With care, clarity and focus, Ann moved a diverse group of people, ideas and objectives into a consolidated warm team. Her ability to listen and engage helped us and motivated us. Ann’s direct approach to problem solving added the leadership we needed and a method to allow us to feel heard and respected. One of the most important parts of her job was to be able to make everyone see the role they played and how important it was to the overall mission. Ann, in a beautiful and natural way, was able to do that. I came into the meeting unsure if we would find a solution and way forward that would get buy-in from all. I left with a smile on my face. Each member of the team had new confidence, understanding of a way ahead and respect for the project (in a way I have not seen in years). Ann’s organization of the meeting and skill set made all the difference and I recommend her as strongly as I can. She is a superb professional who understands the value of time, people and mission.
