TESTIMONY
"I’ve been really impressed with Anitra as my Executive/Professional Coach. She is talented and has incredible expertise in areas that have been extremely beneficial to my leadership and our organization. She is a great listener, has a keen intuition and wisdom, and her knowledge and experience is rich and vast. I can’t say enough how much I continue to learn and grow from the guidance and wisdom she offered. She offers guidance that leads to clear, actionable steps.
She provides resources that I’ve enjoyed, applied with success, and continue to learn from. She builds skills that are effective for a particular situation and that can be applied for future circumstances. Anitra is brilliant and I plan to work with her more through my leadership journey."

1:1 COACHING
GROUP FACILITATION
I offer three different highly customized and individualized pathways for receiving my Executive Coaching Services. Whether we work together one-on-one, or in an interactive group facilitation setting, or for support in a mediation and conflict resolution engagement, you will experience a highly collaborative process and receive effective strategies to create DESIRED CHANGES and RESULTS. I am an experienced, driven, and innovative practitioner committed to our work together, enthusiastic about your goal achievement, and will skillfully meet you and teams where you are. My clients are equally committed, open and curious, lean into building a growth vs. fixed mindset, and come to session ready to apply the new skills, practices, and resources we work through in and in-between sessions.
Executive Coaching Programs (one-on-one or group) are offered either monthly or in packages. Mediation/Facilitation is typically conducted in 2 to 4 half-day sessions, with a 1.5 hour one-on-one consult with each participant individually prior to our first mediation session. All Executive Coaching sessions can be in person OR virtual.

What I expect from my CLIENTS
Client TESTIMONIALS and referrals:
"Anitra has been a truly pivotal guide and facilitator on my journey to develop greater self awareness as a leader. I believe that we often have the answers we need within ourselves, sometimes we just need help finding those answers. Anitra is a very attentive and open listener, which was helpful to process my thoughts and feedback. We were able to dig deep and develop actionable steps to improve my leadership and life skills. Anitra didn't give me the answers, she helped me find them, and that is a powerful tool. Thank you Anitra!"
