"I
crossed a lot of terrain during my work with Ari. I
was facing a series of transitions
in my life. Ari helped
me to sort, analyze, and focus on my core values and create
a series of successful plans for action. The answers that
I sought were within me, but Ari helped to draw these out
and
instill a sense of ownership for what I truly believe.
I feel so strongly about Ari's skills and expertise that
I recommended
him to my wife and my brother, something that I did not
do without careful consideration. The journey continues, but
after
my work with Ari a lot of the rough landscape is now
behind me."

"Ari's
coaching this past year has been invaluable to me in
helping me to achieve my goal of bringing more balance
to my life. I had let myself get into a pattern of spending
too much time at work and worrying about work, neglecting
other areas of my life. Through coaching, I have learned that
by
putting other areas of my life as priorities and achieving
more balance, I am happier and more effective at work."

"Ari's
gift, which I seek out often, is his ability to listen
carefully. The nature of my corporate responsibilities
often presents me with highly charged, highly contentious
situations. Ari's careful listening helps me relate these
situations
with my own internal process. That keeps me on track, leading
a purposeful career."

"Ari's
talent is in hearing what you say and what you don't
say. And getting to the true
heart of the matter.
I went to Ari with a career change in mind, and he
helped me with
that--and so much more. Ari helped me realize that
I could create a career--a life--for myself that would
fully embrace
my passions and talents. Now I'm carving out a unique
path
for my life that is allowing me to pursue my dreams
and make a living doing all of the things that I enjoy.
I highly recommend Ari Klein.
But you'd better be ready for the ride of your life!"

"After listening to Ari
explain his coaching process, and realizing that 12 hour work
days and watching TV had me
out of balance, I began working with him. His assessment was
very helpful, resulting in my adding more time with friends,
attending church women's group dinners and singles events.
Most importantly, he suggested I investigate my "dream" of
animal assisted therapy with the elderly. I was terrified,
but Ari kept me focused and guided me. At the same time
I met a woman who introduced me to LITA (Love Is The Answer),
a non-profit organization where people with pets visit
the
elderly, one-on-one, in care facilities. I began volunteering,
and joined their Board and Finance Committee. I recently
decided to take my new skills and passion to Nanaimo, BC,
Canada, where
there is a large population of seniors, and am currently
in the process of starting a non-profit similar to LITA.
I would
not be here today if it was not for Ari's excellent coaching
skills, caring encouragement and guidance. I am very grateful
to him."

" I have been working with Ari for a year and a half.
I came to Ari to work in three areas -- career development,
general life balance and assistance with assimilating into
a new city environment. During my time with Ari, I have experienced
great growth in each of these areas. We began our work together
with my filling out an in-depth assessment of myself which
has served as the foundation of my work with Ari. Through
on going meetings and correspondence I am able to make progress
in my work, my life balance and becoming more grounded in the
place I live through goal setting which is based on my initial
assessment. Ari helps me to see both the big picture of my
life and the small steps that it takes to live my "big
picture." To date I have landed a job which has brought
forth a great deal of myself, a balanced life of athletic,
spiritual and social endeavors -- yoga, growing network
of friends, marathon running, a partnership, meditation,
etc...
There is more for me to do and with Ari's assistance
I know I will continue to grow and evolve.."

GROUP WORK
" Our group really appreciated Ari's low key approach in keeping us focused
and challenging us to deal with the issues at hand. He had the ability
to ask very insightful questions, facilitate discussions and insure that everyone
received
the time and attention needed. The follow-up sessions proved to be very
useful. Ari was easily accessible and very supportive."
Susan Bloch
Director of Human Resources
San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Division
" I would like to share my success story of the group and individual coaching
I received from Ari Klein. I've gotten a promotion, I'm researching different
career paths at my company, I'm attending college at night, and I'm successfully
taking care of my family.
Lots of balancing, learning, and
hard work involved, but thanks to Ari and his coaching
expertise, I'm really making positive
results."
