ANN COOMBS
Ann Coombs brings powerful life experiences to her audiences, along with her experience working with a worldwide client base as a thought leader, futurist and facilitator.
For the past 28 years Ann has successfully lead her team at Coombs Consulting Ltd. based in Vancouver, Canada. The extensive client list covers multi-nationals to small non-profit organizations, and the goal is the same – to serve with authenticity and provide current information that brings about change and meaning to an organization.
Ann is passionate about bringing imagination, innovation and integrity to the forefront for her clients, and does so in the most creative ways, which include her idea lab and vision sessions that challenge current thinking and approaches. One of these sessions was held in Alcatraz!
A former broadcaster, she has been nominated for the Woman of Distinction Entrepreneur and Innovator Award, winner of the prestigious ICSC Retail Design Award, in addition to the SME International Award for Marketing Communicator of the Year.
Her recent projects included creating a world-first program for trauma survivors and members of the adult burn community – “In creating this program for individuals who have suffered untold pain, insensitive stares and isolation, my approaches and understanding of the human soul will never be the same. It has been a gift to me to create something of value to a group that needed so much support”.
Ann continues to serve and bring inspiration to non-profit organizations from Prague to Seattle, by conducting retreats and strategic sessions to deal with current economic challenges.
In addition, she has worked in the arts and cultural sector for many years, where she combines her experience in both the corporate and non-profit sector with one of her many interests.
From serving on Boards, to managing an active life coaching practice, Ann is an active volunteer member within her community, and continually offers support with her company services where possible.
Bringing individual resilience to her clients is the ultimate goal - in addition to expanding on the importance of courage and integrity.
