In their words

What it sounds like when the work lands

I had a really difficult conversation with a colleague yesterday and I remembered our coaching lessons from 2 years ago and used the breath work you taught me and it worked so well. She was really aggressive but I didn't hyperventilate at all. I always tell everyone that working with you was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Coaching client
Taking up sessions with Annelise has been a valuable investment into not only my career, but all other areas of my life as well. Her interview and public speaking coaching helped me secure my dream role, and step into a new position with clarity and a game plan.

I have a huge client visit on Tuesday and I'm reviewing your content to prep. Instead of being stressed about delivering content to a scary customer, I've reframed it as visiting with my friends who have launched a fun partnership. Get out of here negative self talk! It's my first $1M contract.
Coaching client
I didn't realise I needed a mentor till I was introduced to Annelise. Our weekly sessions were the BOOST of courage I needed to get back on track. It is amazing to truly love the person I am becoming and this strength has really carried through as a leader in my business.
Hannah Pikkat
Events Specialist, Adorable Concepts
She helped me find a stronger, more grounded voice I did not even realise was sitting there waiting to come out. I walked out with a fresh sense of confidence, clarity and a whole new way of communicating.

Before you enquire

Questions leaders ask first

Who is executive coaching for?
This coaching is for women in leadership and professional roles whose employers want to invest in their communication development. Annelise works with emerging leaders, executives and professionals on the speaking situations their roles demand.
Can an employer arrange coaching for a team member?
Yes. Leaders, managers and HR teams can enquire on behalf of a woman in their organisation. Share her role, your development priorities and any important speaking situations coming up. Annelise’s team will discuss the next step.
How long does an engagement run?
Engagements run on a retainer basis that Annelise tailors to the individual. The discovery call sets the right timeframe.
How is it different from Corporate Workshops?
Workshops are for groups and teams. Executive coaching is entirely one-on-one.
How much does it cost?
Every engagement is tailored, so pricing is confirmed after the discovery call.
