Meet Anna

ICF Credentialed Coach, Coach Educator, Mentor & Supervisor

In my coaching role I love working with people who are motivated to make transformational changes and focus their attention on what truly matters to them. Since 2003 I have brought honesty, compassion and realism to my consulting, coaching, and facilitation roles, along with highly relevant formal qualifications.

As a coach educator I lead a team of experienced facilitators and ICF credentialed coaches who have built a reputation for delivering high quality and personalised coach training.

I've always been interested in people - my learning as a young person had much less to do with the school curriculum than it did with observing the relationships, interactions, and dynamics between people.

Real world experience saw me leave school at the age of 15 to live and work independently. At 18 I was living and working in Sydney, Australia, and by 24 I was in an intercultural and interreligious marriage travelling within Europe and living in Israel. It wasn't until later in life that I undertook study in Sociology, Employment Relations, Career Development, and Professional Coaching.

I've had several career changes over the years and have been self-employed since 1993 in one form or another. The most significant career change was a shift from the corporate world to being self-employed again 2007, resulting from a complete re-assessment of what was important to me. Working with a coach to understand my values and strengths, and to define who I wanted to 'be' in the world was instrumental in finding fulfilment and meaning in my life and work.

Since my initial coach training in 2011 I've continued to expand my coaching knowledge in Leadership, Multiple Brain Integration (mBIT), Mindfulness, Ontology (Way of Being), Neuroscience, and Mental Health. Additionally, I have designed and delivered ICF Accredited Coach Training programs since 2017.
