anne lewis Coach, Mentor, guide

Your expertise and judgment are vital. You deserve recognition and full value.

You are at - or close - to the top of your game and known for your commanding grasp of your area of expertise.

Your knowledge already makes much happen. You care about the contribution you deliver.

Next you want to make your mark to know you've added what mattered.

I work with people like you - making strides in creative fields, in science, in healthcare, in academia, in leadership, in management, in the professions and in tech. You are ready to increase your reach.

Our work will power a deeper sense of who you are and what you have to offer.

I believe my own knowledge set is close to unique - a blend of expertise, creativity, corporate experience, and published arts and science writing. During thirty years in a full time role at CTV News, I came to know hundreds of topic experts, thought leaders, politicians, researchers, health care providers, lawyers and many more purpose-driven contributors to society. Through my award-winning reporting I am equipped to translate complex concepts.

All this combined to enrich twelve years teaching at Montreal's Concordia University and now eight years as a coach/mentor/guide.

I know intimately that corporate acquisitions, mergers, reorgs and vast technological change are part of the challenges we must survive.

Into the mix layer a life-long artistic practice, mainly in the visual arts. (I am honoured that The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts purchased one of my works for the Saidye and Samuel Bronfman Collection of Young Canadian Artists).

your creativity is a powerful advantage in this VUCA world..

You may be concerned about any of an entire range of issues and efforts - from the personal to the planetary.

Sharpen your focus by coaching with me: we’ll apply imagination, ingenuity and discernment to our inner landscapes and to the cast of characters who live there. In our childhood we developed these inner judges to protect ourselves, but they hang around unchallenged. Often we allow them to silence our best ideas. (Please scroll down for more information about inner critics).

Then you'll share your new awareness with your circles of influence.

Much of our time together is live on Zoom. You can opt to receive another portion through a richly resourced private app - Positive Intelligence®. (Information through the link.)

And of course, as a former TV journalist, I bring my thirty years of communications experience to the table. I have workable supports for you.

Your accompaniment during a particularly intense and difficult period in my life helped me greatly and your teachings are now part of my daily life.

You are truly an enlightened and empathetic coach.

I hope that many other people will meet you and benefit from your serene presence, open to art as well as to science and daily life.

Thank you Anne!

Anne opened me up to who I really was by guiding and digging deep to my core of where my issues stemmed from. I realized the importance of emotions and how I had neglected them all these years. Knowing that, she provided resources and activities I would - till this day -go back to as it helped tremendously!

Anne is patient and wise. She picked up nuances that were going against me to pivot me toward a better direction, developing who I was as a person. It had also transformed my outlook in life.

I highly recommend Anne for anyone who wants lasting lessons and are curious to discover more about themselves.

Thank you Anne Lewis, for being authentic in your coaching talent and helping me through my self-development journey.

As over-achievers it is important to pause, praise and acknowledge “We are enough” .

Thank you so much for your coaching guidance.

I am blessed to make this journey with you. You have helped me greatly regarding my procrastination tendencies and how I react to stressors in my life. I used to -- stop, really stop -- and turn my grief, pain and anger inwards. Since I was a child my life has been full of chaos and tragedies and I am keenly aware that I have not realized my talents to their full fruition. I remember the young woman I was at university who made a big impact on her teachers and in other realms as well. I thought that sky was the limit, but it was not possible without reeling in the voices of my childhood judges.

Now, I feel like I can finally accomplish my potential as a late bloomer and that's fine by me.

Coaching with Anne Lewis brought me clarity around the speed bumps and road blocks I've put in my own way and provided the impetus and focus to stay in forward motion. Not necessarily in checking off the items I have to do, but around developing a positive mindset for 'how I have to be' to hit my targets.

I think that what Anne Lewis has as a person is a depth, and I think that this makes a difference, Beyond listening and re-framing, there's something intangible - it is the essence of who she is, caring, compassionate, not afraid to go deep, down the "Mariana Trench". She is not afraid of that."

Mary Damianakis, A.C., Mediator

The single most important thing that I have learned from Anne Lewis is that coaching is like an emotional/reflective process where you become increasingly aware of your habits and the ways in which you need to grow to better scale your business.

Anne Lewis is generous, warm, wise, and a wonderful coach. She asked relevant questions, helping me think about my path. She has a good sense of humour, and was encouraging, helpful, and challenging when needed. Anne kept me on track and helped my business grow, which was my goal. I recommend Anne Lewis most highly as a coach.

Coaching with Anne Lewis was useful and strategic for me to get perspective on the issues in my life that needed attention. Her kind and supportive questions helped me focus on what really mattered to me, make decisions and take manageable actions in areas where I had felt overwhelmed.
Thank you, Anne!

I started in a very complicated situation with not a lot of direction and I was much greener, much more confused about my business. It's almost like you have a rough idea of what you're going do next, but by putting aside a certain amount of time, becoming aware of the next stages of growth, saying it out loud in coaching, really verbalizing it and preparing yourself for it, then you have more chance of actually growing in that direction and actually completing the tasks that you imagine yourself completing.

I've now grown Robot In A Can into an increasingly consistent and international business.

Coaching is really helpful, different from business mentorship and most important for entrepreneurs to guide their growth.

Anne Lewis reinforced my determination. She helped me trust my capacity to make it happen.

We brought Anne Lewis in to help us with a decision we had to make.

We asked her to work with us to untangle the confusing circles we seemed to be going in, to help us stay on track and be more objective. She worked with us to identify the core values we wanted to honour in making this decision. This made it possible to plan together and put that into action.
