ABOUT ANNE TAYLOR

Business is in my blood. I was raised by a businessman and attained a business degree in Canada. I then spent over 20 years working across many countries in highly complex and pressurised environments, in corporations such as P&G and Nestlé.

Then while I was living and working in Switzerland, the unexpected deaths of both of my parents 22 weeks apart prompted me to reassess my life. I took a sabbatical from work. I retrained as a coach. I then left my corporate job and founded Directions Coaching to help people navigate the path to greater happiness and self-defined success.

Coaching took me from there to where I am today – striving to live my full potential.

Do you have problems influencing others? Been feeling self-doubt? Concerned about a lack of work life balance?

I understand what you’re going through. I’ve been there.

Since 2008 I’ve been drawing on my corporate background and significant coach and leadership training + experience to coach + inspire my clients to be authentic leaders who use people skills with their results-orientation to smooth their path to leadership success.

“Anne was one of my first leaders in my career, and easily one of the most impactful. She’s a strategic thinker and disciplined professional; a balanced and thoughtful leader.”
