Testimonials

  • “Anna was such a great partner and coach from beginning to end. Even during our pre-coaching sessions, she was patient, answering all questions and generous with her time. Having Anna as a coach proved to be very timely through the season I was going through at the time; I was struggling with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. She has the ability to listen and synthesize my emotions and words in ways that help me understand what's really going on in my head. Her empathy and kindness coupled with her ability to see things in you that you can't see for yourself helped me move beyond self-sabotage and self-doubt to changing the way my mind processes different experiences. I would love to work with Anna again in the future, and I highly recommend her as your next mindset coach!”

    Shelly Oh Product Designer

  • “Anna has helped me discover things about myself that I haven't thought about in a long time or even ever. I feel like I know myself better after the few coaching sessions. I can tell that she genuinely cares about helping me help myself in a way that will last long-term. I feel very comfortable and I don't feel judged during the coaching calls, which has been a concern of mine in the past. Working with Anna has changed how I tend to look at myself and I am very grateful for that!”

    Jackie M. Software Engineer

  • “Anna is awesome! I always have such a great time talking to her and she makes it very easy to share the things that are bothering me and hindering my own personal and professional growth. I especially like the insights into my own self that Anna brings that I completely agree with but have never realized. Anna gives off such a welcoming aura and demeanor and I could tell that she truly was listening to everything I was saying. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her.”

    Anon Harvard Researcher

  • “Anna was just wonderful! She empowered me in ways I had not imagined. Despite being a stellar candidate, without having many many offers in hand, Anna made sure my profile and support from managers was reflected in not only in our asks but also in how confident and empowered I felt in this process! I totally loved working with Anna. Highly recommend her!”

    Anon Research Scientist at DeepMind

  • "Anna was a godsend. She was also really insightful and helpful in framing my goals and priorities while both looking for a position and negotiating. Her encouragement was also instrumental in the confidence I had in conversations with my hiring manager.”

    Anon ME Masters Student at Stanford

  • “Anna was amazing! I loved how she helped me prioritize my goals and kept those in mind throughout the process. We thought through each scenario thoroughly, and she helped me prepare and practice for all possible outcomes. Anna helped me strike the right balance between being friendly and confident in all communications, which felt important to me for maintaining the relationships I had worked hard to develop. She was also very prepared and efficient with our meetings. I am very happy with my experience and will work with Anna when I need negotiation help again.”

    Anon Assistant Professor at USF

  • “Our time together has made such a difference! Anna has helped me find the perfect balance in life and our time together has been invaluable to me. I feel comfortable at my current job because of the boundaries Anna helped me set. Anna has been a tremendous help to my life.”

    Anon Real Estate Agent

  • “I worked with Anna to schedule and tailor her workshop called "Mitigate Burnout + Fill Your Cup" I really appreciated how responsive Anna was in tailoring her content to fit our needs. Her training was well thought out, well received by employees, and covered many helpful topics for employees. I loved having Anna come and talk about strategies each of us can easily take steps in our everyday life to make improvements. We offered Anna's training to the whole company during 2020 and it was timely and expertly delivered by Anna. Anna was very easy to work with and I am so glad that we were able to have her come and offer this workshop here at Redfin!”

    Michelle Yeager Sr. HR Business Partner Redfin

    Alys Robinson, Founder of Life Project Education

  • [Design Your Life Class] "Anna was a really good facilitator and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included in the class. It was clear she was very enthusiastic about her work and that was inspiring. She was always willing to offer help and support if any of us got stuck on anything."

    Anon Caltech Student

  • [Design Your Life Class] "Anna's passion about the class and how she showed how much she cared about us really made me feel like I was in a safe space and I could trust her to guide us. In turn, I took the class very seriously and ended up gaining a lot from it."

    Anon Caltech Student

  • "I no longer believe that I am limited to one career for the rest of my life or that I need to be optimizing for a single thing (money, career advancement, leisure, etc.). There is probably a way to incorporate everything I enjoy into my life in the future. Relatedly, I no longer believe it is useful to try and meticulously plan out every step of a career, because designing a career is more of a trial and error process."
