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.

Ceo / Founder
Aleta is an amazing leader who understands the dynamics of leading people in the work plan. Her experience and training have helped us have a better understanding of each other within our workplace!

Christy

Aleta's advice positioned me to successfully resolve several tough employee situations. Moreover, not only were the individual issues handled with positive outcomes, but because Aleta took the time to clearly explain to me the underlying principles behind her advice, I've been able to apply her coaching in so many other instances in managing my team. Outstanding!

Maria

Ceo / Founder
Working with Aleta Maxwell, for the past 2 years has changed my life and the life of my non-profit and for-profit social enterprise. She has instilled in me a reflective nature that consistently motivates me to be the servant leader I've always wanted to be. Her ability to see past my initial remarks or circumstances to uncover deeply rooted patterns, negative beliefs or restrictive thoughts is uncanny. She has helped me grow my non-profit from a team of 3 to now, 16 people and growing. Aleta has coached me through toxic relationships in business within my start-up helping us grow from a team of 3 to a powerhouse team of 8! With Aleta Maxwell in my corner, I believe we will be able to hit our revenue triggers and our company goals for the next 5 years sooner than projected.
