“I am pretty much always overwhelmed with too many ideas, and I have so much trouble turning data into action steps. I was looking for someone to help provide insight + a sounding board as I worked through important decisions for my business, and since Anne’s career path is one I admire + feel kinship with, it made perfect sense to work with Anne.

It’s always nice to see things from another’s perspective when they don’t feel that spectacular in my own every day life. I do feel like I have a nice bit of momentum going right now and I also feel hopeful for the first time in a few months. Which I do not take for granted and am so, so grateful for.

Anne is super inspiring and kind - she has a way of seeing my own “magical powers” that I don’t always see or recognize in myself, and she’s really enthusiastic about even the small victories - which is contagious. She’s also great at connecting the dots between my crazy ideas and making things easy.

Having Anne in your corner is such a valuable gift! She makes complicated things feel simpler and has a way of helping you move the needle with a combination of encouragement and accountability.

I can’t wait to continue working with Anne again in the future!”

“I decided to work with Anne because I was a long time reader of her blog Prêt à Voyager. I was impressed by Anne’s own story—creating a path to live and work in Paris, France, without having any guidebook. Anne made her own way, and she has had fun doing it too! Her creative and expansive approach to career-building really helped me discover a new way to think about my own career.

Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all framework, Anne spends time listening. She helped me think more broadly than a job title about my work. More than a job, it’s a true livelihood that Anne helped me envision which allowed me to connect the dots between creative passion and career purpose. Most importantly, I learned from Anne not how to find answers—that’s the easy part. By working with Anne, I learned how to ask the right questions about my life purpose and career.”

“I discovered Anne through her Skillshare map making and travel poster courses. I’d been looking for a creative consultant for my two new brands that involve travel and design. Anne was the perfect person for feedback and recommendations. It was so valuable to have her fresh and objective viewpoint of my plans. Anne was a delight to work with and had current practical resources to recommend at our creative brainstorming meeting. I’m still working on her list of wonderful ideas and inspirational sites.”

“I first booked Anne for a 1:1 meeting over coffee in Paris. After just an hour she helped me figure out the career path I wanted to take in my life, dig out my passion, and how I could bring my skills and passion together. She had great insight and loads of resources to share. Her always positive thoughts and actionable steps meant I could take steps to make change after that first meeting. From there I booked 3-months of calls.

Anne has great enthusiasm and energy, which helps a lot for getting motivated! The coaching was based on goals I wanted to set for myself, mixed with goals she suggested for me, combined with learnings from her experience, and my experience. We had a very open and casual way of working, quite spontaneous even over email between calls. We were constantly exchanging thoughts and I love that way of working. Anne helps you see the obvious when your mind is cluttered.

For me, working with a coach was a way to bring things back to reality, learning from someone who has been there before and can explain the steps, de-dramatize the process, share experiences, and set goals together.

I also gained an incredible amount of resources I keep going back to: podcasts, reads, inspiration as I continue to build and evolve in my own path. I learned that nothing is set in stone but in constant change, and that progress is what matters the most. I also picked up great tips on writing, dealing with clients, and managing expectations.”

“Anne’s coaching style in two words...Attentive Listener... Anne listened to my every detail and asked complimenting questions to understand my real needs.

Anne surpassed any expectation I had. I did not expect to leave with so much after our call. The best part (spoiler alert!) is the email you get from Anne after the session. The email summarized all our conversation with tons of relevant links to what I really needed.

You have to try working with Anne. She is the best I came across online for consultation, advice and next steps. I was lost with many ideas before my call with Anne, however after the call I had a clear guidance and plan on what needs to be done next.”

“Anne helped me pull out some answers that were already within me that I did not realise were there. She encouraged me to reach out to others I admired within my field, even if it meant taking a leap of faith. She encouraged me to take those passions I did not think I could do something with and run with it. Anne has been that person that gave me the confidence to start the ball rolling on things I did not think I could do in a foreign country.

It is like having a conversation with a wise old friend. She asks thoughtful questions and tries to apply the information she learns back to you and your situation. I was honestly nervous at first because I had never met with someone like Anne before, but she made me feel at home and at ease right off the bat. She seeks out to know more about you and tries to connect you with more people, events, books, seminars. I could have spent all day talking to her, not only about me, but about her story as well.

