Hi, I'm Ann

…a motivational psychologist, leadership consultant, corporate trainer, master facilitator, executive coach, 20-year naval officer, and a happy wife and mom.

I write, speak, coach, train, and consult on leadership, excellence, and success in life, work, and everything in between.

Ann has a tremendous ability to capture her audience using real-life examples that relate to leadership situations. She is a high-energy professional, and thought-provoking motivational speaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her talk to a group of my leaders again.

Dr. Ann Vertel is a powerhouse of a woman. If I could grow up to be anything like her when I’m older, I would be honored!

Leading with confidence and compassion. I would highly recommend her. Her talk changed the way I work in my company!
