What Clients Say
"Hi Ann
I sat down yesterday and reviewed all my coaching session notes of the past 12 months and decided to send you this note to say a big thank you. You can use it anywhere you want because if it results in you helping more people, then that’s what I want.
It’s been a year since you started working with me as my business coach. In that time you’ve provided both guidance and challenges for me, especially in terms of leadership and my relationships with my staff. The coaching has always been based on my needs, not on what you thought I needed. This business coaching was (and still is) extremely helpful.
As the year progressed through the inevitable corporate organizational changes and priorities, I found myself becoming overwhelmed and depressed. I was living to work, not working to live. Ann, you adjusted your coaching style to help me deal with these issues. Our sessions became centered more around the “personal me” and not the “business me.”
Thank you for helping me discover what really matters in life, helping me through my lifelong dependency on the approval of others to feel good, helping me develop coping mechanisms…helping me with a lot of things that we sometimes forget about when we’re not living a balanced lifestyle.
I am very thankful to you for being a major reason that I am now working to live. Thank you, Ann."
- Eric, Senior Manager of a very large corporation
“Working with Ann has been pure joy. As my business now faces a new era of growth and momentum, her confidentiality and business experience is still important to me. I recommend Ann for anyone looking to reach the next level of business.”

"Ann – Here’s a quick note to thank you for helping me prioritize and focus my energy so I have time to work ON my business rather than IN my business. As I work through this period in my business, the right plan and executing it in a timely manner, is helping me make the most of every effort that I direct toward my business. In the current state of my markets, I cannot afford to spin my wheels. Your wealth of business experience helps me find clarity for decision making. Thank you for helping me find the traction to succeed. "
- Dave Coates, President – Ergorisk Management Ltd.

"In our coaching sessions Ann gave me the impetus and guidance to develop my personal values and vision as well as begin to chart new directions for my company. I am very grateful that I was able to finally articulate my values and vision for the next chapters of my life. When a crisis hit, Ann helped me look inward at who I am and where I want to be. I am now moving forward again with renewed passion and confidence."

"Like professional athletes, executives also need coaching to reach their star potential. Not only is Ann coaching me to my executive potential she is pushing me to new heights and directions. With guidance and coaching the world is my stage."
- Steve Nicholson, Sales Executive
"I was skeptical whether a strong-willed person could benefit from coaching. I didn't look forward to someone telling me how I should become the person I was meant to be. I'm happy to say I was wrong and that it was an eye opener.
Don't get me wrong, there's more to it than just setting a goal. This is not motivational magic - a recipe for instant success. It's about planning the route to a destination with realistic goals. It's about priorities, time frames and dealing with distractions. Thanks to Ann I am well on the path to achieving what I want today. I know what I want and I have the tools to get me there."
- M. Barcos, Writer
"I was at a midpoint in my life and knew I needed to make some significant changes. I had many ideas on what I wanted out of my life but needed to clarify what was important. My many good intentions and ideas were not being translated into action and accomplishments. Through coaching with Ann, I was able to define my values, set priorities, and figure out how to be the person I wanted to be while working through to meet my goals. Life is one big adventure that I am now embracing with enthusiasm and joy."
- BJL, Marketing Manager
