Ann is a sought-after Coach, Trainer and Leader in the ever-growing Personal Development, Leadership and Coaching industries. Ann’s love of the outdoors and her unique, experiential style of leadership bring her work alive. Clients experience powerful, hands on, learning in a fun and down to earth way. Ann blends her wide range of intelligence, intuition and leadership skills with the specific needs of each client. While working with Ann, clients are able to access the truth of who they are, the skills they bring to life and create strategies to move forward in alignment with this vision.

Ann spent several years in a Fortune 500 company as a Training and Development expert. Some samples of her work include:

• Designing and delivering a customer service coaching program which taught employees how to more effectively train new hires and increase customer satisfaction.
• Developing and leading an Interview Skill Building and Resume Writing programs for departments affected by workforce reduction.
• Coaching and training Contact Center employees to enhance their leadership and coaching skills.

These types of programs are what launched Ann into a newer and more innovative role as a Personal Development and Leadership Coach. She had a vision and saw the value and benefit of coaching others on how to design goals, develop strategies and declare outcomes for the sake of growing themselves, their employees and ultimately their company.

Ann holds her certification through The Coaches Training Institute. She furthered her Leadership skills through a yearlong program with CTI. This program is far different from any leadership training offered in the corporate world. Instead of teaching people to ‘manage’, they truly teach people to ‘lead’. Ann has designed, developed and co-lead workshops using this methodology across the country. She has created deep learning and facilitated lasting change.
