John Kennelly, Vice President, Tax, Customs & Administrative Services
Simply stated, Anne is a masterful listener and a highly skilled executive coach.
After completing an initial Myers Briggs assessment and related Work Styles and Communication reports, Anne and I worked closely together for six months. Anne listened for what was important to me in the office and at home and she quickly identified both what was working well in my life and areas where I was clearly struggling. In our bi-weekly coaching calls, and through my "homework assignments", Anne provided me with insights and tools that made an immediate and profound transformational impact on my effectiveness as a leader of a team of over 150 professionals at Toyota Motor Sales, USA. Thanks Anne!

I am currently working with Anne Collier in both an executive and team coaching capacity. She is WONDERFUL. Today she took our entire HR team out to a farm in VA for an all-day training session with horses, "The Equine Experience." The exercises were designed to reinforce what we recently learned about our MBTI types, as well as the overall team type. It was fascinating, engaging, and very educational. And fun.
Anne has also coached a couple of our associates. We received outstanding feedback about her and her methods and skill. One of our associates recently received an outstanding annual review. Her supervising attorney credits the work she did with Anne and says that she (the associate) is like a whole new lawyer.
I can't tell you enough about how much Anne has helped me and my relationship with my own team.
I highly recommend her and promise you will be very pleased.
Ann Davison, Senior Vice President and Senior Partner, Vox Global
I love my chosen profession and my job, but wanted to push toward the next level of success. Anne helped me identify and focus on my strengths, articulate what success would look like, and put the tactical plan into place to achieve success. She’s been particularly valuable in helping me hone business development skills that are within my comfort zone.
John H. Cox, Esquire, Managing Director, Verto Solutions (formerly The Roberts Group)
My interactions, at work and at home, are more successful and fulfilling every day because of my work with Anne Collier. Working with the right executive coach is human performance enhancement. Anne comes to every session prepared with insights and suggestions. Sometimes the suggestions are big and other times they are more subtle, but they always bring results. Working with the right coach should open your eyes to something new every session that’s what it’s like with Anne Collier.
Kelley Poole, Director of Government Relations, Verto Solutions
Anne Collier is by far one of the most effective executive coaches. She has an uncanny ability to assist her clients in identifying their goals and then developing step-by-step action plans that can be put in motion to accomplish the desired result. I highly recommend Anne to anyone who wants to learn more about their personal or professional strengths and how to overcome challenges with ease. If you want to explore and make personal or professional changes for the better, she is your organizational guru!
Alex Cuadra, Program Manager, Commonweal Foundation
Anne has a really amazing intuitive sense about human nature and in an empathetic and neutral way helped me gain a better understanding of workplace communication. In her work with me, Anne struck an amazing balance between making me feel heard and pushing me out of my comfort zone to try new ways of communicating with my colleagues. In my position it is also important to work collaboratively with external staff, give non-judgmental feedback and elicit positive participation. I was amazed by the much more positive reactions I received from both internal and external staff, using these communications techniques.
Jerry Michaels, President of JAM Communication Skills, Inc.
It would be too easy to just say I was stuck. As a trainer I found that when the economy turned, my highly successful business did as well. After a year of incredible frustration, lack of income trying anything and everything and getting no traction, I was literally at wits end. Then I was introduced to Anne Collier. Admitting desperation and with a considerable lack of faith, I entered into executive coaching. Today I can kick myself for having waited so long. Anne’s insight, intelligence, enthusiasm, originality of ideas and ability to get me to look at things in a different way, were nothing less than inspirational. So was the change in the direction of my business.
Cathy Cook, Director of Communications, Washington, D.C.
I never expected I would get much out of coaching. I was obviously wrong.
I’ve become a more engaged listener and the words I speak with my colleagues have become more carefully chosen. I was surprised how quickly most of my ‘new’ engagements with people generated better results.
Thanks Anne for coming into our organization and getting people to communicate more effectively with each other.
Ben Dupuy, Partner in Government Relations Firm, Washington, D.C.
Anne is excellent at helping her clients identify places where they would like to perform at a higher level and then working with them to achieve higher performance. I am confident in recommending her to anyone looking to elevate his performance.
MJ Marshall, Director of Government Relations, Washington, D.C.
Anne Collier is an amazingly astute counselor. Through Anne's help and guidance, I have become much more tactful about my style of communicating with individuals both inside and outside of the office. My presentations to audiences are more succinct and to a great extent more captivating than they were prior to working with Anne. For anyone who is interested in becoming a less controversial, "non-violent" professional, Anne Collier is the best there is at conveying the way to get there.
