I’ve been fortunate to work with some remarkable individuals and corporations.

 
 
 
 
 

But you don’t have to take my word for it…

 
This is by far the easiest testimonial I have ever written. Anne has a unique power (and very rare coaching ability) to challenge you while inspiring you to become much, much better. At life. Not just your career or the multiple other roles we all hold across all aspects. Her insights help to rewire your thinking in the most subtle but powerful ways. She promotes deeper thinking and better behaviors, you stop just “being” and you start thinking on multiple levels which creates a shift. Get ready, she is the very best.

Anne really helped me pull myself out of a career rut, and see the bigger picture. Through our sessions, I developed new skills and she provided tools to help me capitalize on the countless opportunities in front of me. She was always very present, positive, and encouraging, but not afraid to ask tough questions. I really enjoyed working with Anne and highly recommend her as a coach.

I hired Merrett Davies International because I wanted to develop leadership skills. I lacked confidence and looked around at my peers and superiors and wondered how I could be more like them – more confident, more sophisticated, more in control, more of a leader. What I learned from the 6 months of coaching I had was that I was really not far off from these people. Anne has diligently worked with me to identify what was holding me back from being that which I wanted to be. It sounds so simple, but it took a lot of talking and self-reflecting and repetition. But looking back, I now see how much I have transformed my thinking and way of working. Whereas before I thought of all the reasons I could not do what I dreamed of doing, she has made me see that I can do anything I want to do. She has helped me build a toolbox that I can go to when I’m struggling with things, like prioritizing work, preparing for important meetings, managing stress, and maintaining a good work-life balance. I feel so much more empowered and in control of things and because of that, I have a much more optimistic view of my ability to be a leader.

I now redeploy my energy in different ways and find I’m more constructive and far less reactive in my thinking and actions. I realized that throwing myself at things and working crazy hours was not the answer.

I had a great coaching experience with Anne Phelan. She taught me a lot about how the mind works as well as the law of attraction. Anne has provided me the techniques / tools to be very successful in business, and in my personal life, and shown me how to implement them. Anne has taught me how to fish!
