“What I appreciated about working with Avi was her ability to hold multiple perspectives while ensuring that all dialogues led back to our values. She worked across many departments to understand the root cause of friction points, & kept our aim in sight and challenged me to hold on to the good that got us here while letting go of what no longer served us. She is a highly skilled consultant rooted in ritual, experience, and learning who can tease out the pinch points and shine a light with love and compassion when needed.”
