“Our success on the manufacturing front was enabled by ____'s leadership and you played such an important role in his development. So we continue to be grateful for your help which is translating into real contributions to our success."
“I feel like you're practically part of the _____ family and can't tell you how much we appreciate the work you've done with some of our very key people.”
“You have done an exceptional job as the coach to this ‘dysfunctional’ team.”
“You were the best facilitator we've ever had--organized, perceptive, direct, focused, good at feeling the moment and guiding the process, sharp instincts. I don’t have anything I'd like you to do better.”
“Ali’s authentic approach, together with her insights in organizational dynamics, human relations and life, has totally transformed me - I no longer just do things differently; I am different. I’d recommend Ali to anyone, including those highly driven individuals who may be trapped in the curse of their capable self."
“Unlike a leader who dictates, Ali works alongside people to help them come to their own solutions rather than handing them the answers. She leads by example and is willing to take risks for what she believes in. Superb intellect and always good to talk to. Thoughtful, analytic/reflective, accepting, generous. I would give Ali the highest recommendations.”
"This past year I had the great privilege of having Ali as a coach. She worked with me to maintain executive presence and centeredness during times of turbulent change in the pharmaceutical arena. What sets Ali apart as a great coach is her ability to cultivate trust -- she created a safe environment in which I could challenge some of my assumptions and try on new, more helpful perspectives. We worked collaboratively to arrive at solutions that just worked."
"She is careful in her thinking, thorough in gathering and accessing information and sifting through complex problems, seeing multiple perspectives, staying flexible, and staying positive even when no apparent solution has been found. Ali is as smart as they come but it is her levelheadedness that sets her apart."
"You are doing an exceptional job - your approach/style in the past 6 months has changed radically - you are clearly now in control and leading both the team and the BOD - keep heading in this direction - your confidence is palpable.”
