Empowerment through
mental fitness
Dive into the transformative power of Positive Intelligence (PQ). These tools are straightforward yet impactful, steering you towards success. With just three core mental muscles, boost resilience, sharpen focus, and drive action.
We have subscribed to the notion that life happens to us and there is little we can do to transform everything into an opportunity. Another false belief is that by a certain age, your brain is developed, and you can do nothing to change it.
Those mental ruts created by familiar thinking patterns served us at one time. Now these saboteurs cause stress, anxiety, resentment, anger, and more. It is understandable that we have sleepless nights, health issues, and failed relationships. These saboteurs are running the show.
How do we take back control from these saboteurs? Start by taking the free saboteur assessment to discover your saboteurs and how they impact you and your success. Next, schedule a complimentary consultation with me to learn how to take these insights into action to see results.

I highly recommend Ann as a Mentor and Overall Professional and Personal Coach. I participated with Ann in the “Positive Intelligence” Program; and it was truly a transformative experience. She would be a trusted trainer for this program and overall Expert Mentor for anyone seeking exemplary coaching and support. Again, I highly recommend her.

I’ve worked with Ann for well over a year. In one of our most recent sessions, Ann was able to help me successfully work with three blocks that have been an issue on and off for years. First, was negative self talk, which tended to show itself at the worst times, as in trying to fall asleep. Second was making best use of my time. I was finding that many days, I would finish my work in a few hours, and not be terribly productive with the balance of the day. working with Ann, I made some changes that have juiced my ambition, and I find myself doing a better job of planning out more productive days, getting more done and getting more of the right things done. Finally working on isolation (I am an introvert) I have begun to reach out to several people each month for lunch or coffee dates. All in all, I would say some very successful and rewarding coaching sessions.

“Working with Ann Elliott has been one of the most transformative experiences of my professional life. I initially engaged Ann as my executive coach a decade ago and again when I stepped into a new leadership role in September 2024. While I had experience in management, the scope and visibility of this new position brought unexpected challenges—feelings of isolation, self-doubt, and pressure to perform perfectly.
Ann introduced me to the Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework, which focuses on building mental fitness and resilience. That was the turning point. Through her coaching, I learned how to identify and quiet the inner “saboteurs” that were fueling stress, anxiety, and reactive leadership habits. Instead of being hijacked by frustration or perfectionism, I now lead from a grounded, confident place.
The results have been remarkable. I’ve become a more effective, empathetic, and strategic leader. I communicate with greater clarity, remain composed during conflict, and navigate difficult conversations with more openness and perspective. I’ve learned to influence my team without force—by modeling presence, flexibility, and a clear sense of purpose.
Under Ann’s guidance, I led a complex cross-functional project through a series of unforeseen obstacles and still delivered results. I’m more connected with my team, more attuned to their needs, and more intentional about building trust and alignment. I’ve also reclaimed time for myself and am learning to enjoy the journey—not just the finish line.
Ann didn’t just help me adapt to a new role—she helped me evolve into the kind of leader I aspired to be. Her coaching was both deeply insightful and immediately applicable. I carry these tools with me every day, and they’ve made a lasting impact not just on me, but on my entire team and organization.
If you’re looking to grow as a leader, especially in times of transition or high stakes, Ann is the partner you want by your side.”
