As a registered coach, counsellor and trainer, specialising in business and executive development, Mary Anne’s focus is on supporting and enabling people to achieve their personal and business potential.
The foundation to this is building a trusting relationship to create a space where people can safely explore opportunities and challenges that may be impacting their effectiveness and fulfillment in their workplace or personal life. As every client is an individual, Mary Anne takes a flexible approach, based on their needs and personality; using a variety of coaching and other therapeutic models.
If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.
