What past clients have to say…
“I highly recommend Anna as a coach. My own experience has been fantastic and so valuable. During our coaching engagement, I’ve moved to a new role within my company, changed how I approach problems, found closer alignment of my own purpose and values with those of my organisation, increased my confidence in things like external networking, and my mental health has significantly improved overall.”
-Owen
“Anna supported me as a coach during a period of tremendous change professionally and it was the best thing I did! She was the anchor that kept me focused on what my ultimate life and career goals are and what my rocking chair moment was, which was to create a happy and positive environment for me and my family to thrive in and to have a job enabled me to do that.”
-Marion

How you can work together
Anna typically works with clients in the following ways:
AN INTENSIVE 90-MINUTE POWER SESSION – Ideal for a specific topic or challenge such as nailing your elevator pitch, reviewing your LinkedIn profile, or assessing a new opportunity, we’ll get super focused to get you the clarity you’re after in just one session.
A 3-MONTH COACHING PROGRAMME – We’ll work together on your specific objectives, such as answering the question, “What’s next?”, crafting and bringing to life your personal brand, or designing more effective work-life integration for you and your family.
A 1-DAY IN-PERSON SESSION – There’s nothing like a one-day deep-dive to make massive progress together in a short space of time. This session can also be adapted to be virtual, depending on location and availability.
