About Anna

I am unusual in enabling people and businesses develop far-reaching insights into both their inner worlds and the wider world in which they are building their future. I have specialised for over 15 years in transformative processes supporting empowered mindsets and resilient strategies in challenging and conflict-affected contexts. I draw on extensive experience as a member of the Association of Professional Futurists, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, and Founder-Director of the futures thinking agency Flux Compass, as well as author of two progressive books on business strategy and culture with Palgrave Macmillan: 'The Brand Strategist's Guide to Desire' and 'The Innovation-Friendly Organization'. I can help you build preparedness for disruption and finding constructive ways forward. I have worked with corporates and multilateral groups, in universities, business schools and with multilateral organizations across the world, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, the UK and Europe. I have a 1st-class degree from Oxford University and a Master's in Gender and Comparative Politics from SOAS, London.

Good to Know

Client Requirements
I meet clients where they are (literally!) through highly tailored experiences. Sometimes a projector and mic is useful, but I have also delivered workshops outside. I mostly use circle formats or breakout tables, and additional floor space to bring in movement is always an advantage. Good natural lighting also supports creative thinking.
Additional Notes
Yes – I have done keynotes at corporate-facing conferences and events drawing on my books, as well as inspiring talks to entrepreneurial networks. I am also enjoy taking part in panels, podcasts and fireside chats.
