I'm Ann Collins, your host, and I'm delighted to share with you inspiring conversations with leaders who love what they do. I'm a qualified and accredited international executive and leadership coach. I’ve recently returned to the UK after living with my family in France for 11 years, where I was also the Director of the Belfort School of English on the Swiss German border.

I help high achieving executives, leaders and their teams, working in global companies or organisations to build a career they love, to lead effectively with purpose and to have an impact beyond their organisation, creating new possibilities for others. 

In this podcast, I talk to inspiring leaders who have overcome challenges, inspire others and bring different perspectives on their role as leaders. Leaders across many sectors face similar challenges and opportunities and I believe that sharing provides inspiration, hope and engagement. In addition, I prepare mini-series on leadership and personal development issues that I see coming up for my clients in order to provide easily accessible support for all leaders in 20 minute episodes.

Thank you to all our contributors, and my clients, for making this podcast possible and for constantly inspiring me to grow too!

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a lovely experience recording the podcast.

Your questioning was so thoughtful, I hope it did it justice and ultimately it becomes useful for your listeners.”

"I'm listening to you every day and the first inner voice podcast was fantastic and the second one is just amazing. It's so true what you said and I'm really working on it and think of my inner voice again and again."

“Your words are inspirational. They have awakened in me a light ( an inner light?) that helps me find my way out of my problems. Thank you, Ann.”

Ann’s podcasts are great for thinking about the way we think. As a teacher, her podcasts give me tools for reflecting on my practice. I highly recommend her podcasts for leaders of all types. I particularly like her ‘inner voice’ series.
