The transformative power of coaching

Ann helps leaders to achieve expansive goals and develop a mindset that allows them and their teams to thrive, develop their leadership skills and transform the way they work in times of change.

For organisations:

How does it work?

Ann does not use AI platforms, apps or pre-recorded video content in her coaching packages. She believes that building rapport, establishing trust and opening communication is vital for effective and transformative coaching. This is why all coaching is live and bespoke.

She starts with a thorough assessment of your needs and together you identify your goals and objectives. From there, she designs a coaching package that might include individual, group, team sessions with assessments alongside, for example using a 360 tool.

She specialises in: developing global leaders in times of rapid growth, building effective and high performing teams in challenging situations and growing middle level leaders for tomorrow.

For Individuals

Executive coaching: taking you to the next level with confidence and ease

Ann specialises in helping successful senior leaders who are courageous and thoughtful to get clarity on their next career steps, up-level their thinking and transition into new roles with confidence and authenticity.

The results are often life-changing with clients reporting that they achieve goals within their coaching journey far greater than they had imagined! They report feeling more confident to lead others and their organisations and happier in their work.

Your definition of success

We start by looking at your definition of success: what does that mean for you? From there, we define your goals, explore what is truly important to you, the beliefs you need to assure you succeed and coaching gives you the accountability you need to take those steps with confidence.

Recently we asked our individual clients to describe their coaching experience with Ann. Here are some words that came up frequently:

powerful, insightful, focused, sensitive, thought-provoking, practical, compassionate, intelligent, challenging, motivating, energising, with ongoing results, rigorous, creative…

Coaching is a powerful partnership where the results are indeed limitless and yours alone: your goals, your actions, your results.

Coaching gives you the space to think deeply, creatively, to question and challenge your beliefs, to make decisions with clarity and commit to taking action. It gives you a framework to challenge yourself, see your blindspots and take action. Taking action is key! If you want to embark on coaching, you must be ready to make changes.

You will get support every step of the way — Ann provides a non-judgemental and safe space to explore what you really want and make it happen.

“Would highly recommend to any senior leaders wishing to raise their game…”

After 20 years as a Director and having participated in many coaching sessions during this time I was delighted to find myself engaged, enthused and most importantly have some tangible action points following my coaching with Ann. Her warm and open approach was so different from so many other coaches and leads you to involve yourself completely in the training. The sessions were meaningful and soul searching and really helped me to evaluate who I was as a leader and who I wanted to be. I found the sessions inspirational, enjoyable and would highly recommend to any senior leaders wishing to raise their game and take themselves to the next level.

“I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect…but it has been transformational.”

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from the coaching, but I have to say it has been transformational.  Ann's ability to make you feel at ease and ask the right questions really sets the tone for each session.  She managed to get me to take a step back and reflect, not just on who I am as person but what are my goals professionally,

Coaching has given me greater confidence in my leadership skills and inspired me to make the 'should' a could! 

I can't thank Ann enough.

“Her method is unique…you end up challenging yourself and at the same time appreciating your self-worth”

A fellow colleague introduced me to Ann.

The role Ann played was not a of mentor, but someone who has helped me facilitate my own thought process and self-reflection. Steering in the direction without letting other factors impact what one wants to achieve with clarity and focus. Her method is unique. In fact, you end up challenging yourself and at the same time appreciating your self-worth and your abilities, as I used to self-criticise at not a healthy level. A true testament of her ability to assist one.

The changes are small, but the impact is significant, mentally and how you deal with challenges that come your way.  She has helped me to reframe my thinking, perspective, and mindset especially in a highly pressured environment, where no one day is the same.  She has helped me to establish and communicate my boundaries with clarity, assertiveness, and confidence.  The result being able to establish a healthy life/work balance which works for me.

The most important thing - she also helped me to believe in myself and that it is ok to applaud oneself.

I highly recommend Ann to anyone in a leadership role.

“The impact on myself and my team cannot be overstated.”

As a leader, I always felt my experience to be isolated – I was managing a team but who was managing me to the next level? I realized that I had to equip myself with the tools to be able to do that myself and this is when I came across coaching. Ann was a superb fit for me in this sense, because she was able to reflect back to me, with great insight, my weaknesses and how to amplify my strengths.

This gave me a true sense of identity that I lacked before as a leader, and the impact on myself and my team cannot be overstated.

I am now in a position where I can lead with confidence, able to identify challenges and surpass them with solutions that feel true to my character. 

Rogério Silva, Creative Director at Improbable, UK

“Really effective in holding you accountable around the goals you set”

This Leadership Coaching and Book Club 12 month programme is really effective in holding you accountable around the career goals you set with Ann. It not only keeps you on track with those long term goals but Ann also helps you work through challenges that may arise along the way.

She has a very unique way of getting you to "your" answers. The books she assigns you to read throughout the program really supplement your personal tool kit with new ways to think through challenges at work and in life.

I've always wanted to be part of a business associated book club and this program did not disappoint.

I really appreciate the blend of coaching and books and look forward to continuing to gain more leadership skills from the program.

“Thanks to Ann, there is a burgeoning sense of self-awareness among our eldest students.”

It has been a real privilege to work with Ann over the last eighteen months. She has been an invaluable support as we have sought to develop our leadership and coaching platforms for our Sixth Form students.

