Clear. Confident. Connected.
Support for business owners who want to lead well in every part of their life.
You carry a lot — decisions, deadlines, people relying on you, and the pressure of wanting to get it right in your business and at home.
Most business owners I work with aren’t short on skill or experience.
They’re simply overloaded.
Pulled in too many directions.
Trying to lead, parent, and partner well… all at the same time.
And when things feel intense, it’s easy for conversations to go sideways, patterns to repeat, or pressure to spill between parts of your life that you wish you could keep separate.
I help business owners make sense of those moments.
What’s underneath them.
What they’re really about.
And how to move through them with more clarity, more connection, and a whole lot more ease.
This is relational advisory — warm, honest, and practical.
It’s the kind of support that helps you breathe again, see things more clearly, and show up in a way that feels like you.
Because the way you lead your business and the way you lead your life aren’t two different things — they come from the same person.
Hi, I’m Anne.
I advise business owners who feel overloaded, uncertain, or disconnected in the moments that matter most — in the business and at home.
My work is about helping you slow things down, understand what’s really happening underneath the patterns, and build the confidence and capacity to handle those moments with more clarity and less tension.
This isn’t abstract theory; it’s practical support you can use straight away — in conversations with your partner, your team, or your kids.
I bring 30 years of experience working with human behaviour at its roots, and I created the PEACE Method™ as a simple, reliable way to navigate pressure, communicate clearly, and make decisions you can stand behind.
No therapy. No judgment. No guesswork. Just grounded, useful guidance.
What you get is support that feels personal and steady, and a way of leading that actually holds up when things get hard.
Featured on.
What changes when you see the patterns clearly.
When you understand what’s really going on underneath the pressure, everything starts to shift:
Conversations become easier and more honest.
Decisions stop circling and start moving.
Your team knows where they stand.
Home feels less tense because you’re not carrying yesterday into tonight.
You respond instead of react.
Old patterns loosen and new ones take hold.
You feel more grounded — as a leader, a partner, and a parent.
This kind of change is quieter than people expect.
But it’s powerful.
And it lasts.
The PEACE Method™
The PEACE Method™ is the framework I developed to help you understand what’s happening — in yourself and in your relationships — and respond with intention. It supports clearer communication, better decision-making, and agreements that actually hold.
PAUSE
Create enough space to respond instead of react.
EMPATHISE
Understand the other person’s perspective so thinking can return and conversations stay productive.
ASSESS
Identify what’s really going on beneath the behaviour or frustration.
CREATE
Build a workable plan together, not a top-down directive.
EVALUATE
Check in, refine the plan, and keep things moving forward.
How we can work together.
Private Advisory
Support for business owners, couples, co-founders and successor generations who want clearer conversations, healthier relationships and steadier decision-making across life and business.
Speaking & Facilitation
Keynotes and workshops for organisations, leadership teams, schools, and community groups seeking practical, values-led tools for communication, collaboration, and relational leadership.
I work virtually worldwide and in person in New Plymouth, NZ (& beyond) by arrangement.
“My relationships with my children have changed for the better. I am more aware of my own values and how to live by them. I feel more positive about my daily life and confident that I can be the best me.
I’ve learned amazing tools to stay connected with the people who matter most. I feel like I now have control of my own life, how I want to live it and how to keep it that way in the future.”

Common questions.
-
No. This is advisory. We focus on clarity, communication, self-leadership, and the relational dynamics influencing your decisions — in the business and at home. Many clients say it feels grounding and supportive, but it isn’t clinical or diagnostic.
-
Both. I work with business owners in many different personal and leadership situations. Some come on their own, some bring a partner, and others involve a co-founder or successor. We decide together what makes the most sense.
-
Most clients choose a longer-term partnership because the work is relational, practical, and woven into real-life moments. The first step is always a 30-minute fit call — from there we explore what kind of support would be the best fit for you.

The first step is a 30-minute fit call. It’s relaxed, honest, and simply a chance to talk through what’s going on and see if we’re a good match.
