Anita is an accredited professional executive coach and qualified coach supervisor; she has been working with Genius Within as an associate coach since 2012.

Anita identifies as neurodiverse, she has learned to value her own strengths and finds it rewarding to help others on their journey.

When Anita is coaching at her best she is really engaged in listening, she loves the creativity of finding the right question to ask, or the right coaching framework that suits the moment.
