Anne believes that to embrace the opportunities and challenges that emerge in a complex and uncertain world, leaders need to know and grow themselves – developing self-awareness, intention, flexibility and courage. With curiosity, vulnerability and self-compassion her clients become connected to purpose, open to broader perspectives and able to see and shape themselves and the system they are in, in new and responsive ways. Anne draws on Adult development theory, action learning, neuroscience, complexity theory and uses the Growth Edge coaching approach with her clients.

Anne’s 23 years’ experience as a senior physiotherapist in hospitals, general practice and work alongside families in the community and disability services sectors strongly influenced her coaching approach – grounded in her client’s current reality and working together to see the complexity, challenge assumptions and develop new possibilities for action. As co-owner of a specialist consultancy firm Anne was actively involved in the design and development of leadership, resilience and coaching programs. Anne has been working in executive coaching and leadership development for 10 years in Australia and internationally. She has worked across sectors and many of her clients are Executives and Senior Executives in the Australian Federal Government.

Anne holds a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of NSW and Graduate Diploma in Physiotherapy, Cumberland College of Health Sciences. She is a certified Growth Edge Coach from Cultivating Leadership and has a certificate and an advanced certificate in Executive Coaching from the Institute of Coaching and Consulting Psychology, Sydney. She is a Certified Action Learning Coach through the World Institute of Action Learning and is a certified facilitator of Kegan and Lahey’s Immunity to Change process and the Leadership Circle Profile.

Anne lives with her husband in Canberra and loves to spend time at her family home on the far south coast of NSW. She has four adult children and three small grandchildren who bring her delight and joy. She loves beach and bush walks, cooking and sharing meals with family and friends, all kinds of music, reading and travel.
