I found in ArLyne a person with an exceptional level of intelligence and capability for innovative, independent thought, reason ... [and] intellectual honesty. Dr. ArLyne Diamond has a remarkable gift for helping people achieve a far higher level of psychological well being than they might otherwise have felt possible. At the core of this "gift" is the great depth of caring, emotional sensitivity and human empathy she possesses, and her deep and abiding belief in the innate value and possibility of each individual.

The four hours I spent with you were highly valuable. The information was practical and immediately applicable to my work, as it would be to any manager who interviews, hires, tracks performance and sometimes, unfortunately, fires....Your presentation of the material was interesting, the pace was right, your examples were relevant and reflected your experience.
I truly enjoyed the entire workshop as well as finding it practical.

...I noticed many positive changes within our staff,...The session you facilitated was professionally organized and effectively presented. Your ability to bring each individual into discussion as well as your ability to keep us from "wandering" was much appreciated. I felt that we were able to discuss many complex and sensitive areas, and the end result was a better understanding of each individual's role within our operational team. ... It is very common to hear individuals comment on an improved working atmosphere and a higher level of communication has developed... as a direct result of our Management Development session. The improved atmosphere and communication level has had a positive impact on our staff's morale and has even boosted productivity.

Your degree of knowledge on the subject matter - Sexual Harassment, Myth vs. Facts - was extremely impressive and your delivery of the material equally skillful. The feedback from our employees has been wonderful.
Thank you for making a subject that, in someone else's hands, could have been very awkward. Not only was it not awkward, but I have actually received requests for additional training sessions, from those same employees who felt they didn't need it in the first place.
Ellen R. Fox, Personnel Director, Tichenor Media System, Inc.

I highly recommend ArLyne - her facilitation skills are superb, 
her integrity unquestioned, and her contribution in terms of both "soft skills"
as well as subject matter expertise are excellent.
Lori Kendall, Vice-President Genesys Telecommunications Labs, Inc.

She has helped us in formalizing personnel policies, streamlining office procedures, preparing an office manual, team building, resolving internal conflicts, office redesign, and even interior decorating. Through customer service training and business and marketing development she helped my accountants increase their client base significantly. She has all of the qualities that business managers and owners seek in that she is dedicated, dependable, and gets results. In my opinion her strongest point is that she's incredibly smart, cuts through a lot of the fog, and gets to the bottom line in an incredibly short time. She also earns the respect and trust of employees who are willing to risk making change with her help.
