“Anne is exceptional with how she facilitates the development of key skills with any group she works with!   Some of her strengths include demonstrating proper etiquette at high level functions along with promoting meaningful networking skills that continue to build key relationships long after an event has concluded. . . . . . . a GREAT choice to work with any international gathering, multi-nation event and/or networking activities that include multi-cultural/multi-ethnic types of programs to create a positive atmosphere that is dynamic, enriching and fulfilling for all participants involved!”

~ Brad Dowell, Faculty and Agricultural Advocate and Mentor

“She brought in some important topics such as how to enter a room for a function and how to socialize with others professionally. I learnt how to properly shake someone's hand and what the correct amount of eye contact is … As well I found it interesting the amount of detail that goes into attending an event as small as putting the name tag on properly and what is considered rude to some people.” 

~ OC Applied Degree student

“I have known Anne for many years as a consummate professional. Her expertise in adult education, marketing, networking and leadership are well demonstrated. Her international training in etiquette and protocol has allowed her to expand and apply her deep understanding and demonstrate the importance of these principles.

Being a friend of Anne's both personally and professionally, I have learned so many effective elements that have enhanced my own practice. Anne is a master facilitator, and makes her courses very special for all. The skills and knowledge shared are a definite asset in any organization where networking is a part of the core business.”

~ Keith Smyth – President OCFA

“A few years ago, I had the pleasure of being a student ambassador for Olds College. Throughout the year I was able to receive some coaching on etiquette and protocol for upcoming formal and social events. Anne exceeded my expectations and allowed me to feel confident, educated and well equipped going into said events. Anne’s in-depth knowledge and years of expertise truly made the coaching an enriching and enjoyable experience.”
