Anne led a three-day workshop with 21 people from various functions and countries, fostering connections to drive sustainability across 20 global locations.

Anne is a facilitator who meets the moment. In a business world full of noise and surface-level creativity, she brings tools that are playful on the surface but powerful underneath. I’ve watched her guide a group of strangers to meaningful insight, deeper trust, and sharper thinking—all through a creative process that feels engaging, not forced. Her tools may appear simple—even delightfully unexpected, like banana mapping—but they unlock real results. | David Pearl, Innovator in business, the arts and social change | Keynote Speaker | | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-5.png

I’ve had the opportunity to experience Anne in action across very different settings—as a facilitator of her 3-month Mapping Your Path (online) program, as a creative collaborator in a custom-designed workshop in London, and leading a full-day session for aspiring business students preparing for their academic and professional journeys. Across all formats, Anne brings a rare ability to engage participants, spark meaningful reflection, and shift people out of their day-to-day mindset. Her sessions are refreshing, relevant, and designed to help people think differently—something every organization could benefit from. | Eric Boggs, Story Strategist & Experience Designer | | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-3.webp
