Others are talking about Dr. Anne Merkel, the Corporate Alchemist™, as she facilitates and coaches transformation:

“Most of us do not have time for fluff and feel good training sessions that bear no fruit. The Open Space Technology process has demonstrated its value to us by changing how we change – and change we must. It is an effective use of time and has delivered positive results in behavioral change and in the function of support and remediation of problems. Dr. Anne Merkel is a very talented, experienced, professional, and competent facilitator. She has learned, through her successes and trial and error, what has most successfully worked in effecting positive change. Dr. Anne Merkel and The Ariela Group are very highly recommended for your consideration.” Cary McSwain, County Administrator, Richland County Government/ Columbia, South Carolina, USA

“WOW!  That is not even a powerful enough word to describe the way I feel after our session today.  I strongly feel that you some how are a guardian angel or something sent to me at just the right time in my life to tell me just what I needed to know at just the right point in my life to actually do something with what we shared.  Intuitively you were right on and I cannot even begin to describe the release that one session gave me.  I laughed, I cried. Two hearts up!
Thank you for your beautiful gift. NAMASTE!” Ron D., Manufacturing Maintenance Supervisor/ Phoenix, Arizona, USA

“Having experienced many facilitators, strategic planners, and organizational consultants during my thirty years of directing businesses and non-profit organizations, I can say that Anne is a master at her trade and the finest facilitator I have had the pleasure of working with. Her knowledge, skills, and vast experience merge gracefully with her passion, sense of humor, and deep respect for those with whom she is engaged. This is a powerful combination that leads to successful outcomes. From my experience it is rare to meet a facilitator and organizational consultant whose mastery of skills equals a commitment to making a difference in the world. Anne is a powerful change agent who lives her mission.” Diane Delafield, Founding Director, Campaigns for Kids, Inc./ Asheville, North Carolina, USA

“Thank you for an extraordinary coaching experience today. I was surprised when your coaching led me into new territory.  Feelings that I thought were work-related anxiety or ambition, that seemed to be creating a stressful results-focused drive to achieve, were really about something else entirely.   With your assistance I gained awareness of what that feeling was an indicator of and the stressful feelings began to dissipate.  I made self-discoveries that delighted and empowered me, and revealed an action plan that will transform my future.  Thank you for extraordinary coaching!” Hadassah R., Writer, Artist/ Los Angeles, California, USA

“Anne, our executive committee met last night and I wanted to pass along some of our comments. We were in unanimous agreement that our off-site was the most productive of all the sessions any of us have attended. We did, as you say, cover a lot of territory. More than that, we uncovered, brought out into the open, and discussed some topics that all of us have wrestled with for a long time. Now they’re on the table and the agenda for the year. We think you did a great job and we really appreciate it.” Mike Flack, Director, Columbia Metropolitan Airport – Chair, Lexington Chamber Board of Directors/ South Carolina, USA

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to consult and share with you today.  It has been enlightening. You hit the nail on the head… I have been too critical and hard on myself, being an extreme perfectionist. My expectations of myself and others are too high. I will definitely start implementing the ‘third entity’ concept in my relationship with others and am now confident that I will attract loving relationships into my life.  Thank you for your gifts.” Angelin L., Vision Health Coach, Presenter/ SINGAPORE

“I have known Dr. Anne Merkel for approximately ten years. Anne is a very intelligent and dynamic person, and a joy to work with. She is also an excellent facilitator of seminars, discussion groups, and team building sessions. I was impressed with her abilities in this area to the point that I hired her to conduct several sessions for our company. Dr. Merkel understands people and she understands businesses and their needs. I feel she is quite honest and confident, and if she represents to you that she can accomplish a task for you, she can do it, and do it well.” Frank Carpenter, Past President, State Utility Contractors, Inc./ Monroe, North Carolina, USA
