I met Anita through KLC, and her expertise and style continued to show me how to tackle adaptive challenges in ways I felt like I was making progress. Her great questions dive deeper into how you approach challenges and are designed to help you achieve more in ways you didn’t even know you could.

She fostered a strong sense of team development, innovation, and excellence. Now as a career coach, I have sought her expertise as I navigate my international career.

It isn’t only her business acumen and expert insight that makes her an exceptional coach, it is her ability to listen and make you feel empowered enough to go after your goals.“

Sydney F.

Go-To-Market Strategist

“Anita was recommended to me by my manager several years ago. When I encountered challenges, she helped me uncover key questions and untangle complex scenarios to focus my effort.

During our time together, I particularly grew in three ways. My capability to manage stakeholders increased. I learned to prepare senior leaders for key decisions, and I learned to thoughtfully adapt my leadership style to best serve direct reports. Finally, Anita’s industry experience came in handy at just the right time.

Eventually, the president of my business unit selected me for a newly created role to manage several strategic projects for the organization. I highly recommend her as a coach for ambitious individual contributors and people leaders.”

Emily R.

SVP | Emprise Embedded | Strategic Relationships

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Anita as a professional coach for a few years. Anita coaches with empathy and intelligence. She has a gift of truly guiding you through a situation so that you have your own ‘ah ha’ moment and learning; don’t expect her to tell you what to do.

Anita challenges me when and where I need it and has on more than one occasion opened my eyes to a self-limiting belief that I didn’t even know I had. As a result of working with Anita, I’ve grown in both personal and professional capacities. I would highly recommend Anita as a coach to anyone who’s looking to grow.“

Pamela L., MBA, ACC

CFO at The Rose

“When I started working with Anita, I was a highly valued individual contributor who had been promoted to a people leadership position for the first time. Working with her, after a year of trying to do it on my own, absolutely changed the trajectory of my career as I learned that the skills and style that got me to that point were not what would get me to my next big role!

In every other development course I’ve been to, the content was the same for every student no matter what his or her background/situation was. In this case, working with Anita was 100% tailored to me, my situation, what I was facing at work that week/month/year. Her coaching gave me the skills I needed, polished some of my rougher areas, and even put me in a better position to coach others on my team and in my company. When looking at my development plans for future years, it was an easy choice between a week at a fancy business school executive education class or an entire year of personalized coaching that ultimately made me a better leader, employee, and mentor to my colleagues.

I sincerely and highly recommend coaching with Anita for anyone who is looking to take their career to the next level. She’s named her company Powerhouse for a reason! She can show even your best employees what their true potential is and help them grow to be the best version of themselves. If you’re looking for a coach who knows what it’s like to be a successful executive, a working mother, and how to expertly navigate inner politics of any organization, she’s the perfect coach for you or your team!“

Mary P.

“Anita was able to talk to me through the everyday management occurrences at my job to help me to understand the bigger picture. After she did some 360 interviews with my team, it helped me better understand strengths and weaknesses.

Her coaching, feedback, and insights were so helpful! I appreciated Anita approach as a guide helping me to read the map rather than just telling me what to do. We had several insightful conversations. I highly recommend her as a coach.“

Miranda J.

Vice President, Predictive Analytics at Emprise Bank

“Anita and I first met at Kansas Leadership Center for Coach Intensive Training. We were assigned to be in a group together for peer coaching. I cannot think of a better trauma informed coach to work with and help women discover their true power. She is truly an empowering coach!

What I love about Anita is she is genuinely curious about your thinking, belief system, and goals. She is kind, caring, and authentic in her approach and coach offering. You will never feel pressured to perform or be someone you are not meant to be. However, her ask of you is to be your true self, to reveal your true personal contradictions, and challenges and push yourself through the discomfort to get to the other side in discovering your personal power. Yes, it is scary!

Nevertheless, Anita creates an atmosphere of safety not because she is grounded in herself, and her training but because she is well informed about the various aspects of trauma and how it impacts a person. She will safely guide you through the hurdles that arise when doing the tough inner personal work. I assure you that you will be a changed person after intensive coaching. You will be a better and more empowered version of yourself — the one you always have dreamed of becoming.“
