Let's Talk About That Voice Inside Your Head

… you know the one. It’s full of limiting beliefs and harsh criticism that you wouldn’t tolerate coming from anyone else!

An onslaught of self-doubt telling you that you don’t have what it takes; that success was intended for others, not you.

This leaves you feeling aggravated and confused. Your career plateaus & you begin to think: maybe this is ‘it’ for me.

I understand how frustrating it is to bump up against your inner critic, over and over again.

I also know you CAN overcome this mindset!

LET’S DISCUSS …

How do you get "un-stuck" professionally?

Talking it out with your friends and family is not getting you anywhere – it’s time to get qualified help. As a discerning, highly intuitive listener, I can quickly identify the bottleneck to your progress, then work side-by-side with you in developing a plan to help you achieve the outcome you’re seeking.

What do you do when you know what you want but you don't know how to get it?

There is a recipe – the ingredients include creativity, a no-limits mindset, and a plan. We will customize a step-by-step roadmap to help you navigate your unique circumstances over a timeline that suits your needs.

How do you handle professional transitions?

Some clients have been recruited for a new position or career opportunity, said “yes”,  then suddenly feel unqualified; other clients are eager to move into their next career phase but want an ally along for the ride. Whatever the circumstances surrounding your impending change, I’d love to be your co-pilot.   

How do you push past your fears?

The most successful people ascend to new heights professionally despite experiencing fear and intimidation on a regular basis. They don’t become fear-less, but rather, they know how to push past their fears in service of ongoing growth and goal attainment. I will help you optimize your abilities by teaching you techniques to overcome your fears. 

I help aspiring executive women grow beyond their limiting beliefs through coaching and online resources so they can experience career growth & personal fulfillment.

It was very helpful to talk with Anne about the skills I am using in my current work and how they will transfer to and open up other pathways for me. It is often hard to step outside of the work you are doing and see that you can redefine your skillset. Being able to talk about a vision and next steps with Anne helped so much. She was able to look at my current body of work and help me re-categorize the assets I have and make them marketable in a different context. The simple exercise of a resume review was extremely helpful – putting + and – next to the areas I wanted to continue and not continue.

Anne’s manner with me, during what was a volatile personal time, was compassionate and understanding. Her support was incredibly important as I was having to rethink what both my professional life and personal life would look like in the next 3 to 5 years. Anne: do not underestimate what you are bringing to the table as a life coach for those of us in transition in our both our careers and lives!

With 20+ years of experience, I really thought that already I knew how to advance my career. I got myself this far, right? I always enjoyed Anne’s Instagram feed and felt heard through her posts as a working woman & Mom. Her energy is contagious. As I found myself at a professional crossroads weighing work and family obligations, working with Anne empowered me to think differently and work towards new goals that felt like a better fit for me. What’s next? What would make me feel excited & proud in my career? What would make it worthwhile? I felt like she was speaking to the little voice inside of me that was begging to be heard, the one that was wanting me to make a big change. The one that was repeatedly pushed aside by reason or circumstance or even a bit of self-doubt, which is tough for a confident woman to admit. She helped me reprioritize my path to align my goals with where I wanted to be…not just what I felt was probably the expected, or safest, next step for me. Anne supported and encouraged me to push ahead with my passions while understanding a need to balance those pursuits with the obligations that I needed to meet for my family.

I had my annual review coming up and knew I wanted/needed to ask for a raise. I also knew I needed an extra push and a large dose of encouragement. The first person I reached out to for guidance (and that needed push) was Anne. Anne coached me on how to frame the conversation, suggested different talking points, and even helped me to develop a Plan A, B, and C depending on how the conversation went. Anne and I also discussed a specific percentage increase as my goal.

Thanks in large part to Anne, I received the percentage increase I requested. What’s more, I had a productive conversation with my supervisor and gained quite a bit of confidence from the experience. Anne was front and center cheering me on the entire time.

As a business executive, Anne knows the intricacies of “how it all works.”  When you work with her, you gain that edge that makes all the difference. Not to mention, she’s just an outstanding human being and a joy to work with! Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, Anne!
