"Annie brought enormous compassion, understanding and authenticity to our coaching. With her support I have been able to explore and accept parts of myself that previously I have been too ashamed or frightened to face, but which were driving attitudes and behaviours that were destructive to my sense of self and to my relationships. Annie has given me tools that have become integral to how I approach my day. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone who feels the need to change how they feel about themselves."
Kate Smith, Strategic Brand Consultant, New Zealand
"Because of client confidentiality rules, you weren't able to tell the world that I'm one of the very fortunate women who is thriving today because of the (work) we did together. But, because I'm the client, I can sing your praises to the world. Let me sing a song of Annie... You helped me to identify some long-standing patterns in my life that were holding me back from achieving greater happiness and health. As a result of what I learned during our coaching sessions, I started to see a new world of possibilities for myself -- possibilities that I had been afraid to embrace because I didn't have enough faith in myself. Every day, I am living out the blueprint that we developed together."
Ann Douglas, Author
"There are not enough words to describe how I feel about the relationship we have had over the past 9 months. Your insight, your patience, your kindness and toughness have all been appreciated. I have learned, or maybe better, re-affirmed things about myself I had forgotten. You were there, your full non-judgemental self when I needed you and you helped me see clearly through difficult situations. I am making a difference and I can make a positive impact on all aspects of my life and I want to thank you for reminding me of how strong and courageous I am...."
Francine Piché, Director, Human Resources, Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc.
"Annie helped me realize the impact I have on others, learn how to listen more effectively, how to coach my leaders, focus on employees' strengths, manage change more effectively, be an authentic leader by speaking from the gut, "tell the hard truth", set very clear and specific goals.... And how could I forget - I don't have to do everything myself!"
