Hi there, I’m Anna, a Speaker, Author, Trainer & Coach on Sustainable High-Performance

I believe work should be more than just meetings and metrics – it should be purposeful, energising and fulfilling.
I help ambitious leaders and teams achieve exceptional results – without the burnout, overwhelm and inconsistency – by building stronger foundations for long-term success.

How I Got Here

When I stepped into leadership, I quickly realised something: I wasn’t just responsible for my own performance anymore – I carried the weight of my entire team’s success. I wanted my team to do more than hit targets – I wanted my team to feel engaged, motivated, and driven.

The problem? I didn’t know how to make that happen.

Despite great mentors and leadership training, nothing gave me the practical tools and capabilities I needed to create a strong, high-performing culture.

Around me, I saw talented professionals struggling, burning out, and disengaging – and I refused to let that happen to me or my team.

So, I went searching for answers. And that’s when I discovered Positive Psychology – the science of what makes people, teams, and workplaces thrive. It wasn’t about quick fixes or pushing harder – it was about building the foundations for lasting success – both professionally and personally.

I applied what I learned – leveraging strengths, creating better ways of working, and fostering resilience. The results were transformational. We didn’t just hit our goals; we became more connected, engaged, and capable of handling challenges.

That experience shaped everything I do today.

What I Do Now

I help leaders and teams build thriving cultures where people excel – and exceptional results follow.

Unlike traditional training, that might focus on tactics, scripts, and short-term wins, I take a different approach. I equip leaders and teams with the mindset, toolset, and skillset to sustain high- performance, navigate challenges, and thrive long-term. This means they’re not only better but stronger too.

Through Keynotes, Workshops, and Coaching, I help organisations to:

Most training doesn’t last – mine does. Instead of lessons that fade, my programs embed sustainable habits, real-world strategies, and practical evidence-backed tools that leaders and teams can apply immediately for long-term success.

I’ve partnered with leading global organisations to equip leaders and teams with the foundations for long-term success. And by doing so, we have achieved:

Increased performance and reduced costs.
Enhanced productivity and engagement.
Improved resilience, energy, and wellbeing.
Increased confidence, capability, and motivation.
Reduced turnover - stronger cultures, better retention.

Beyond My Work

Sustaining success isn’t just about work – it’s about wellbeing, energy, and resilience in every part of life.

I’ve learned that perseverance and recovery are just as critical in leadership as they are in marathons. Years of travel has broadened my perspectives on adaptability and fulfillment. And being a parent has reinforced the importance of purpose, balance and leading with intention.

These lessons shape not just how I help leaders and teams thrive – but how we all can create purposeful, energising and fulfilling lives.
