Audience & Client Feedback on Arel

1 / 12

Arel's ALIGN session was genuinely eye-opening and gave me a practical framework for understanding not only how I approach challenges, but why other people may approach the same situation completely differently. I walked away with a new perspective on communication, teamwork, and self-awareness and a lot to reflect on both personally and professionally. Arel was engaging, relatable, and made a complex concept feel accessible and useful. Definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone who works with people or wants to better understand themselves and others. (see talk report)

Liz Campbell

I didn’t agree with the labels given at first, because I’m not one to label someone based on their actions or words without knowing the reasoning behind those actions/words, but as Arel went on, I started to realize it isn’t a rude thing to do, & more of a way to help someone realize who they are, or what could help them get through their stages. (see talk report)

Attendee

Arel is the best speaker I have ever heard and I hope to see him many more times in the future. He really makes me reflect and inspires me to do better and be a better person. He makes things that may seem complicated much simpler to understand. I feel like I will take everything he has said and use it in my future in many ways. (see talk report)

Attendee

He was amazing!! He was so relevant to my life and on building community with others. He is so enjoyable to watch he never makes me want to check my phone or the time to see when we will be done. I always want to hear what he has to say. He has such good information to share that helps me in my work and home life . (see talk report)

Attendee

It was a very enjoyable experience. The personal aspect put into what he said was relatable. He was captivating and funny. Really gets you to think about perspective. Personally changing my perspective has been huge and he keeps me wanting to looking at perspective. Fantastic speaker!!! (see talk report)

McKenze Clark

Arel was very informative and have that information in a simplified way. He was able to make his presentation engaging and interesting. The comparison of the organization being like a bunker and coworkers having each other's bank was interesting and important. (see talk report)

Attendee

It was very helpful, made me want to achieve the goals that I have, and make news ones so that I can achieve those. This helped me realize that everyone has opportunities and I am one of those people all I have to do is take the initiative and apply myself. (see talk report)

Attendee

When others are coming from a different place learning the stages and being able to identify where that is coming from you can bring things back to center all in the stage again. More emphathy, can resolve the problem and closing the gaps. (see talk report)

Valerie Stock

I’d say it was informative, engaging, and practical. We talked about strategies and ideas that I can actually use in my classroom, especially when it comes to creating a positive, inclusive learning environment. (see talk report)