The impact of Ann’s coaching at key pinch-points during the academic year has been measurable: our recent leavers have displayed signs of increased resilience, whilst our existing students have shown greater awareness of their own leadership potential and capacity. Thanks to Ann, there is a burgeoning sense of self-leadership among our eldest students; they are maturing into self-motivated agents who are now equipped and determined to lead local projects in the best interests of all those in our community.

“I have been able to implement many of the priorities that emerged from my sessions with Ann.”

I am so pleased that I had an opportunity to be coached by Ann. As an experienced Head Teacher with a good number of years in my current role it was an opportune time through my sessions to truly question and reflect upon some of the conventions of how I was leading, the prioritisation of my time as well as thinking how I could manage some potentially complex relationships within the organisation.

Ann was able to seek out some of the core issues while having the ability to challenge me and make really think about various aspects of my role. Now a new term has started I have been able to implement many of the priorities that emerged from my sessions with Ann.

“I would recommend her any time as a group coach”

Ann came to my team and facilitated two virtual sessions that were highly appreciated by me and the team. Working virtually and from home for a long time, we needed someone to come in and help us find the energy, connection and tools to make our working conditions sustainable and fun. Ann has a soft, but firm approach; she professionally engages people without making them feel forced, but still a challenged. The tools she brings to the table are simple, but effective. Her preparation, facilitation & follow-up was well planned and natural. I will continue working with Ann and would recommend her any time as a group coach and mentor.

“I have made some profound changes in my life”

It's been a pleasure and insightful experience having Ann as my coach over the past year. What I love the most about her style is that she creates a safe place for you to openly share the areas you hope to explore and ultimately improve. During each coaching session you know that Ann is 100% there for you both respecting how you are feeling in the moment while gently pushing you to go further in the internal exploration process. This is why Ann is successful in helping her clients make sustainable change in their lives. I hired Ann during a time of great uncertainty in my professional life as well as a dark time for all us which was during the height of COVID. I can honestly say that with the support of Ann, I have made some profound changes in my life which have had a positive impact on my life.

Suzanne Defache, HR Project Manager, France

"I can't believe how different I feel…I highly recommend her as a coach.”

I can’t believe how different I feel after only two weeks of working with Ann. Two weeks ago I had no energy and was feeling low and quite frankly, ill. Energy supplements and vitamins weren't making any difference.

Just by getting me to realise how and what I was thinking impacted my mood, Ann has helped me to turn that around. Rather than "I must" or "I have to", "I can"; "I do" and "I enjoy", have now become my watchwords. The change has been amazing! I still get tired after a long and busy day, but changing how I think about why I am making time to take that walk or go for that swim (because I enjoy it) totally changes how I feel about it and how I feel afterwards.

Ann is able to ask those questions you never ask yourself. Questions which help you find the answers that you realise you've had all along but were hidden from you until Ann helped uncover them.

Ann is empathetic, understanding and insightful. I highly recommend her as a coach."

“Progress is rapid and tangible…Ann is an incredibly powerful coach.”

Ann listens with great care, asks challenging questions with great sensitivity and whose entire approach is bespoke and tailored to the individual. There is no sense that one is joining a scheme which delivers a generic narrative. From the beginning Ann is focussed on the individual and helping them to release their inner leader!

Ann is simply brilliant at unlocking and exploring deeply ingrained attitudes and anxieties and identifying practical action which supports positive and confident progression. Ann is efficient and strategic so that progress is rapid and tangible. After only a few sessions I’d gained clarity on my values and purpose in a way that I could never have achieved on my own. We’d explored topics that I found challenging, but the process was fun, constructive and interesting so that we were able to quickly navigate some of the more knotty issues and keep moving forwards.

Ann is inspiring, sympathetic, flexible, supportive, challenging, intelligent and insightful. I really can’t recommend her highly enough. I look forward to our sessions which give me the space to reflect on my professional attitudes and practice so that I don’t obstruct my own purpose and indeed so that I can continue to lead with passion, focus and clarity.

“She has enabled me to translate thoughts into concrete goals…that I feel hugely excited about.”

All too often these things can be fun to do and reflect on as a leader, but have no lasting value as they don't translate into action. Coaching with Ann is the opposite of that. She has enabled me to reflect on my values and passions, but then translate those thoughts into concrete goals that will help me to develop my career in a way that is unique to me, and that I feel hugely excited about. Those goals are then translated into short and achievable actions for each month, so that I am held to account and can see real progress. She is intuitive and has often picked up on what I'm passionate about, without me even knowing it myself.

She is also incredibly kind and calm, an oasis in the work day! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

“Ann trains leaders to work with courage and curiosity.”

Her professional training is well conceptionated and offers interesting insights into personal values and aims. With tremendous passion and true appreciation she initiates personal development. Ann, you are encouraging. Thank you!

“Brilliant, efficient and very professional.”

Ann can help anybody to reveal their full potential. You just have to be open and ready for this personal development journey.

“My mindset has started to shift...”

I had a huge tendency before starting the programme, to wait until everything was perfect before wanting to make any changes or do anything differently.

Now my mindset has started to shift and I'm now making little changes and tweaks every day and thinking about what I'm doing and what my team is doing.
