Ann Greene Principal Consultant, Coach & Facilitator
As SupportCoach’s principal, People & Change is my specialty and I will partner you through your transformation journey.
To support your success, I bring 20+ years of transformation expertise at leadership level. My purpose is to unravel the real challenges in your organization or career and with you, co-design a roadmap for success with a realistic timeframe for achievement.
As your executive coach, we will outline the results you hope for and convert these, with a clear vision, to an action plan for success that is grounded in your personal values. We’ll start with your “Why”* to really understand why this is so important for you. (*”Start with Why”, Simon Sinek).
I have 1000+ coaching hours, have designed and delivered national university courses, facilitated keynote messages at 100+ events with global corporates, and have supported many people to radically transform their careers.
Clients include: Trinity College Dublin, The Law Society of Ireland, Zurich Group, Roche Pharma, Allianz, PayPal, Rehab Group, Government and Entrepreneurship agencies, National Governing Bodies (NGBs), Fortune 500 global management consultancies and many Small/Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Some insights to my background
Transformation has been dominant throughout my career: transforming departments, restructuring organizations and supporting clients to reshape their business and career. I have enjoyed the privilege of working with leading global brands including Microsoft, Autodesk and McAfee, and held leadership roles in SME organizations. Key roles have included project managing business start-ups, developing peak performing global teams, recruiting principle stakeholders, amalgamating processes following acquisition, and closing businesses.
My leadership roles have been on both sides of the desk, as client and vendor, and I have led virtual, multicultural teams. The journey has been challenging, sometimes lonely and always rewarding. Many professional relationships built through my career remain strong friendships. Collaboration has been the key to success, supported by continuous learning. COVID lockdowns allowed space to achieve a Master’s degree in Leadership & Strategic Change, blending academic learning with business acumen for fresh insights to resolve client challenges.
Personally, the critical impacts from 3 potentially life altering accidents, combined with practical learnings from philosophy and education, have developed grit, taught me the value of balance, and bring empathy to client challenges. Life’s personal pleasures include spending time with family, friends and my dog, being close to the ocean, exercise, travel, and a passion for music.
