I get such joy watching my clients have their own “lightbulb” moments! These are the moments that bring clarity, focus, and vision for their future. These moments come from self-realization and help catapult my clients to the next level of their professional careers. It is an honor to journey with them and witness their “lightbulb” breakthroughs!

Working with Aleta has truly changed my life. She is helping me create the person I want to be and build a career and life that brings me happiness. Each conversation brings a new lesson and skill I can apply to every aspect of my life so that I can reach any goal I dream up. Aleta comes from a place of understanding, experience, care, and trust. I look forward to each session because at the end of each I feel empowered and unstoppable in my pursuit of happiness. She will help you realize what a badass woman you are especially when at first you don't see it in yourself.
Mike
Senior VP of Operations | YMCA of the East Bay
I had the opportunity to work with Aleta in opening a new facility. She has the ability to lead key operational initiatives while keeping a focus on day-to-day functions with the strategic vision serving as her platform. Aleta is able to interpret the business related capabilities necessary for sound business practices required for decision-making and planning. Additionally, her ability to articulate the strategic focus of the organization served as an asset in her leadership position. I would highly recommend Aleta for any organization looking for a solid team member with strengths in human resources, accounting, payroll, supervision and internal and external collaboration.
