Testimonials

Designer at series B startup

 

“Ariane is thoughtful, empathetic, and her coaching style is fueled by curiosity. She is invested not just for the person you are today, but also the person you will become in the future. She helps you see longer term and realize that the future is what you make of today. She takes the time to deeply understand who you are as a human being and helps you navigate your decisions based on those core values.”

“Earlier this year, I found myself at a career crossroads where. I had been offered a new job opportunity, unlike the types that I would usually go for. I reached out to Ariane during this time to think through the impending decision in front of me. She helped me understand how I should be thinking about opportunities, how to define what was important to me, how to navigate the various conversations, and how to assert what I believe in.”

 

Senior Product Designer, Series B Startup

UX Research lead at series B startup

 

“4 months into my role, I had been tasked with shepherding the product and engineering teams through a fast and sensitive product pivot. I reached out to Ariane for advice and within minutes, she was charting all of my challenges on top of the org chart. By mapping out organizational issues on top of stakeholders, I realized how I could align my strategy with the stakeholders who had the right political capital. Using Ariane’s strategy, I built strategic relationships with my colleagues and they became my strongest allies.”

“Ariane helped me pivot from consulting to product, increase my salary by 1.5x, open my own design consultancy, and now I lead product at a venture-backed startup. With increased velocity, I found more fear of crashing and burning my life’s work; with increased execution, I found less uninterrupted time to think about my strategy. I’m still here because behind all of my accomplishments is Ariane coaching me to think with my head and do with my heart.”

“Ariane led me through incremental change to find my why. Each moment of learning was another chance to learn, refine, and enhance my story, giving me the confidence to represent myself in new ways. Ultimately, by enhancing my external credibility, I discovered new opportunities that were previously out of reach. ”
