“To say Anneli’s presence was a high point of the conference is an understatement. Over the past ten years I seen over 500 presentations and Anneli’s was definitely above the 95th percentile. Anneli was very well prepared, extremely knowledgeable and highly engaging. The response from delegates was very positive. We would gladly have Anneli speak at one of our conferences in the future. I would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Anneli and her team for being part of the event, they were a joy to deal with.”
“As the current Managing Director of the largest professional association for Coaches in Australia and New Zealand and the former Director of Learning and Development for AIG and AIA, I have developed an extensive network of high caliber speakers, trainers, coaches and facilitators.
There are many professionals in the network who excel in one or more of these modalities, but there are few like Anneli who are able to excel across all of these areas. I invited Anneli to provide a keynote presentation at our recent National Coaching Conference and she was a standout highlight amongst her peers and a clear top-of-the-pack leader against the other 21 speakers at the event.”
