Hi, I'm Ann.
I'm a happy wife and mom, avid reader, and seashore aficionado. Oh, and a coffee drinker, let's not forget coffee.
As a career Naval Officer, I spent decades in an organization that demanded my very best...and I loved it.
But I also had to learn how to adapt and thrive in such a highly structured and driven institution without losing site of the things that matter most to me - family, faith, health, integrity, and relationships.
Marrying up a career you love with a fulfilling life outside of it is a delicate balancing act, isn't it?
After retiring from the military, I began my work coaching high-achieving women in leadership, management, and entrepreneurship.
I've been speaking, training, coaching and consulting for 16 years now and I've developed a rock-solid formula for helping women define success on their own terms so they can love what they do and earn what they're worth.
I've helped thousands of high-performers including executives, doctors, lawyers, pilots, entrepreneurs, and military veterans reach their highest potential.
As a military daughter, wife, sister, and veteran, I'm especially passionate about helping organizations hire, train, retain, and promote talented women veterans.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me walking the beach with my Westie named Tess, plotting world domination with my superhero gal-pals, traveling with my test-pilot husband, working out at the crack of dawn, or reading “just one more” psychology book.

In a Nutshell
