Face the challenges of leadership
As a female executive in a male dominated sector, you know how lonely it can be at the top. Everything looks like the epitome of success, yet you feel drained of deep satisfaction. To keep up this façade requires enormous energy which could be invested elsewhere. Leadership is more than success, it is the fulfillment of a life well lived. Imagine improving your performance without sacrificing your health and mental wellbeing.
Caught in a cycle of vexing issues? Mental roadblocks stifling creativity? Procrastination magnifying formidable challenges? You’re not alone. Understanding your own mental habits and saboteurs brings clarity, propelling you towards your goals with renewed confidence and purpose.

Ready to evolve into an even stronger, more resilient leader?
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.

“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.”

Thanks to you I am more excited about my business than I have been in a long time. You have a way of working with people that never makes them feel like they failed or disappointed you. With your coaching and consulting I have achieved things that I had been putting off for a long time. Until I started working with you, I didn’t have the tools to make these changes. Initially this was like jumping off a cliff for me. Look what we have accomplished! Now I am able to dream of all sorts of possibilities. With gratitude and a new attitude…
