I am a Reinvention Artist. I started my journey as a first-generation high school graduate who went on to complete multiple college degrees, including a PhD, a CPA license, an MBTI administrator, an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, a Core Transitions Dynamics Specialist, and a Certified Professional Coach. I have mentored organizations and individuals in a range of ways from executive leadership, strategic planning, high potential team development, quality certifications for organizations, to doctoral level academic coaching. After spending 20 years in industry, I transitioned to the academic environment where I specialized in management, HR, and quality improvement. I served as both a state and national Baldrige examiner for more than a decade and have presented to audiences in multiple countries including Colombia, Argentina, Guadalajara, Mongolia, France, Ghana, and Canada. My message to those I coach, consult, or mentor is to always to pay it forward. We cannot grow if we do not stop conforming and begin doing more connecting.

President, Global Dynamic Consulting
As a result of Annette’s coaching, I now see a positive attitude when dealing with challenges as a management team. I believe that we now consider other perspectives much more than we did before. Instead of a knee-jerk reaction to a situation, we understand each other in a much deeper way then we did before our sessions with Annette. I highly recommend her as a coach.

From our very first session, I knew Annette was not only someone with whom I could explore personal issues and private goals, but also someone who was going to challenge me to reach for my dreams. She made me really think about what I wanted, as well as what I needed in my life. I came to understand that those two things are not always the same. When we started, I told Annette the three areas I wanted to work on: Getting organized, prioritizing, and spending time with my family. Within a month, the anxiety and guilt I had been feeling began to subside and my to-do list was steadily shrinking. By month three, I was looking back on my accomplishments with pride, and more importantly, looking back on the quality time I had been spending with my family
