About Ann
I coach leaders and organizations to elevate their executive presence, refine their messaging, and make a lasting impact on stage, on camera, and in the boardroom. My career has spanned Emmy-winning journalism, corporate communications, brand strategy, and executive coaching, giving me a unique perspective on high-stakes communication. I’ve worked across corporate, nonprofit, and agency spaces, coaching C-suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and rising executives to navigate career transitions, build influence, and communicate with clarity and confidence. I started in investigative journalism, where I mastered the art of storytelling under pressure, commanding a room, and delivering messages that stick. Today, I apply those same skills to help leaders own the room, deliver compelling narratives, and show up with authority, whether in media interviews, investor pitches, keynote speeches, or high-stakes meetings. As a small business owner, I also know firsthand the challenges of positioning yourself and standing out in competitive industries. My coaching is designed to deliver both soft skills and real-world results, helping professionals not just communicate better... but lead with impact. Ready to refine your presence and command the room? Let’s work together.
Why do I coach?
I understand high-stakes communication because I’ve lived it... going live on television for years in breaking news, working alongside top professionals, and delivering under immense pressure in front of thousands. That’s where I started. I’m a storyteller and expert communicator who thrives on helping smart, driven professionals refine their voice, share their craft, and expand their influence. With a career spanning Emmy-winning journalism, corporate communications, brand strategy, and executive coaching, I partner with high-performing professionals to elevate their leadership presence, refine their messaging, and position themselves for career-defining opportunities. I’ve worked across corporate, nonprofit, and agency spaces, coaching C-suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and rising executives to navigate career transitions, build influence, and communicate with impact. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone step into their power, own the room, and make a lasting impact. Whether it's a boardroom, a keynote stage, an investor pitch, or a media interview, I provide the coaching and strategies to ensure leaders show up with confidence and authority when it matters most.