Working with Anne is well worth the investment. She is real and honest and a great sounding board whose experiences in life and work allow her to advise on so many levels. If she does not have any information, she certainly knows someone who does. Anne’s global experience is a huge added bonus to her work and advice.

If you are ever on the fence about a meeting with her, just do it. You will not regret it, trust me!”

“Anne’s curiosity and openness to learning new things has definitely rubbed off on me, and are valuable qualities that have helped shape how I approach my work to this day. She made my Creative Residency experience so much more meaningful, and I know I can count on her to bring a unique perspective to everything.

She’s extra great at finding hidden gems and creatively connecting different ideas and concepts”

“Anne advocates for you doing your best work, listening and reflecting with compassion and commitment. She’ll help you see the bigger picture while working out the details or handling things that arise from day to day. She’s fun, open, and down to earth!

During our time together, I figured out work habits that serve my brain and body better, like blocking out time for my art practice in the morning so it stays a priority. Anne was very helpful in keeping my focus on goals when it’s easy to get distracted by great ideas better explored at another time. She had so many good tips for getting the word out about my business and incorporating creative work into business and personal life. Being able to talk with her about what I was learning as I was settling into a new culture really helped me clarify what I was experiencing and apply new perspectives to my outlook on life. ”

“For anyone who wants to clarify and refine different ideas and interests, Anne is an invaluable resource. In one hour, she helped me formulate an exciting theme for my blog. She provided sources for printing and publishing one of my quirky projects. She recommended a few short courses to spark creativity and career choices. Anne was the kick-starter I needed to take me to the next level in my writing and creative endeavors. ”

“Thanks so much for your support over the past two months! I couldn’t imagine I would really make it through this when I first reached out. There were lots of amazing moments, as well as frustrations, and you certainly helped me figure out a direction in my work.

At the time I was stuck in developing a concrete structure of my project, and I realized time was too tight to consider all possibilities. I needed someone to help me plan it out.

Anne is very organized as a creative person, and she knows how to work through ideas. Every time we spoke, I shared lots of my thoughts and where I felt stuck in some issues. She always suggested how I could prioritize tasks and figure out an MVP. She pushed me to try things out and gave me lots of great resources.

I learned that doing any creative work requires me to communicate my ideas to others, which in turn helps me figure out solutions and boosts efficiency.”

“With everything going on in the world and changes in my life I was looking for inspiration. After working 8+ years creating for clients and running a business, I need to reconnect with myself and my creative style.

I learned that I was resisting sharing creative work as I felt it needed to be super polished and which led to me not sharing and not spending the time to create. It was a reminder to make it fun, not worry about the end result and enjoy the process. I started a few projects away from the computer which I really enjoyed. I discovered areas that I need to work on for my business and set clear goals to accomplish the tasks. A lot of it was getting outside my own head and not anticipating how others would view it. Embrace my unconventional lifestyle as a local outsider :)

Anne has great resources and is the perfect person to help motivate and inspire you. She provided insight in a manner that was helpful. I was inspired by her energy and personal projects she has completed. I loved the ability to chat one-on-one and brainstorm together. I felt I had her full attention.

Anne is the perfect person to contact if you have an idea in the back of your mind you have been procrastinating on and need someone to help sort the details and take action. She provides support and honest feedback. She helps review roadblocks you have created and goals to break them down. ”

“I’m currently launching my own business and, at some point, COVID not helping, I felt stuck. I needed someone to challenge me into other ways of thinking.

Anne helped me to focus. Always afraid that I’m not bringing enough value to my clients, I have this tendency to scatter around and to lose sight of what is essential. Going into the new year, I found my one-word objective that suits me perfectly (although not always easy to perform on a daily basis) : SIMPLIFY!!

One session is not enough: creativity needs time to process. You have to accept that some sessions are going to be magical, Eureka-like, whilst others are going to seem more ‘quiet.’ But in the end, it’s definitely worth it!”
