What people are saying.

  • Working with Arielle on salary negotiation for a new role increased my compensation package by tens of thousands of dollars. She broke down all the elements of the initial offer, provided benchmarking and industry insights, and guided me on the specific steps to request a counter offer. Then she gave me the encouragement and confidence to go ask for it! 10/10 would recommend her, and I already have many times.

  • I worked with Arielle on preparing for interviews and negotiations with a recruiting firm and also the organization's executive staff. Arielle helped me think through a strategy for the interviews and get comfortable with talking about myself. It's not always easy for people of color to talk about our strengths, and I had a habit of bringing up weaknesses without even being asked. The job included some areas where I felt deficient, and Arielle helped me work on answers that focused on emphasizing my experience and leadership. In my 2nd round interview she predicted 3 of the 5 questions, so I had talking points ready that I had already developed with her. Throughout the process, Arielle aided me in understanding the role of the recruiters, which gave me confidence to ask more questions and seek an offer I was comfortable with. The job I got was a director level position and I was thrilled with the package I ultimately accepted. Arielle gave me the coaching I needed to believe in myself, and her advice relieved stress I was experiencing when I didn't understand the process, or when imposter syndrome was creeping in. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking interviewing and negotiating coaching.

  • Working with Arielle makes you understand what is possible and how to negotiate from that place. Most importantly, she made me believe in myself and my value. Arielle is part Shrink, part Coach, part Fairy Godmother, part Confident and total Cheerleader. I now think negotiating and interviewing is like dating: the more you do it, the better you get at it. Unfortunately as a woman in her 40’s, I haven't done any dating in a long time, so to have Arielle felt like a secret weapon. I feel like I know how to work with recruiters and hiring managers with confidence now. I am less intimidated, and feel like the process has been demystified for me. I also now understand that some of the back and forth is part of the process. After working with Arielle, I’m able to give my friends and colleagues solid interview and negotiation advice, and still know when I'm above my depth and should send them to her! She makes negotiating fun, something that most people dread.

  • I loved working with Arielle and would highly recommend her to all my friends and peers. She not only helped me negotiate the offer --giving me specific strategies for which aspects of the offer to focus on; but she was also able to walk through my thought process for accepting this job. The negotiation process seemed daunting at first, but after being coached by Arielle, I felt confident and prepared. Ultimately, she helped increase my offer by 30% --which is much more than I ever expected.

  • Arielle got me more money than I could have even imagined. As soon as we had the first phone call, I felt at ease going into the nerve-racking offer process. And I work in recruiting--LOL. It was so lovely and anxiety-reducing to know that she would walk me through each step in this process. Arielle taught me to ask for more than I wanted to (in a diplomatic way), and gave me the data to prove it. Her coaching helped me build confidence in my ability to negotiate with senior leaders at every level.
