WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY...
"Ariana's work has been invaluable for my organization! She managed several hiring processes for EBASE, resulting in the successful hiring of key staff. Ariana is resourceful, effective, and accountable. She helped us recruit an incredible pool of candidates, and provided guidance and support in assessing the candidates, leading us to hire some great folks! Anyone who has led hiring processes knows that it is time consuming, overwhelming and exhausting (and sometimes unsuccessful)! Ariana streamlined the process and made it much more manageable, effective and even enjoyable! She is very thoughtful and was attentive to our organizational needs and responsive to our feedback.
Ariana is easy to work with; along with being very funny and charming! She invests herself so deeply into the needs of her clients, and is very committed to successful outcome. We've worked with Ariana for several hiring processes now, and hope to continue working with her in the future. I tell her all the time that I don't know how we could have done it without her--- and it's true! Ariana's work was incredibly helpful and left me hopeful, and energized."
Jahmese Myers, Deputy Director, EBASE - East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy
"Working with Ariana to create the container that was our end of year [strategy & planning] retreat was fantastic. Ariana was able to bring her experience, wisdom, and heart to the process of planning a retreat. I found it particularly helpful to have Ariana as a sounding board for ideas that needed tenderness and thoughtfulness to come to the surface. I feel so blessed that have her share her facilitation skills that created space for all to participate, her aesthetic and brilliance to organizing an agenda, and her commitment to building community. She's an absolute joy to build community with."
