“Annabelle truly understands leadership development and is a great coach. In just a matter of an hour she helped me solve something I’ve been working on for two months.
If you’re looking for someone who understands what it takes to grow a team in both large and small organizations, I highly recommend you work with her: she has made an incredible impact on my team and I”
Gabe Arnold
Founder of Business Marketing Engine
“Poised to expand, my team was nervous of change. Our time working with Annabelle enabled each team member to communicate their fears and address their concerns without the discussion ever feeling ‘personal’. Our aim was to focus on the path ahead. Working with Annabelle actually gave us much more than that – it helped us realise how far we had come as a team. It was unexpectedly uniting; we spent time discussing where we were and how we had got there, and this gave us the springboard to plan our year ahead. Every member of the team contributed and every member gained valuable insights into others’ thinking. I cannot recommend Annabelle’s approach highly enough”

“Entrepreneurship isn’t just about building a great team around you. It is also about getting the right guidance and mentoring along the way from people who know what it is like to tread in your shoes, people who can help you recognise your limitations and fill those gaps – people who can help you actualise the potential of the business through developing your capability as the leader. Annabelle is one of those people. I would thoroughly recommend her.”

“Annabelle looks beyond the obvious, sees what’s really going on in a business and understands what it’s like to grow from an entrepreneur into a business leader. Her advice and support have been incredibly valuable to my team and I as we’ve scaled up”
Scott Weir
Founder of Pillow Partners Property Management
“Annabelle has an ability to see the bigger picture and she draws on a depth of experience of working with large organisations and individual entrepreneurs over 20 years. She is not afraid to challenge and cut through to the key issues but does this in a kind and empowering way. The humour and energy she brings to the process is her trademark and makes working with her deeply enjoyable. I vividly remember coming off my first call with Annabelle full of enthusiasm and energy feeling more confident that I could overcome my challenges and I had someone in my corner who was right behind me. Annabelle is the real deal!”

“Annabelle has been part of a great number of our business support interventions – whether as part of one of our business accelerator programmes, or delivering bespoke entrepreneurial and business growth workshops. She is highly responsive to the needs of her audience, and many businesses have benefited from her experience and support. We look forward to working with her again.”

“I contacted Annabelle to ask for help in pinning down the ethics and values of the company. I was starting to grow my team and wanted to be clear on how we communicated the values of the business to our clients. I also wanted to clarify how we could be expected to support each other as a team. Annabelle was invaluable using her knowledge and experience to pin our values right down to one word and then expanding on that to build a concise, clear framework for the team and our clients and tenants. I can’t thank Annabelle enough for her work in assisting us. Her patience, knowledge and understanding of what we wanted to accomplish, whilst making it enormously enjoyable for the team was top notch! Seriously, if you are looking to pinpoint and understand exactly what your values are as a business, you really need to speak to this wonderful lady!”
