Anna's story
Prior to founding Jester and supporting hundreds of leaders, Anna held the roles of team lead, project lead, head of, Director and special adviser to the CEO and Executive committee. However, the most important credential she brings to her work is her own experience of self-discovery as a leader.
Thought of as a high potential, a brilliant people manager, and a natural leader – on the inside Anna felt anything but. Feeling like an imposter in her role, lacking in self confidence and struggling to feel comfortable in her own skin, was something Anna became accustomed to in her early years of leadership.
During a transformational learning experience over a number of years, with many different life-changing experiences along the way, Anna learned the biggest leadership lesson there is – that to lead brilliantly is to lead confidently, naturally, and above all happily. And Jester is all about helping others to do the same.

Some people enter your life and don’t really affect you. Anna is NOT one of these people. From our very first session, I was blown away by her. She is bright, intelligent, funny, sharp, sensitive and inspiring.

Anna’s pace, manner and thought-provoking questions were ‘bang on’ (leaving no room to hide)! I gained more from her 90 minute session than I have in the last six months.

I consider myself quite self-aware already so the fact that Anna can come in and show me things about myself I had never even noticed is incredible. Every session is challenging but illuminating.
