Ann Attayek Carr, MS, PCC
Coactive Colleague
Just try to nail down what draws your attention to Ann Carr. Is it her intense and creative energy? Or the uncanny way she listens to you and hears the things you didn’t think to say? Or maybe it’s the fact that her working style is as nonjudgmental as it is honest and direct, making it easy to trust her and open up to her? Ann’s clients would say all of the above. Ann’s gift is her ability to use all of these skills and her in-depth knowledge of human and organizational change dynamics to help individuals, groups and organizations transform. Ann particularly enjoys coaching and facilitating small groups and individual executives, inspired by their “aha’s!” as they move from realization to increased effectiveness.
