Anthony, Financial Adviser

“Working with Anne has been amazing. After meeting her last year, and then working with her this year, I have learnt a lot and it has really helped in my day-to-day life. There was no lead time to get going, it was straight into it with immediate results. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Marc, Investment Banker

“I have been working with Anne for a number of months now. After initially meeting with Anne, I knew she had the right vision and values to support me develop my business. Already having had a small business for a number of years, Anne re-ignited the fire in my belly and refocused me! She understood me as an individual with my own quirks and challenges, and certainly provides bespoke support rather than a prescribes ‘one size fits all model’. She’s pushed me out of my comfort zone and supported me to believe in myself, knowledge and skills and realise that I am an ‘expert’ in my field. Anne is a one stop shop for everything business related, not just coaching. She has also supported me practically with IT, processes and marketing. I would 100% recommend anyone looking at starting or developing their small business to get in touch and have a chat with her!”

Rebecca, Parenting Coach

“Business coaches….what can I say…..I’ve always had a bit of a downer on them. I’ve always felt, they have a failed business and ended up trying to tell people how to run theirs or they focused on the elements that never really mattered and so missed the point for me. Then Anne came along. She didn’t mince her words which is something I was missing as a business owner. Sometimes is all to easy to push something aside as there’s no one to answer too, she brought this element back for me. Through the coaching sessions, I have gained a newfound perspective on my business and have been able to identify areas of improvement that I never would have considered without her guidance. She has challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and embrace new techniques and strategies that have led to looking to put longer term plans in place to grow from a business who winged it for the first 5 years to one who works out how they are looking to grow and develop. Being a business owner is a lonely existence sometimes and having that sounding board there to help but also challenge ideas has been invaluable. I am grateful for all of Annes support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their business to the next level.”
