Overview
Ann is an executive coach with a business consultancy background in strategy, change management and process thinking. She specialises in coaching teams for strategic clarity and continuing business success, and individuals for development, leadership transitions, and managing change. Ann helps clients to recognise their strengths and capabilities, gain insights and make valuable, lasting changes. She provides a safe, thoughtful but challenging space where people ‘turn the key to open the door’ – a chance to understand, recognise and be more themselves by implementing small internal changes that yield disproportionate results in the outside world.
Ann has 20+ years consulting at senior levels in companies across the range of business sector, business life cycle and market reach. She has extensive experience in international, cross-cultural settings and in science-based and technical environments.
