"Working with Ugh Work has been a transformative process on every level for our law firm. Aaron gave
us the tools we needed to gain both work/life balance and efficiency, which is not an easy task!
Aaron really challenged us to follow through on that plan and gave us direction to implement the steps to
really take our practice to the next level. We have increased revenue and been able to keep turn over to a minimum, which gives us more confidence to operate as attorneys and as humans.”

"Aaron and his team took a data-driven yet accessible approach to identifying where we were as
an organization, where we wanted to be, and how we were going to get there. The process and outcomes helped us focus our efforts in engaging our talent and keeping a critical line of employee-manager communication open for the future.”

"Thank you to Ugh, Work for sponsoring our Houston Association of Professional Landmen (HAPL) event.
We truly appreciate the support for our industry. In oil and gas, especially in land departments, we deal with complex negotiations, tight deadlines, and a lot of cross-team coordination — and that pressure can take a toll on how we communicate and operate.
The type of evidence-based workplace psychology that Ugh, Work provides is incredibly valuable for our industry. What stands out about their approach is how grounded everything is in real science - data-driven and tailored to how high-pressure teams actually work.
Landmen and oil & gas teams need solutions that work in demanding environments. This kind of scientific approach to workplace dynamics is exactly what our industry needs."

"I had the pleasure of working with Aaron in multiple capacities, particularly in designing and executing an assessment strategy to accelerate the development of high-potential leaders and strengthen leadership at all levels. His approach ensured that participants experienced tailored development opportunities at each stage, fostering both self-awareness and awareness of others.
Aaron is a skilled facilitator who seamlessly engages teams at all levels. I had the opportunity to co-facilitate with him as we supported an international leadership team navigating a business transformation. Our work focused on aligning their structure, processes, and practices with their new strategy while helping the team leverage their diverse perspectives to enhance collaboration and performance.
Aaron brings insight, thoughtfulness, and pragmatism to his work. He is highly effective in working with leaders across all levels and is a trusted collaborator who drives meaningful impact. I highly recommend him to any organization seeking to strengthen leadership and team development."
