile experience. Her in-depth knowledge and genuine interest in seeing her clients through an introspective and dynamic process yields much self-knowledge and enthusiasm. Absolutely a worthwhile investment if clarity and growth are your goals.

Ariela was amazing to work with! Her love for helping others was shown during the actual program where we brought her to facilitate Clifton Strengths to Emory alumni. Our attendees raved about her energy, passion and empowerment to really help them not just take in all she shared with us but to also feel more confident to leave walking into our lives owning our strengths. I definitely plan on bringing her back in the future!

I was looking for direction in my Career but was not finding any meaningful resources or support from the companies I have worked for. I reached a point where I realized that I needed to find a new path and someone to help guide me. I found that and more from Compass Within. The Program has been an amazing experience for me, it’s been a great learning experience which has really charged up my Learner Strength. Clifton Strengths have provided me a framework personally and professionally to better understand my own personality. Compass Within goes far beyond just understanding my strengths, it has given me additional tools to help guide my decisions. Ariela has been wonderful. She is very insightful and has guided me throughout the Program and has really been able to help me realize change in my career path and my life. I highly recommend Ariela and Compass Within to gain a detailed understanding of yourself and how to guide your decisions using the tools that Ariela shares within the Compass Within Program.
