Life, leadership, and everything in between.
Practical, straight-talking support to help you find clarity, move forward and have the conversations that matter.
Let’s chat
Whether you know exactly what you need or you’re still figuring that out, get in touch for an honest conversation about where you are at, where you want to get to, and whether working together makes sense.
Or, explore what I offer and let’s take it from there.
Meet Annie
From coaching individuals to sitting with hundreds of families in their hardest moments, from building learning and development programmes to leading communications and digital transformation – my career might look squiggly on paper. What connects it all is a belief that honest conversation changes things.
I’m interested in what’s actually going on. I listen properly, ask the questions people have been avoiding, and then we figure out what to do about it.
Here’s where I might be able to help
I work with individuals, teams, and organisations across the charity, education, faith, and public sectors. That can look like:
Interim and fractional leadership — senior strategic capacity when you need it, without a full-time hire.
Leadership coaching and development — one-to-one coaching, L&D strategy, and building leadership capability in teams.
Strategic communications and digital — helping organisations get clear on what they’re saying, who they’re saying it to, and how.
Facilitation and organisational development — strategy days, away days, workshops, and the sessions where you need to have impact.
Funeral celebrancy and ceremonies — planning and delivering services with warmth, care, and the right words.
Speaking — on leadership, honest communication, organisational change, parenthood and faith.
Don’t take my word for it
Here’s what leaders and organisations I’ve worked with have to say.

I’ve only ever had lovely feedback about Annie. She is very well liked by all the families and I definitely recommend her first and hope she is available.
