  • “Ale has challenged me at various points of my professional journey to deconstruct and to reconstruct. As a coach, he has guided me towards meaningful ways to spark and sustain social change in leadership roles. As a result of Ale’s mentorship I bring a higher level of awareness to educational spaces and I feel more prepared for humanizing, inclusive communication.”
  • “His connections with participants are personalized and heartfelt, and his strengths-based, heuristic approach supports an increase in both a depth and breadth of understanding.”
  • “Mindful, moving, and empowering, Ale shows students, faculty, and staff which tools best fit them individually to engage with the community.”
  • “I have delighted in Ale’s ability to honor where participants are and then offer new perspectives and tools using his own powerful stories and examples. Participants seem to easily relate to Alé and are inspired by him to deepen their self-work and increase their capacity to create meaningful change. I have been especially impressed with how consistently Alé explores both his marginalized and privileged identities to connect with participants and model so powerfully how they can acknowledge and own the full breadth of their intersecting identities.”
