Coaching with Anna

Leadership and Career Coach

Leadership and career development complement each other as you lead yourself and others with a clear sense of direction and confidence.

Leadership development might include developing an impactful leadership approach, leveraging your strengths, increasing your presence, or becoming more confident with decision-making.

Career development might include clarifying your direction, improving communication, defining your personal brand, or navigating a career transition.

Wherever you might be in your personal and professional journey, coaching offers the opportunity to raise your self-awareness and gain insight into your thoughts, patterns, beliefs, behaviours and emotional responses that ultimately determine your success.

When I talk about success, I'm referring to the things that matter most to you; how and who you want to be, what you want to do and have in your life - personally and professionally. I'm not talking about living up to what you think others expect or want from you or sacrificing your enjoyment of life for a version of success that doesn't align with your values or beliefs, or what it takes to be 'someone'. Keeping in mind our responsibilities and commitments we can choose fulfilling lives and live in alignment with our values. 

Most people choose to work with a coach because they want something different - a change that will improve their life. When we engage with another person who can notice and highlight what we don't necessarily see ourselves, and who sees us as resourceful and capable, providing non-judgemental support, we are empowered to achieve our goals and aspirations. 

Having someone in our corner prompting us to reflect on what we are thinking and saying, how we are being, and what we are doing, creates awareness. Awareness is the key to shifts in thinking and behaving.

We gain insight by uncovering our own answers and thinking about our challenges from a different perspective. The coach provokes thought by listening deeply, asking skilful questions, being fully present, reflecting and clarifying.
