Empowering Leaders to Inspire Change and Achieve Lasting Impact.

I’m Ann Stevenson, Executive Coach. Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of organizations, including Telenor Norway and UK, Avnet, the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, Liontrust, Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, Aberdeen Asset Management, Royal London Asset Management, various FE colleges, and SMEs such as Wild Scotland and Shetland Arts. My work focuses on executive coaching and helping leaders and their teams navigate transitions with confidence—energising employees to embrace change and move forward with purpose.

I bring this experience together with over 15 years in Human Resources, where I supported business leaders, managers, and teams with the full range of people-focused needs, particularly during times of significant change.

If you’re curious about how I can support you and your team in leading through transitions and helping your employees thrive—or at least be more open to change - get in touch below. I’d love to hear from you!

Coaching & Leadership Development Solutions for Business

Change doesn’t happen by osmosis or through grand interventions—it requires intentional effort, self-awareness, and the right support. That’s where coaching and leadership development come in.

At its core, coaching is about creating a trusting and dynamic relationship. It’s about working with someone who understands where you are, champions your goals, and helps you unlock the potential to get there.

Why Coaching and Leadership Development Work
Coaching and leadership development provide the tools, insights, and strategies to inspire meaningful change. Whether you’re enhancing individual performance or driving organisational transformation, the impact is lasting.

This approach strengthens self-awareness, builds confidence, and fosters the behavioural shifts essential for effective leadership, team collaboration, and long-term business success.

 "Leading Through Change: From Theory to Everyday Practice – It Starts with You"

Executive Coaching

One-to-one coaching offers you the opportunity to pause, reflect, and focus on making sense of yourself and the world around you. It’s a space designed entirely for you, helping you navigate challenges, transitions, or simply reconnect with your sense of purpose.

You might be considering coaching for a variety of reasons:

  • Navigating Behavioral and Attitude Challenges: You may be facing difficulties with your own responses or those of others during times of business change or transition.

  • Life Situations: Perhaps you’ve started a new job, are adapting to a new boss, are experiencing the menopause, or are managing a health condition.

  • Emotional Turmoil: Your emotions may feel overwhelming—whether it’s heartache, grief, divorce, reliving past trauma, or simply feeling like life has drained your energy.

  • Low Energy Levels: You know your tank is running low, and it’s time to find ways to recharge and refuel.

  • A Combination of Challenges: Often, it’s a mix of these experiences that bring people to coaching.

Whatever your reason, the most important step is to take action. Let’s start with an initial conversation, and if you decide to move forward, we’ll co-design a coaching programme tailored to your needs and goals.

All programmes are available in person or virtually via Zoom, Skype, Teams, or FaceTime, making it easy to access support wherever you are.
