Anne Taylor

Anne Taylor is the Founder and Director of Directions Coaching Ltd (www.directions-coaching.com)

Business is in Anne’s blood. She was raised in part by a businessman, attained a Business Degree in Canada, and worked for over 20 years at P&G and Nestlé across many countries. She is still exposed to business academia through her work at London Business School and IMD Switzerland, and as a member of the London Dean’s Advisory Council for Lazaridis School of Business + Economics at Wilfred Laurier University (WLU), her alma mater. She has coached 100’s, if not 1000’s, in business in the UK and abroad such as Nestle, EBMT and Ford among others.

While Anne was working in a Global Marketing role at Nestlé in Switzerland, both her parents died unexpectedly 22 weeks apart. This experience opened her eyes to the power and importance of being heart-smart (aware of emotions and their impact) and led her to retrain as an Executive Coach, one of a small number certified through ICF to the level of Professional Certified Coach. It also highlighted the importance of living a life of gratitude and No Regrets, which she elaborates on more in her book.

From a business perspective she believes that leaders need to be head-smart and heart- smart for continued success and satisfaction. From a human perspective she believes that when we all act with emotional intelligence (soft skills), business, relationships and life are all better.
