In our private coaching together, we can focus in on one or more of these pillars to tailor an individual programme to your situation and goals.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Voted ‘most likely to succeed’ and graduating top of her class aged 17, Anna studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford and then continued on to do a post-graduate degree in International Relations at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva.
Having ‘ended up’ in corporate marketing after her studies, she spent the formative years of her career in beauty and luxury brand management. Leaving her role at multinational Procter & Gamble to start her own company in 2013, she began her new entrepreneurial path by providing digital marketing consulting to well-known brands like Burberry through to exciting new start-ups and solopreneurs.
Anna now combines her decade of experience in corporate marketing with her training in coaching and positive psychology techniques to help people reimagine the next phase of their career, with a blend of life coaching and business mentoring.
Ideal for a specific topic or challenge such as clarifying your niche, nailing your elevator pitch, or assessing a new opportunity, we’ll get super focused to get you the clarity you’re after in just one session.
We’ll work together on your specific objectives, such as answering the question “What’s next?”, crafting and bringing to life your personal brand, or fleshing out your business plan. For existing clients, there is also the option of a 12-month programme.
There’s nothing like a one-day deep-dive to make massive progress together in a short space of time, and this session will help you lay out your strategy for the next 12 months. It can also be adapted to be virtual, depending on location and availability.
Or you can get in touch to book a call to design a bespoke programme that takes into account
your specific goals, challenges and schedule.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) describes coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential”. It’s a relatively new discipline, although it is also said to have its roots in the Socratic dialogue of ancient Greece. Coaching places the trust, and the responsibility, firmly in the client and in the coaching process. It is based on the understanding that partnering with a coach will help us to realise our potential, to create the life we want, faster and more easily than if we try to do it alone.
Anna’s approach is a combination of coaching on the one hand with business and brand mentoring, also employing techniques from positive psychology to support her clients as appropriate.
Coaching is not therapy. Therapy and counselling look into the past to understand what is hampering an individual’s emotional and psychological functioning. Coaching, on the other hand, assumes that the individual is “whole”, and is future focused and action oriented, looking into the past only to the extent of celebrating success and understanding how previous experience can help you in a current situation. Should we find that you need professional counselling support, Anna will recommend that you consult an expert with the appropriate training and qualifications.
A coach will be fully focused on you and your agenda in a safe and non-judgemental space. She will support you in clarifying your goals and in understanding what’s truly important to you, help you develop the mindset that you’ll need to achieve those goals, and hold you accountable to the commitments that you choose to make. The evidence on coaching shows a range of positive outcomes e.g. 80% of people saw
improved self-confidence, 73% saw improved relationships, 67% saw improved work-life balance, and 70% saw improved work performance. [Read more on the ICF website.]
Our coaching sessions will be virtual, usually taking place via Zoom, giving us the flexibility and convenience of working together wherever we happen to be. Anna has coached people in London and Cologne, Kuala Lumpur and Jordan, California and Taipei, so we can make it work. To facilitate this, we use ScheduleOnce, a scheduling software that allows us to manage the booking process smoothly.
From time to time, Anna does also offer in-person strategy sessions and workshops–obviously subject to availability and travel to London and the south of England.
If you can’t afford individual coaching, please consider the group offerings depending on your goals: the Academy, the Incubator and the Accelerator. Although we don’t currently offer pro bono coaching, we do have a wealth of resources available to you for free. Please (1) explore the archive of articles on the blog, (2) listen to the podcast, and (3) join the Facebook group.
For any other questions not covered here, get in touch
and we’ll help you get the information you need to make a decision.
Get on the phone with Anna to discuss your unique goals and situation to determine the best programme for you, so you can start taking action towards creating the business and lifestyle you desire.
Enjoy success on your own terms with a profitable, and enjoyable, business that supports your lifestyle and lets you say goodbye to that corporate life for good.
