  • Aden’s caring and personal approach, along with improvisation background, make for a lively & engaging learning process.
    Dr. Paddy Tawada
  • Aden's "Reason in an Outraged World" workshop was exceptional! When we're having a difficult conversation, it's easy to get caught up in our own point of view and judgements we make unconsciously and so risk damaging the relationship with the other person. In her workshop, I learned and practiced ways to have an engaging discussion that will make everyone feel heard and respected - even if they disagree with what I have to say. The result is that I can "see" other points of view without needing to agree with them, value their intent, grow my own horizons and even strengthen those relationships. Thank you, Aden!

  • Aden is professional, fun, smart and cool under pressure. She can handle every part of a speaking engagement: connecting with clients, creating dazzling presentation visuals, organizing her thoughts, being present in the moment with the audience, and following up with individuals afterwards. She's a pleasure to work with and makes those around her better for it.
