Testimonials

“Anne C. Kelly is a gifted coach, facilitator and trainer. I have had the joy and honor to participate in the Metro DC ICF Facilitation and Training Community of Practice that she organizes and leads. She is wise, kind, compassionate and genuine. She listens deeply, asks insightful questions, demonstrates flexibility in her approach and infuses joy in every session. I am so happy to have found Anne and the meaningful group she facilitates to support other ICF professional coaches in continuing education and deep connection.” Deborah Jane Wells, EMPOWERMENT, Board-Certified Coach, Author and Reiki Master Teacher

“Anne gave me one coaching session and a book to read, and I have kept her advice in mind ever since. In fact, I have passed a few of these tips onto others and they have been very helpful. Anne is intuitive, welcoming, knowledgeable and is good at pointing out the gaps. I would recommend her highly.” Darcy Richards, Frederick, MD

“I had the great pleasure of meeting Anne in 2007 during her certification as an Inspired Learning facilitator. What really stood out for me was her range of expertise, passion for learning, and ability to deliver a rich, well-designed, experiential session. And this was just in the first months of knowing her! She understands what it takes to design a session with purpose, practical application, inspiration, and sensitivity to different learning styles. Combine this with her ease in front of a room, excellent coaching skills, and generous spirit….well I just find this to be a powerful package. Indeed, Anne brings a unique approach and blend of talent to help individuals, teams, and organizations move forward in a positive direction.” Deb Waterstone, Certified Coach/Learning Consultant

“Anne is gifted in creating a safe space for exploration and growth. The value I received from our three hours of mentor coaching was immense. Anne’s ability to create a clear agenda and structure and her preparation for each session is outstanding. Anne reinforced learning with handouts and other resources after each call. Anne’s passion for coaching is contagious. Thank you Anne for your assistance meeting my goal of recertification and more importantly, inspiring me to set a goal for applying for my PCC.” Pat Herber, ACC, Leadership and Life Transition Coach

“Anne Kelly is one of the top 5 Inspired Learning Facilitators I know of in the world! She creates an amazingly safe, inviting, and comfortable learning environment that promotes open sharing and sharing of best practices among the learners. I love her natural humor and easy flowing operating style. I find myself smiling throughout the entire class and I always take away a new insight, learning or deeper appreciation of each class’ focus. Thank you for being a great coach, great Inspired Learning Facilitator, and great human being!”   Peter J. Reding, MBA, MCC, – Co-founder Coach For Life

“Anne is calm, insightful and deeply supportive. She has a great ability to hold the space for the coachee to think, reflect and have insights, and she provides steady guidance over the duration of the engagement, yet always keeps the coachee in the driver's seat. I loved the way Anne continued to reflect my thinking and feeling, helping me build a sense of my cognitive and philosophical journey. It really helped me understand my old patterns of thinking and my new patterns. At all times, she was deeply respectful and nurturing, yet challenged me around my thinking. If you have deeper questions about life, then Anne is the coach for you. I whole-heartedly recommend Anne as a coach." Chris Ridler, Director - Leadership, Coaching and Performance, Performance Potential

“Anne is a truly masterful coach. She is compassionate and professional while holding a completely safe space for me to be transparent, explore, and discover my own answers. She's a great guide on the path. She gave me lots of space to explore (I like lots of space) and brought me back to my focus in a way that didn't interrupt my rhythm and flow. Great questions, redirects, and reframes! Anne is an amazing support and superb coach. If you have a direction, hire Anne; she'll support you to achieve your goal!”   Joanna Davis, MCC-pending, Coach For Life Faculty
