Since launching her own consulting company in 2005, Ann has coached people from all walks of life from CEOs of start- up companies, senior leaders looking to gain a competitive edge, and others seeking to reinvent their careers. She is also a TEDx talk speaker and author of Painting with Scissors. Learn more about Ann and her journey on the Second Act Success Podcast.
