Meet Your Coach!
Hi! I’m Ariel Hennig Wood, a Career Coach, Workplace Coach, and Founder of Parley Coaching. I'm all about helping people find purpose and meaning in their careers, and helping organizations and their teams create healthy, flourishing workplace cultures.
Are you at a career crossroads, feeling a bit lost or navigating the choppy waters of a job transition? I have been there, done that. I have danced with uncertainty, weathered layoffs, and found myself burnt out from marathon workdays that seemed endless. But guess what? I didn't just survive; I thrived.
I identified what wasn't working, made strategic pivots, and dove headfirst into up-skilling and revitalizing my career. Now, I'm on a mission to guide others into that same sense of fulfillment.
As your career expert, I'm here to empower you. Whether it's helping you unearth your ideal work, crafting a unique personal brand, or levelling up your team's workplace culture, I've got your back.
In 2021, fueled by my passion for nurturing thriving careers and cultivating positive workplace cultures, I waved goodbye to the corporate grind and launched Parley Coaching. With my years of experience in Human Resources, I've developed skills in building team cultures and guiding individuals toward their career goals.
With my background in Positive Psychology Coaching and credentials from the International Coaching Federation, I bring a hopeful, science-backed approach to my coaching, facilitation, and training.
So whether you're gearing up for a career transition or aiming to foster a flourishing workplace culture, let's team up and tackle those challenges together. Because with my expertise and your drive, there's no limit to what we can achieve.
But hey, don't just take my word for it—check out what some of my 100+ awesome clients have to say on the testimonials page!
