“When I called Ann, I was struggling with (what seemed to be) broad and profound dysfunctional behaviors rooted in the program’s history, exasperated by ill-defined roles, and complicated by ill-conceived new initiatives. When we hung up, I had a new perspective, the understanding and confidence to take immediate action to remedy 85% of the problem, and a better understanding of options for sorting out the remaining issues. The time and stress saved by one phone call with Ann was astounding.”
Rev. Johanna McCune Wagner, Director of Religious Life, The Culver Academies
“Ann listens, understands, simplifies, reframes, and provides clear advice. She challenges my assumptions and forces me to face the real issues. I inevitably leave with a new perspective, better decisions, 3 - 4 specific action items, and the resolve and focus I need to get the right things done. On top of that, she has given me excellent time management and organizational tools, and has helped me engage and motivate my staff. I value every one of our conversations. If you are looking for a great coach to help you become more successful, I highly recommend you call Ann.”
