I am an ICF-credentialed coach and an economic and business consultant. Anne Kelly has been my mentor coach since May 2018, and is a fabulous support and resource for me. So far we have met for about five hours by phone when the need arises, and Anne has always been available, even on a short notice. I instantly "connected" with her not only because of her experience with government, but also because of her easy-going yet direct and very supportive style. Before working with Anne, I felt alone and tended to complicate things too much, which led to confusion and anxiety about what to do about a particular situation or choice I had to make. As an example, Anne helped me prepare for a workshop with government executives that I felt would 'make or break' my future work with staff of this particular agency. She talked me through my objective and that of my client, my fears, and together we designed a 30-minute talk. She even graciously offered ideas and templates from past workshops of her own, and readily shared her experiences with me. By the end of our time together, I felt prepared and as though I could conquer the world (at least the world in that workshop)! She followed up with me the day after the event to check in, for which I was very grateful - I reported that I had received great feedback and was hired. I look forward to continue to work with Anne, whom I consider as an indispensable resource, partner, and support for my coaching business. read more
