Hi, I'm Anne O'Connor,
If you're looking for a group coach that helps you take a strategic look at your life, who asks you relevant and evocative questions, who sees your vision for your life and team and supports you in creating it, we should talk.
What I offer is a deep and long-term relationship that gives you a space, the tools, and the support to create an effective, brave, and powerful approach to your team's work and life.
I've been coaching people for more than a decade. I create and facilitate engaging, life-changing courses to help you keep becoming who you want to be. And I host retreats to kick the work off.
I recognize what research shows us--true change and growth happens over time. My approach is both insistent and supportive of your timeline--your speed. I am great at helping you stay accountable to yourself so that when we're done with our work together, you have a great practice of creating change for yourself.
I like to build on what teams already do well--both individually and in the collective. And we'll dig into what could be better. Together, we will question habits and thinking and systems. We'll consider new ways to approach situations. When you're making a change, I'll be your steadiest, clearest, and most loving champion. I'll support your new ways with practical reinforcements.
I've had a 20+ year career in communications leadership positions, leading and building teams in everything from non-profits to Organic Valley, the billion-dollar organic cooperative. For the past decade, I've been coaching through group and one-on-one work with hundreds of people from all kinds of backgrounds. These are the foundations of my approach.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree--I am a licensed therapist in the State of Minnesota. I've got lots of relevant experiences; if you want to hear more, let's talk. Book a call.
Do the work and life will never be the same. I literally guarantee it.
