Small Business Development
Anna’s coaching has been a positive addition to my life. I feel stronger and
more in control. I am kinder to myself and am focusing on my strengths to
achieve healthy, beneficial relationships and day to day interactions. Anna
assists me in refining my vision for the future, creating an action plan for
getting there, and working step-by-step toward fulfilling those goals. In
addition to the one-to-one coaching, she provides resources that offer
additional growth opportunities. My coach is also a cheerleader. She is
available to me to analyze immediate conditions or concerns, facilitate
revisions to plans as needed, and encourages me along the way. I am a work
in progress. With the help of my life coach, I am no longer that vehicle
careening out of control or wandering aimlessly out for a Sunday drive. Now,
I am in the driver’s seat with a road map that will get me where I want to
go. I am moving forward, full speed ahead!

Coaching brings to mind
the quote by Anais Nin, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a
bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.” I had talent, ideas and
dreams but no idea how to pull everything together to create a life. I
couldn’t even be clear about what I wanted because I didn’t know what
I wanted. Anna asked the right questions often enough that in a matter of
months my dreams were real. Imagine not doing a job but doing “that thing
you do” (really well), every day, making money and having a blast. That’s
what I do now because I was smart enough to hire a coach.

Career Development
When I was at a cross road in my life and I
needed help in making a decision on what it was that I really wanted to do, all
I needed to do was to talk to my coach, Anna Manning. She effortlessly guided me
through our sessions, by helping me discover what it was that I really
considered important in my life. Once I had that question answered, I knew
everything else would fall into place. With her help, I was able to overcome
these annoying mental notes I was making to myself about what I SHOULD do with
my life versus what I really wanted to do and why I wanted to go down that path.
I definitely grew as a person during our time together and I would highly
recommend her to anyone who asks. She has the innate ability to get to the root
of a problem, and then she makes you work through the problem by using problem
solving tools that you never knew you had!

Weight
I am working with Anna for weight issues. It's
slow going, but for the first time I feel that I am working on changing
behaviors, rather than focusing on just the symptom of the problem, which was
overeating. Her book Weight Loss: A Quick Reference Guide helped
me see what my core beliefs about my weight were and how they held me prisoner.
Changing long held beliefs is not easy, but I am committed to achieving my goal.
Anna helps keep me on track by coaching me to keep my focus on my vision.

Career
I didn't buy coaching sessions; I invested in a
strategy to attain my goals and to fulfill my dreams. With Anna's tough
questions, I was able to break free from the feedback loop that kept me stuck in
the past. She helped me see that it was my own ego that prevented me from
growing. That old quote: "You are thy own worst enemy," is very
true. I wanted to give up, take the easy road, but then she asked, "What do you
want your life to be like in one year?" and "Staying on this current course,
what do you think you're life will look like in one year?" I now know that to
change my thoughts and outdated beliefs is to change my world!

With your help I've been able to just stay more
focused. That is to say, without you, I would not have made this goal of mine as
fast as I had done with your help. If I need some other type of coaching to
guide me in the way of a goal for work, you would be a good choice for me, as
well as other people around. Thank you!
