Testimonials

Thank you so much! What a fantastic training! That was the best participation and attendance I’ve had in months. Everyone really enjoyed how interactive it was.

Julie Felcyn

Alumier

People & Capabilities Manager, North America

We had Arden teach an etiquette course to two young kids (ages 8 and 10) and even now they are using her examples when eating or introducing themselves. She was personable, professional, and made the lesson interactive and interesting, especially for the age group. We really enjoyed working with her and send our highest recommendations to those who are wanting to pick up a lesson for themselves or a group.

Ilona Lebed

Executive personal assistant

Before I started working with Arden, I was not confident in my ability to present myself. I was worried about my etiquette for my upcoming internship. After our work together I am prepared for a multitude of situations, ranging from greetings to dining, and I now know what specific things that I need to work on. I enjoyed our conversations and the ability to see my improvement in real time.

Sasha Johnson

I had a chance to get some feedback today about your training on running more productive meetings. I thought I’d share with you that one of our staff offered that she has already begun to implement an “objective” in meetings she’s facilitating and she shared that it has been a total game changer. So we are already collectively putting what we learned into action. Thanks for that.

Learning & Development Manager

I was recently promoted to a senior leadership position. I knew I would be doing more public speaking. I also wanted to improve my interpersonal communication skills in terms of leading, giving clear directions, and managing relationships. After coaching with Arden, I feel more prepared and confident in my role as a senior leader in terms of communication, body language, and clarity. I also know I will be a better public speaker by the tips I learned.

I found the coaching really helpful! The feedback on the interview practice questions was very useful and I think my answers are stronger. You are smart, savvy and experienced. You did a great job of honing in on my areas of weakness. My time with you helped me feel more confident and prepared to handle challenging conversations and situations.
