Hey there, I’m Ann

I’ve repelled out of a helicopter, been handcuffed to a barstool by the secret service (oh, the stories I could tell) and conducted international military protocol missions in almost every country in the pacific rim.

I love America and am proud, honored, and humbled to have served this great nation as a Naval Officer for 20 years.

After retiring, I built a successful business working with women who want to embrace the power of personal leadership so they can love what they do and earn what they’re worth.

I get to connect with, support, encourage and share everything I’ve learned with high-caliber women who believe in the American dream and feel like family.

I believe in building a business and life that includes a culture of encouragement steeped in integrity, character, merit, and values-based leadership.

For me, the key to success is to “take charge” – to take full responsibility for everything you think, say, and do so you can show up, step up, and live up to this one-and-only life you’ve been given.

Now, of course, it’s not all work around here 🙂

When I’m not working, you’ll find me walking the nearest beach with a hot cup of Hazelnut coffee (or an ice-cold beer), plotting world domination with my superhero gal-pals, traveling the country with my test-pilot husband, or reading “just one more” psychology book.

The “Official Stuff”

Education

My advanced degrees are in Human Behavior (Masters) and Psychology (Ph.D.)

I wrote my master’s thesis on personal vision and how it affects our intrinsic motivation.

This gave me a strong grasp of what motivates us to move forward, where we get stuck, and how to achieve extraordinary breakthroughs and results.

My doctoral research and dissertation established new ground in the development of key success factors, self-efficacy, and mindset in high-achieving women entrepreneurs.

In a Nutshell

I understand what makes talented women tick and can quickly help them live up to their highest potential in life, love, and work.
