Coaching helps when you don’t know what to do next.

 

It doesn’t have to be a massive life change.

 

You’ve got a situation in front of you, and you’re not sure how to handle it.

"Ariela is a powerhouse people-developer. Prior to meeting Ariela I was in a stagnant place creatively. After time with Ariela, suddenly my strategic and creative spark was back and in full-throttle. Ariela’s coaching instinct is impeccable. She knows how to pique your curiosity and bring you along on this journey to a better self. She’s brilliant and has so much knowledge to share. She’s a teacher with the mind of a strategist and heart of an activist."

The Goal of Coaching for Stuck Places

Coaching is about untangling the messy middle — the "I don't know what to do" moments that leave you feeling stuck. Together, we'll slow it down, figure out what matters most, and help you choose your next move with clarity and confidence.

Coaching for stuck places may help if you're asking yourself:

  •   What's my goal in this situation?
  •   How do I figure out and communicate what I need?
  •   How do I choose between two options when both feel important?
  •   Are there options I'm not seeing?
  •   How do I stop spinning about this decision and take a clear next step?

"Having Ariela as an online StrengthsFinder/CliftonStrengths coach was one of the best things I did while moving through a career transition. Her thoughtful questions and insights helped me think more holistically about my strengths and then become clearer in what I need in order to feel energized and fulfilled through my work."

With the help of the modules and the calls with Dr. Ariela, I was able to not only redefine my goals for my career and my personal life, but establish concrete steps to achieve them.
