“I thought I knew myself better than anyone – until I met Anne Marie!!! We worked on understanding what I enjoyed, disliked, feared and cherished and then looked at how to make my wish list a reality both in my professional and personal life. Anne Marie helped me to re-calibrate the important aspects of my value system and make the necessary changes in order to become the best version of me I can be right now. A skeptic of coaching for years, I am 100% converted and a massive advocate now thanks to the fantastic experience I had. Anne Marie – you are and always will be a legend – thanks for everything!”
Matthew Clark Global Director, Channel Sales Operations, SolarWinds

“Anne Marie supported me when I was at a cross roads following redundancy after 14 years of service to one company. She worked with me to identify my key strengths and rebuild some of the confidence I had lost in my own abilities. Anne Marie was careful that any considerations suggested in terms of developing my next career were taken into context with my life circumstances. Anne Marie was further instrumental in reviewing my résumé to ensure I presented my skills and interests in the best possible manner. Her method of coaching is personal and direct but thankfully devoid of any spin. She takes the time to understand her client’s requirements and life ambitions before responding with pertinent outcomes. I would highly recommend Anne Marie as a Coach and Trainer in these important areas for life and work. It was a pleasure to work with Anne Marie and I retain her contact details because life is full of change and is an on-going project.”
Johnerick Leach Senior Project Manager, Stryker

I am always happy to recommend her to friends when they need someone to do ‘heavy lifting’ involving people issues.”

“Anne Marie supported me at a critical time in my life when I was undecided as to which direction my life and career should take. She helped me identify the criteria for success that would support me in making my next career move to compliment my life circumstances. I have to say that Anne Marie’s coaching style, her experience in career and life coaching as well as her business understanding, supported me in making these critical decisions and I am very happy with the outcomes. Through the coaching process I came away with a life plan that will serve me well now and into the future; that, together with skill development and practice in CV review, LinkedIn profiling, interview techniques and USP practice, were invaluable to me. I would highly recommend Anne Marie as a Coach and Trainer in these important areas for life and work – she was a pleasure to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions together.”

“I worked with Anne Marie for a number of years at Sysgen/Northstar Computers (During that time I was very impressed by Anne Marie’s capabilities as a HR Leader, especially when it came to training and development. She was always adept at coping with change, at developing the most appropriate plans to support the business and had fantastic interpersonal skills. In the intervening years, I have engaged with Anne Marie as a consultant for a number of HR Training and Development/Coaching assignments. She is extremely capable, articulate and pragmatic.
