Annie is amazing! She has provided training services and speaking engagements for the Great Falls Small Business Community on numerous occasions. Annie was able to bring the full spectrum of knowledge to development, growth and achievement in a professional, informative and inspirational manner. You can't go wrong using Annie's services as a presenter, training, coach or key note speaker.    

R. Engum, Small Business Development Center Director

I very much enjoyed the discussion about our immediate reactions and judgments “keeping us safe.”  I liked thinking about the ways our reactions can be helpful or harmful, depending on how we handle them.

Workshop Participant

Thank you so much for the presentation today.  You got rave reviews! The evaluations were some of our highest ever. I agree with the person who wrote that you can never focus enough on the opportunities to improve communication.  Thank you!    

Society for Human Resource Management, Chapter Leader

My staff LOVED IT!   Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us about healthy communication.  I really appreciate it.    

L. Corts, Regional Director

The attendees truly enjoyed your presentation and appreciated the value of the topic and your insightful, thought-provoking style.  Thank you for your time and expertise.  We look forward to working with you again.

Annie, when you gave a communication workshop for my staff, one thing that helped me was the idea of  "needing a pause". In fact, I have used that phrase to help me stop and think before making a comment or decision in the hectic day-to-day operations of the unit.  I have been able to consider whether I really need to comment on something or not, before jumping in with a statement I may not be able to back up.     

S. Honsky, Manager

I want to thank you again for doing the transition management classes for our staff. I have received all positive responses. Some are, "Why haven’t we done this before?" and "Best class I've ever taken."  Again thank you for your assistance in our transition.     

K. Lund, Vice President

In the summer of 2008 I was looking for someone to provide a customer service workshop for our organization, and a colleague recommended Annie. After a brief introductory meeting, I made arrangements to hire Annie immediately. She provided our staff with an excellent two hour presentation.  We sought Annie's services again this fall (2010) as we planned a senior management retreat. Her facilitation, warmth, diplomacy, and empathic nature were perfect for our needs. Our organization has learned a great deal from Annie, and we know that we will continue to glean value from her leadership.
R. Townsend, Human Resources Director

Annie is an advocate for positive attitude and openness, with a drive to get to the heart of the solution as quickly as possible. Having her in the room, leading by encouraging example, creates an environment for success.    

Workshop participant

I have had all positive feedback today.  One person commented that after the two classes on transition management and self-care, she felt comfortable and able to 'deal' with the uncertainly of waiting for decisions to be made about our unit.  I'm glad we made the meetings voluntary; everyone who came really wanted to be there and share as we learned new tips.    

B. Sherman, Manager

Annie seamlessly inspires people to remember and accept the highest value within themselves. After being strongly affected by her work at a forum where we were each presenters, my own work has been intensified. Don't miss an opportunity to collaborate with this heartful and truly gifted mentor/teacher.    

S. Lennox, Owner, l e n n o x, e t c.

It was so edifying to receive new insight and actual tools we can implement to improve our work environment.  We are looking at our interpersonal communication with new perspective.  Our team's morale has already improved, which directly affects productivity and customer service.  We are asking questions of ourselves, before reacting, then pursuing issues and needs.  I look forward to working with you in the future to reinforce our new behaviors and learn even more.  We've just touched the tip of the iceberg - so to speak.  What a "shot in the arm", Annie.  It's amazing what a difference an individual with expertise can make when they share their gifts.  With gratitude,    

L. Wall, Team Leader

Thank you so much for your amazing leadership of our senior management retreat.  It exceeded my expectations on every level!

L. Brehm, President and CEO

When you facilitated conflict resolution between two of my employees, you provided wonderful support and guidance through a difficult situation.  As you led the meeting, you stayed engaged, calm, deliberate and supportive of each employee.  The employees were able to calmly resolve their differences and heal the resentments that had been brewing for six years!  They walked away with new insight and ideas for personal growth.  As their leader, the meeting helped me tremendously by providing examples of how to support my staff.

Annie will speak her truth in a gentle yet firm way that moves management to reconsider the perspective they are taking.   I would go out of my way to have Annie back.       

E. Ferrigan, Leadership Development Director

Annie, It was so great to have you at two of my leadership meetings last week - very refreshing. The meetings were so productive, I couldn't help but think that you should be at all of our meetings!  When you told my colleague that you could feel her tightening up and asked her if something was bothering her, it helped her talk about what was bothering her. Instead of her sitting there all clammed up, (that's how it usually goes), you made her feel like she could speak her mind and in turn let the rest of us know what was bothering her. I've never seen anyone talk to her the way you did and I'm actually surprised that instead of saying, 'Oh, nothing's wrong.', she told us what was bothering her.  That made the meeting so much more productive!

Annie, just wanted to take the time to thank you for your continued support/guidance/education for our surgery leadership team.  I think the monthly meetings with the team are beginning to pay off with 1) the improvement in our employee opinion scores and 2) during a recent meeting I had with an employee regarding a conflict with their manager, they thanked me afterwards for how well the meeting went.  I utilized some of the tools you have provided us and from my perspective, they were extremely helpful to me that day.    

K. Myers, Department Director

It is my honor to support each of my clients.  Below are  what some clients have said about our work together.  As you read, I hope you will see that

I care deeply about my clients.

Effective communication is nothing if it isn’t personal; that’s why I customize workshops, presentations and coaching sessions to meet each client’s specific goals.

In talking with you, I received a gift I did not know that I needed...thank you.

Barb, Westport, CT

No matter what issues bubble up, Annie will hold the space for anything to shift. She is a great listener and gently guides me into a space of more choice.  Annie naturally sees what is underneath the anxiety and concern and brings out new perspectives that invite personal power. I feel deeply cared for and respected when I work with her. You won't find better.    

Ed, Seattle, WA

I want to express my most sincere thanks for your work with me. You have truly been so helpful. I am gaining a new foundation for building a bridge of healing in my life.     

Tina, Austin, TX

Thank you Annie. That was such a wonderful, warm, and comforting session for me. Thank you for believing in me.     

Jodi, Missoula, MT

Thank you again for letting me come talk to you.  My heart feels so much more light and I have used the tool you taught me twice today. Thanks Again.   

Lorrie, Bozeman, MT

After our session, I felt so much better!  I felt as if a weight had been lifted, and that night I slept well for the first time in months. 

John, Seattle, WA

Thank you for helping me reconnect with my heart and trust the wisdom that it holds.  Your gentle guidance has helped me to experience more abundance in my life – both personally and professionally – than I ever could have imagined.  Thank you for sharing your gift!
