Testimonials
“Ariella understands the complexity of systems as well as the different interests of various stakeholders, including state and local government, non-profits, and people experiencing poverty and homelessness. She worked effectively with all of these partners— listening well to the full range of voices, many of which typically go unheard. Over a period of six months, Ariella helped us shape actions that honored the voices we heard. The impact was, and continues to be, immensely positive.”
Minnesota State Director to End and Prevent Homelessness
“I don’t think our organization would be where it is today without Ariella’s leadership and expert guidance during the CEO transition and after.”
“Ariella was a joy to work with and kept us on track. She thoughtfully asked hard questions about our role—how we were going to meet our vision and our goals—in a realistic but proactive way. She was invaluable throughout a six-month process to help us achieve our goal of creating a forward-thinking, aggressive, and truly authentic strategic plan.”
Board Co-Chair and Partner with Bowman and Brooke, LLP
“Ariella is a wonderful listener—she hears between words. She allowed me to be vulnerable and showed me how to carry my vulnerability without shame—instead, with a shield. I would definitely
work with Ariella again!”
