Gary Noble Vice President of Manufacturing Operations, Reynolds American Inc.

Every collaboration with Ana brings measurable improvements, whether in processes, team dynamics, or employee satisfaction. Her approach creates a trusted and safe environment where people can grow, develop, and deliver results.
Ana is a highly able person with both broad range and depth in her competencies. One of the main differences with Ana is her willingness to invest emotionally with us as a client and a combined team. We see Ana as part of our team, not outside our team, just as a consultant.

Ana provides a trusted and safe environment between herself and her client. The circle of trust is defined and respected on both sides. No arbitrage or leverage for future work is used – which is a welcome change from past experience with other consultants.
Collaboration with Ana is deep and always serves a meaningful purpose to improve the quality of people’s lives, both at work and at home.

If I were to describe Ana in a few words, it would be competent, believable, Integral, dependable, and empathetic. In a nutshell, trustworthy!

 

Gary Noble on developing leadership team in BAT factory

3 years ago, I was frustrated and a bit demotivated by the lack of progress toward building trust within the new leadership team. I had aspiration and planned to be further through the ‘storming’ phase with the team. The result coming from the amount of energy put in didn’t feel like a good deal. The education module we had with Ana also confirmed some of my suspicions.

Directly after the module, I found myself in a ‘dark moment’ feeling a bit lost and helpless, focusing on the ‘negative’ points and ever-growing to-do list. I was not looking at the positives which were present in the team or the ‘progress on completion list’. Ana suggested we have a coaching session the following day, and a ‘de-brief’. I believe that Ana actually sensed the need for feedback on her contribution/performance in education module delivery, but also to scan me to see how she could help me.

Ana demonstrated her care and commitment toward our work collaboration at that moment. This was very special and demonstrated to me that Ana is really investing in our work and partnership. Almost all the consultants I have worked with (over 50+ from top blue chips EY, Cap Gem, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, etc.) do not demonstrate this level of personal commitment. With others, it feels much more like a transactional relationship and looking for the next piece of work rather than working to solve the current assignment.

Knowing that Ana is giving much more and is there also on the ‘dark’ days means a lot and gives me an immense feeling of confidence.

Collaborating with Ana now for 10 years, we managed to accomplish some remarkable achievements not only within the team but throughout the organization!

What I value most in Ana’s approach are her tailored solutions, visible sustainable results, and excellent execution. There are just a few people with whom you get more than you expected. Ana is one of them.
I had the opportunity to work with Ana on different projects. We started our cooperation on Presentation skills training eleven years ago. I was impressed with her knowledge and how she managed to upskill the whole group in two days. Since then, I have had the pleasure to see results of her work in different formats and on different topics, from preparing top executives for public speaking, individual coaching, to working with talents in a structured leadership development program.

There are a few things I would like to point out in Ana’s approach:

  1. Tailored solutions with in-depth needs assessment and intent to understand hidden challenges
  2. Visible results that stick – feedback coming from her coachees and workshop participants
  3. Excellent execution – always well prepared using different methods to “shake” the audience

I have been in the consulting business for more than 10 years and as an HR professional for 10 years, working with a lot of consultants and trainers from different parts of the world. There are just a few of them with whom you get more than you expected. Ana is one of them.

Ivana Kurtović Marketing manager, Adidas

I highly recommend Ana if you want a professional who has been mastering the art of communication for almost 20 years; a dedicated person who helps both individuals and companies to overcome their struggles and create meaningful communication, a skill that will change their lives both professionally and privately for good.

I had an opportunity to experience Ana’s outstanding expertise in communicology through her education programs I’ve attended for the past four years: Presentation skills, Elevator Pitch, Storytelling, Communication skills, Conversational Agility, and Influential communication skills. Moreover, Ana coached me to prepare a demanding public Keynote talk in English and in pair. Ana also coached and prepared me for a very demanding Elevator Pitch presentation in English held in front of the top 100 Global Adidas Executives at the WEMC18 conference in March 2018. Her coaching is powerful, well-experienced, and accountable, which is precisely the energy that she holds.

Ana is a very well-organized professional and customer-service oriented perfectionist with a very optimistic way of looking at things. She performs everything with such ease and with a smile on her face leaving you with a single thought “anything is possible”!

She is a hard worker and has no problem fitting into your schedule even during weekends! If there’s a tight deadline to deliver ahead, she is always capable of adapting to a new working environment. She has a very positive attitude towards any project given to her, which makes clients more relaxed and positive about the outcome of preparation. Although Ana finds time to joke during her sessions, she shows a mature approach to her responsibilities, which is the perfect balance needed for this type of work.

Ana is an amazing coach who opened my eyes in many ways. She always adapts to her audience, and I'm confident that even highly proficient speakers and communicators can learn something from her.
Ana is an amazing coach who opened my eyes in many ways. Before meeting her, I thought it was sufficient to be “simply natural”, but she showed that nature has many ways of expressing itself. She’s highly intelligent and does what she preaches: she always adapts to her audience, and I’m confident that even highly proficient speakers and communicators can learn something from her.

Finally, I think she can improve teams by providing simple and efficient methods of communicating more clearly within organisations.
