I can help you: *Create deeper and more productive relationships by listening in a new way. (This is not "active listening;" you may not even have heard of it.) *Break old habits and put new ones in place. I've done this work with more than 13,000 people. *Tap into a deep wellspring of motivation from your core values, not from “should” or “have to.” (I increased the income in my own business by 5X in a year using this approach.) It cuts stress and can prevent burnout. I've been coaching for 30 years, and I've trained coaches for two major corporations. At first I did it pro bono. Then I opened my own practice. I’ve also been a business owner for 41 years. I know the feeling of having everything on your shoulders and struggling to keep all the balls in the air, to succeed in business while somehow tending your health and personal life. And I’ve done personal growth work for 37 years, giving me a huge array of coaching tools and techniques. My experience includes six years as a quit smoking coach, so I can help with any behavior change you want to make. We find your authentic motivation, and ways to keep it alive over time. We look at your thoughts and feelings, shift your habits, find substitutes and distractions, set up your environment to make it easier, and line up effective support. I've done this with more than 13,000 people. As a business owner, I created a project that increased my income by 5X in 1 year. I overhauled my whole business. I looked deeply into my attitudes and beliefs to see where I was holding myself back. I examined my business practices and forms, and the way I interacted with clients. I re-did my office for a consistent image. And I took some risks I'd been afraid to take. It worked! The next year I made 5 times as much money, and I bought the house I’d been dreaming of. When I’m not coaching, I write memoir and personal essays; I also love singing and partner dancing. In winter I read, make soup, and hang out with my cats and my boyfriend by the fire. I live in North Bend, Washington, under Mt. Si.
"Because of Anne’s kind, playful, and unyielding devotion to my success, I now have a thriving business, extraordinary partnerships, a deeply-held belief that my work makes a difference in the world, and a life I love."
"Anne has coached me on clear, effective communication with my colleagues. She has had me move from misunderstanding or even conflict to tapping into our common intention and our mutual respect and friendship. She has coached me on giving up habits of self-doubt and pessimism, and on cultivating the habit of acknowledging myself as the successful businessman that I am. She has also coached me to give up being driven by a concern for survival, and to focus instead on creating a life that fully expresses who I am and what I have to offer."
"Thank you for knowing me in a way that accepts me for who I really am, not who I think I am. You are a master listener to both the said and the unsaid: you pull from me the best that is in me. I have found new treasure in my relationship with my husband. We are more in love now than we were when we were married. With your coaching I have taken huge strides in my business to have it be a leader in the marketplace. I have an awesome life."
