Professional Background

Throughout my career, I have been helping others to do their best, either through coaching, mentoring, leading, or more generally through supporting them.

For much of my career, I had the immense honor and pleasure of working with an education and research center in banking and finance – developing and implementing the strategy and processes which led the institute to reaching  the number 1 ranked academic institute in the world.

Today I support others to align personal growth and professional satisfaction and specialize in supporting executives and aspiring executives on getting ahead more easily and ethically in the workplace and finding a career that they love.

I also support foundations and associations in areas such as stakeholder management, fund sourcing, and public-private partnerships.

If you need this kind of support, please reach out to me and we can have a conversation about how I can help you and your organization reach your goals.

Testimonials

Following you will find testimonials from people that I have mentored and worked with along the way. 

I met Anita at a turning point in my life and career. Being an ambitious person throughout my life until that point, I had never taken any time for myself and my own interests but pursued achievements one after other. I enjoyed working hard and succeeding until I did not anymore. By then, I had already taken this bold decision getting out of my comfort zone to put myself and my interests as priority (not my job) but I was still feeling lost living the consequences of this decision, pushed myself in too many directions and got myself even a bit depressed facing the corona pandemic developments around the world. Anita is an amazing person, who understands ones’ specific situation in the first 15 minutes of meeting them and has already a plan how to support them getting out of the situation. The relief I felt when I started to work with her accompanied by the feeling of finally getting back on track and going on with confident and secured steps towards my goals was invaluable. Her clear guidance and effective and open communication skills makes her an extremely good coach. The natural transformation I saw in myself and my point of view to my work, my career, my life and professionalism following the empowered executive program still amazes me. The best decision and best investment I did for myself I can honestly say, and for this to have a meaning I even have a PhD in Finance from one of the top institutions in the world.

“Anita came along when I was at a crossroads in my life. I had no idea who I was professionally or what I wanted to do. Anita helped rebuild my professional confidence, discover my truths and empower me to reach my full potential. Not only because of her powerful program but also the connections she helped me make. She helped me realize that my future lay in my past. Everything you learn or do in life projects you forward to the person you are now. Knowing your own self worth and identifying your skills sounds like something we should all be able to do yet many of us struggle with this. Anita sheds the light on our accomplishments and clears the cobwebs from lost ambition. She challenged my misconceptions and helped me understand my true narrative, my truth. I have no hesitation in recommending Anita knowing your future will be amazing with her as your guide.”

“I feel very lucky to work with Anita and I cannot tell you what a difference it has made in the way that I approach work, my career, and confidence. I think the thing that makes Anita unique is that it’s not just practical strategies using NLP and it’s not just career or work advice, she melds the two together and I think she has the best of both worlds and understands what your goals are and what you are trying to achieve and provides the tools necessary for you to achieve that efficiently with NLP. Anita is just amazing. She is so lovely and she really understands what you are trying to go for. I cannot say enough nice things about her and I can’t wait to keep working with her.”

“Anita appeared in my life at the perfect moment, when I was confused about where I should move and what steps should be taken. During our journey, Anita was there guiding and supporting me. During and after our work I felt empowered and more confident, and I made a decision where I should move and what I should do to achieve my goals. I’m really thankful and I think this is a life-changing experience!”

“Working with Anita is like activating Waze for your brain. You will learn how to communicate with your own personal control center, re-design routes, and get to your destination. My professional life hit a massive iceberg and work went from being the love boat to the titanic… and I survived. If you are considering coaching and are ready to be challenged, you should reach out to Anita.”

Shifra G.

“Anita harnesses the asset of being a great career mentor through her own career experience, nurturing nature and most importantly, a genuine interest to help guide others to achieve their own goal. At first, I was very uncertain how to steer my career in the ‘right’ direction. The only limitations were set by my own boundaries. Each week with the aid of Anita, I came to arrive at my own self-realization that my work-life balance doesn’t have to continue in the traditional format. Addressing how to do this was hard at first but I managed with her help and guidance.”

Sandra Y.

“Anita was incredibly helpful and supportive at a difficult time in my professional and personal life. Her coaching style is warm, honest, caring and knowledgeable. She always had the best advice and practical tools and suggestions to help navigate the process.”
