How coaching works

We start with discovering your values (the essence of you), getting clear on what you want to accomplish, setting a path to get you there and establishing how we will work together. Once that is done, we begin our calls by phone, Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet or other medium where we hold your intentions and you move forward to the life you want to live!

Choose your duration

Coaching can have a targeted focus or can be an ongoing relationship. Choose which term is best for you. If you are unsure, let’s talk, and we can find the structure that is right for you.

Clients who have embraced change and found new directions

“Ann Vanino has helped me get places I needed to go that I couldn’t do for myself.  She is very patient, knowledgeable and kind. The next time I have an important project I need assistance with, I will call Ann immediately.  I would not be in my advanced stage of my profession without Ann.”

“Coaching deepened my understanding of the importance of staying in the moment and helped me find clarity. Ann Vanino is a master of asking powerful questions and in that process, I learned to listen to myself and honor my feelings.”

“Ann is talented at getting to the heart of issues, consistently coming up with creative and excellent suggestions. There is no one else who comes close to Ann in having the talent necessary for personal and professional life coaching. I highly recommend Ann Vanino as a life coach for any situation.”

“Focus, caring, support and action. These important concepts come to mind after working with Ann. When I came to her, I tended to be ‘all over the map’ and was greatly in need of coaching. Ann gently, yet firmly, helped bring the focus back into my journey. She supported my choices with a depth of caring, yet maintained an objectivity, that allowed me to experience the results of those choices in a non-judgmental atmosphere.”

“Ann has helped me with her advice on management, leadership, organizational skills and organizational development. As a coach, she models concepts and ideas for the person she is coaching – she is on task, creates structure and honors our schedule. As CEO, I highly value Ann’s ability to bring me “out of the box” in my thinking and in approaching challenges and opportunities.”

“Working with Ann has helped me define my management style and tools. By working through what has or hasn’t worked I am now more capable to react to situations with the right management tools.”
