As a coach and facilitator in the Birmingham area, Ann is passionate about creating a challenging, inspiring and safe space for leaders to explore their impact and effectiveness.

She is able to quickly understand where an organisation is and what they want to change. She integrates her own background of senior leadership in the health sector with her extensive experience of coaching and facilitation in the commercial and public sector. Her depth of understanding of how the brain responds at work enables her to effectively support managers and leaders in increasing employee engagement with organisational strategy and change.

Ann’s experience and interpersonal skills enables her to rapidly engage teams and individuals from a range of organisational cultures.

She is one of a pioneering group of coaches personally certified by Judith Glaser in Conversational Intelligence ® and Stakeholder Centre Coaching by Marshall Goldsmith. She is also accredited by the Coaches Training Institute and the International Coaching Federation. She is an NLP practitioner and has a PhD in physiology and psychology thrown in for good measure.

Ann has been privileged to work with large groups of severely disaffected teenagers. Using a combination of energy, fun and neuroscience there was a resulting increase in their attainment levels and passion for learning. Ann has also worked successfully with multi agency partnerships within communities to develop strategic responses designed to reduce the impact of abuse in women and children.

She lives in Birmingham, one of the UK friendliest and diverse cities with her partner and three children, bounding into adulthood. Each one teaching her something new every day. She loves walking and running in the hills of Wales and Cumbria or swimming in the Irish Sea whenever she can. She has recently discovered the joy of singing and has been delighted to sing with her choir in Birmingham’s awe inspiring symphony hall with its world class acoustics and orchestra.
