I’m passionate about helping you find fulfillment in your life’s work.
Hello! I’m Anne Grieves
My Path
My love for working with people started in high school with an after-school job as a waitress at The Magic Pan. On any given shift, I looked forward to hearing the stories from all the different people I met from so many walks of life.
After college and graduate school, my career path led me to work with the International Education Institute, Wheaton College and later at Elderhostel (now Road Scholar) as an in-house trainer. It was there that I became a certified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator facilitator.
When I Found My Own Spark
This became the perfect springboard for me to jump into career counseling, where I was able to get to know people on a much deeper level. My passion for helping individuals led me to become a certified Gallup CliftonStrengths coach and implement the Strengths-based coaching approach with my clients.
How I Bring it all Together for You
Focusing on each person’s unique strengths, I guide people toward identifying and achieving their career and life goals through coaching and developmental programming. Whether working with individuals or in team building, I encourage clients to lean into their “Eureka!” moments, shifting the paradigms around exploration, and re-imagine their goal setting. My passion for this work truly helps my clients identify and achieve their dreams.

“I was Anne's client in the Clarity Coaching Program. The insights and expertise she provided made a tremendous impact on my understanding of my personal strengths, weaknesses, and career potential. Anne is what I coin a "highlight coach" in that she has the ability to pinpoint critical aspects of a client's skillset, thought process, past experiences, and aspirations, shedding light on how every aspect plays an important part in the client’s search for a career that is successful and fulfilling.
She accomplishes this by establishing a step-by-step process individually tailored to the client. Anne is intuitive, understanding, and patient, as well as a great listener. She creates a clear and honest assessment of the client's abilities and potential. Anne inspires with encouraging words and a calming personality. She genuinely desires to see her clients succeed in their career discovery. I believe that is what gives her joy. I have no doubt that Anne has played a very critical role in my journey towards finding a career that is emotionally fullfilling and successful, and I have no reservation in saying her clarity coaching has been priceless.”
— P.L.

I highly recommend Anne to anyone who wants to take steps towards a brighter career path - she will help guide you every step of the way!”
