Client Testimonials

“When I engaged with Anne, I was suffering from a major confidence crisis. I had accomplished many things in my life and career. Despite this, the future seemed uncertain in my toxic work situation. Anne helped me see that the situation at work had nothing to do with my skills and capabilities. She helped ground me in my own inner strength and truth. With her support, I found the courage to ask for what I needed to feel safe and whole at work. Her guidance and support have been invaluable in helping me to accomplish some big, hairy, audacious goals and set myself up for future success.”

Anna Hughes, Director of User Research, Promethean

“Working with Anne was the most valuable thing I’ve ever done. It wasn’t what I thought it would be. I really wanted someone to tell me what to do in my career, but it was far better. She helped me connect to my values and purpose, and improved my self-worth and confidence, I ended up realizing that it wasn’t that my job was a poor fit, it was how I was showing up. I reframed my thinking and my day-to-day actions, which made things better and I had the courage to ask for a promotion and got it!”

Cameron Wicker, Senior Advertising Account Director

“Anne has the unique ability to guide me through the process of organizing my thoughts and ideas to create a clear and succinct plan to overcome my biggest challenges, both personally and professionally. She helps me uncover and celebrate the talents and skills I already possess and identify ways to use them to my advantage. I am gaining confidence and learning a lot about myself and what I’m capable of achieving.”
