Ariela's presence and presentation coaching are exceptional!

Teaching + Coaching Testimonials…
“Ariela is a force of nature bringing energy to the room with a smile. She is a compassionate instructor who really wants you to ‘get’ the material - and she will provide many different approaches to make sure you understand.”
“Ariela is one of those memorable teachers whose powerful balance of spontaneous humor and knowledge-driven focus makes for a hugely enjoyable and highly personal learning experience. Her voice and body awareness workshop is an eye-opening plethora of new perspectives, tools and exercises in physical and vocal exploration.
Ariela’s flexible, customized approach annihilates any comparison minds at work and empowers her students to work at their own rhythm and just barely outside of their comfort zones, enabling the necessary stretch where learning happens, and all with consistently kind encouragement and committed coaching.
Her ability to draw out the best in an individual, and from a disparate group with wildly varying levels of talent, confidence, and experience, is nothing short of masterful, her dedication to her craft truly inspirational.”
“Ariela helped me and my team transform our sometimes dense subject matter into compelling, story-driven presentations, and her work continues to be invaluable for our company.”
“Ariela was instrumental in helping me communicate more effectively as a public speaker. Her ability to draw from and integrate various approaches to personalize my training was not only impressive but essential to my success. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Extraordinary results — I consistently nailed my presentations and secured funding after every coaching with Ariela, and eventually was able to land my dream job with her help on the extensive interview process.”
“Ariela gave me the essential pointers for a TED-style presentation - my first in this style. My presentation was well-received and I credit Ariela’s coaching for this success. She was quick and delivered her points perfectly, whether about my body language, vocal tones or content. I’m experienced in speaking to technical colleagues, decision-makers and the general public. At this point in my career, opportunities to learn new things are few and most welcome. She guided me through the learning process efficiently, with just a few face-to-face encounters and effective use of email and Internet resources.”
