“I recently engaged Anna to come out to our leadership off-site and give a half-day workshop on CliftonStrengths. I had previously come to understand the depth and passion Anna has for all things leadership and organization development and her excitement around CliftonStrengths in particular was a key driver to bringing her out; I knew the energy would be infectious for the team. Her timing, execution, collateral and engagement with the team was top notch. She took care to ensure that what we learned in the room would be woven into the operations of our company post-training and gave us strategies to do so. I couldn't recommend working with Anna enough!"

Junior Achievement of Georgia
"Anna led CliftonStrengths workshops for our Junior Achievement of Georgia associates. She created a highly engaging learning environment that allowed each leader to gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and how to leverage them for greater impact. The sessions provided valuable insights into how we can collaborate more effectively, lead with confidence, and maximize our collective potential. The interactive discussions sparked meaningful conversations, and the only feedback we kept hearing was that we wanted more time. If you’re looking to elevate your leadership team with a strengths-based approach, Anna is the expert to guide you."

Kogod School of Business
“Anna was a relatable and knowledgeable guest speaker when she came back to her alma mater, American University, to deliver a dynamic session for our 175+ Kogod School of Business students. She shared the importance of understanding, appreciating, and applying their CliftonStrengths to their professional and academic pursuits, as well as to their personal wellbeing. The students loved the session and gained so many insights from it! I first met Anna when she was one of my facilitators for the Gallup Coaches Certification Course! I knew then that I wanted to stay in touch with this bright, energetic, and strategic communicator.”
