“Adrienne was incredible. So many helpful tips on empathetic bridge-building in storytelling. I especially appreciated her response to my question about organization of story.”
“Adrienne is a model of offering excellent feedback. Direct, useful, and simple - but with exponentially impactful results. Also she is just a wonderful calm presence and a delight to be around. Total pro.”

“So thankful for Adrienne’s facilitation. She coached in an authentic and graceful way that helped all participants feel safe and willing to take risks in the activities.”
“Adrienne was an absolutely incredible leader and facilitator. I wanted to highlight how skilled she was at creating a brave and FUN space from the jump. She was also great at creating a culture of feedback where I felt whole and complete as I am. Typically in spaces I interpret feedback as “you are deficient” but Adrienne was so skilled in giving feedback with such grace and love. She was amazing at creating a culture of bravery and safety and making every participant feel seen and empowered. Her grace and leadership has changed my life.”
