Working with Anna over the last several years has been a privilege. When my manager first asked me if I’d be interested in meeting with a professional coach I was mortified.
I assumed that it meant that I needed to be fixed; that I was lacking in some way.
But from our first session, I realized that I had just been given a great gift.
Anna is a brilliant coach. She has the ability to hone right in on what I need to move through an issue and come out on the other side a stronger, more effective person.
One of my biggest fears was public speaking. Just the thought of it left me feeling sick and uncomfortable. But being able to speak effectively in public became more important as my career progressed. Using a variety of visualization and meditation techniques,
she has taken me from the timid wallflower who dreaded speaking up in meetings to someone who can communicate clearly and effectively in front of large audiences. And she did it with patience, skill, and understanding.
I have benefitted in countless other ways from Anna’s coaching. I have a new confidence that I never had before. I am a more effective manager, am more skilled at taking on difficult situations and resolving problems, and take less time to get things done, just to name a few. I believe that the last three promotions I’ve received are a direct result of the skills that I’ve developed with Anna.
One of the most amazing things about working with Anna is that no matter how much I’ve learned, she always has more to teach. As of this writing, I’ve been working with her for over 3 years and yet she never fails to cause my eyes to open really widely during one of our sessions because she’s just uncovered yet another roadblock to my success and given me a tool to move something forward in my professional or personal life. She is my biggest champion and has provided me with a roadmap to success. Working with Anna has been and continues to be one of the most meaningful and powerful experiences of my life.
