Who's Anneli?
Professional People Whisperer
Skilled parallel parker
Running, salsa and roller-blading addict
Anneli is on a mission to humanise the leadership landscape and change the way we see each other. Known affectionately as the ‘Professional People Whisperer’ (don't hold that against her), Anneli has become the trusted advisor for many executives and leaders when it comes to increasing their influence, engagement and interpersonal impact for better business results - for themselves, for their teams and for their companies.
Anneli uses her vast knowledge and decades of experience decoding people, to bring the everyday behaviours and communication habits to the forefront of getting results. It’s often the simplest shifts that create the biggest results, but the key is knowing what to shift. The way we interact, communicate and connect with others has a dramatic impact on our ability to get results.
Anneli’s clients’ know that social skills are the skills for the future - Customer service, collaboration, leadership, culture, change management, sales, negotiation, all require an ability to read people, to connect with people and to understand what makes them tick. People skills amplify technical skills. No connection, no competitive advantage. And the choice is always ours.
One of YMag’s Top Ten Women to Watch in 2019, two-time Telstra Business Women’s award nominee and Certified Speaking Professional (one of only 150 in Australia and only 50 women), Anneli is the co-author of several books on shifting human behaviour with her latest book, Developing Direct Reports: Taking the guesswork out of leading leaders,’ providing a reference guide for developing leadership performance on the job. Currently she is working on her next book, ‘The Gender Penalty: The penalties that sideline women at work and the power plays that even the playing field,’ drawing on her extensive experience in supporting women to navigate the leadership landscape and accelerate their careers.
Anneli’s client list includes Mercedes-Benz, Vanguard, Ernst and Young, Telstra, Victoria Police, NAB, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, and many more. She has been featured as an expert on the documentary ‘The Gender Narrative’ (8-episode series) as well as across multi media publications including Foxtel's Sky News-Business Success program, The Australian - Business Review, Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph, The Advertiser, The Courier Mail, HuffPost, 3AW, and Modern Business Magazine, to name a few.
Oh and she’s a nifty parallel parker, a keen runner and a salsa dancing addict who loves any meal cooked by someone else! :)
She may also love her cat more than she loves her husband… but she will neither confirm nor deny these claims…

“Anneli has been a tremendous asset to our organisation. She has the truly unique gift of being able to cajole, probe, challenge, nurture, communicate and interrogate in such a way that she makes all who work with her become better people and to bring out the latent talents we all possess. ”
