Ann created a safe space for me to work through my challenges, build upon my strengths and develop as a confident, effective leader. She was always on my side and rooting for me, while pushing me out of my comfort zone. I have a tremendous amount of trust in her and her expertise.
– Dr. Tara Baillargeon, Dean of Libraries, Marquette University
I worked with Ann to develop our company’s first Frontline Leadership Program. After my initial discussion with Ann, I knew that she “gets it”. She is an expert in learning/development and can easily translate her client’s needs into a finished product. She was a great thought partner throughout the program. Ann is amazing to work with and I’m so happy we had an opportunity to work together.

She has deep experience and expertise in organizational design and function, which she put to great use in helping our early-career talent to grow and prosper. Ann has a unique ability to see the best in people and help them to be more productive within the enterprise.
– Jim Paetsch, Vice President, Milwaukee 7
We worked with Ann to develop a team development boot camp series to help us better understand each other and develop skills in communication, conflict resolution, identifying strengths and weaknesses. These team-building exercises were incredibly creative, allowed for practice, reflection and kept us all engaged throughout the series of five workshops. We all walked away with a new respect for one another and will continue to use Ann’s training when dealing with each other, as well as clients and vendors.
– Angela Turner, Principal, AMTC & Associates
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ann in individual and group settings. She has played a pivotal role in fostering the path to stronger team and one-on-one relationships – but in a way that is comfortable to various personalities and styles. I appreciated her diverse sense of people and backgrounds and adjusting quickly to help each individual further their capabilities for their own well being as well as in partnering with others. She has always been calm, fun and personable – and given her breadth of experience in other organizations can acclimate well to a variety of roles, levels and personalities. I would without a doubt recommend Ann to teams as well as individuals looking to further their relationships.
– Ami Patel, Total Rewards Leader, Global Consumer Goods Organization
Ann was a great facilitator for our annual Leadership Summit, “Using Coaching Skills to Engage Your team”. She is clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and has a great interest in the work she is doing. I thought her presentation style was very natural and welcoming of participation, and I thought there was a good balance between presentation and practical application time.
