Individually, we strive for "arête" — the Greek ideal of virtue, excellence and realizing one's highest potential. But, we are at our best when we draw on the power of symbiosis — a mutually advantageous relationship where the whole is vastly greater than the sum of its parts. From the combination of these ideals — symbiotic relationships and arête — "Symarété" was created.

While we both come from the legal and corporate worlds, we each express our knowledge, talents and passions differently. But, at the core, we offer our gifts of intellect, intuition and insight to our clients and to our professions. And, we help our clients recognize how they, too, can draw on their own gifts of intellect, intuition and insight to reach their highest the potential.

INTELLECT  ·  INTUITION  ·  INSIGHT

• Intellect — ability to acquire knowledge, reason, and understand
• Intuition — instinctive understanding; power of knowing without learning or reasoning
• Insight — perception and understanding of a thing's nature; discernment; an elucidating glimpse

Intellect. We believe in the power of the mind, the capacity for knowledge and understanding, the importance of critical reasoning, and the ability to think creatively and profoundly. Our unique perspective takes intellect a step further. We relish living in the questions and expanding our learning. Let us help you appreciate your intellect and use it at the right time, in the right manner, and for the right reasons. Reach your highest potential.

Intuition. We all have intuition — that inner, inherent knowledge. The power is getting to that point where you "just know", where you have "that feeling", and you trust it. It comes from having a basis for the knowledge — the intellect — but then allowing that knowledge to process on a subconscious level. Intuition is essential to knowing ourselves, making decisions in the world and connecting with others. Let us help you learn to rediscover, listen to, and trust your intuition. Reach your highest potential.

Insight. We believe that insight comes when intellect and intuition are perfectly balanced, and through insight comes the ability to reach your potential. But the key is finding that balance and using it properly. Let us help you find your balance. Reach your highest potential.

How does this show up in Symarété?
Intellectually, both Diane and Kimberly are bright, accomplished and naturally curious, and both are "quick studies". Both Diane and Kimberly are life-long learners. Both enjoy the prospect of a new opportunity and the challenge of a knotty issue. Because, as lawyers, Diane and Kimberly were immersed in the Socratic method, they appreciate the intellectual value of asking questions and getting to the heart of the matter.

When it comes to intuition, they are — or, at least were — worlds apart. Diane rarely tapped into her intuition consciously, even though she is constantly making lightning fast connections between ideas, concepts and possibilities. She just thought that making these connections was logical and that everybody did that. Diane has expanded her appreciation for intuition and taps into those inklings much more freely. Kimberly, on the other hand, always knew she had the gift of intuition. She just knew that "intuitively". This is one of Kimberly's strengths. And, Kimberly sought to learn more about intuition and the body. Kimberly is now a Master Certified Hypnotherapist, a Reiki Master-Teacher and an advanced EFT practitioner.

Diane and Kimberly believe that insight is one of the most significant contributions they can give to their clients. Whether a client wishes to enhance his or her personal development or to lead a major organization through a fundamental change, the client will appreciate the observations, questions, guidance, resources and support that Diane and Kimberly offer.

When you get to know them as individuals, it is no wonder that they have come together to advance their visions.
