 Bio
“
Let no one ever leave you without being better.” Mother Teresa
Ari Carol has been working with groups for over a decade to help
people discover their passion for life and a greater appreciation
for the unique gift each person brings to their world. As the foundation
for his life and work Ari values respect, humor, and an unwavering
desire to bring people together to create widespread peace and compassion.
As a mental health professional Ari is a LCSW, Licensed Clinical
Social Worker, with training and certified expertise in brief therapy,
models of change, conflict resolution, addictions counseling, diversity
training, program development and evaluation, grant writing, and
playology.
A leader in challenge course programs since 1994, he has brought
the power of humor to diverse groups of people in the U.S. Russia,
Kenya, and the Philippines. Ari offers extensive experience working
with corporations, families, and schools emphasizing the value
and power inside each person.
Ari not only applied his skills and passion as a family therapist
but as a facilitator in a variety of environments. From the beginning
of his work with incarcerated and foster youth, through working
as an in-home family therapist with families from the Department
of Social Services, to his current work in public schools as a
expert in community building, Ari has always maintained the importance
of using humor, sincerity and genuiness as core beliefs.
From there came the natural progression into the experiential
training field. Currently, Ari’s training provides him the
opportunity to run programs incorporating rock climbing, snow shoeing,
challenge courses, rafting, storytelling, classroom workshops,
music, art, and orienteering. He has also turned these skill toward
more traditional indoor work with corporations and has co-created
training’s to increase the effectiveness for those working
with groups such as HR directors, trainers, and facilitators. Ari
has coached senior managers from companies such as T-Mobile Communications
to increase employee efficiency and retention.
In 2001, Ari began his affiliation with the Fearless Living Institute.
This connection has not only allowed him the opportunity for incredible
personal growth but also the honor of taking the concepts of personal
power and responsibilty to others through groups and teen leadership
conferences.
In 11 years in the industry Ari has facilitated 100’s of
programs for dozens of school districts, corporations, federal
and non-profit agencies, and personal growth seminars.
“ A hundred
years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the
sort of house I lived
in, or the kind of
car I drove ...
but the world may be different because I was important in the life
of a child.”
