Coaching for Social Impact Careers & Purpose
1:1 support to help you step into a career in social impact and lead with authenticity and purpose.
If you hear the quiet call to use your gifts in service of something more meaningful — this coaching journey is for you.
What is Social Impact Mentoring & Coaching?
Social impact mentoring and coaching is one-to-one support for people who feel called to do work that truly matters.
This may be for you if:
You’re moving into a social impact career
You’re building or growing an impact-led business
You’re a leader longing for more purpose and authenticity
Each journey is personal and supportive — helping you gain clarity, reconnect with yourself, and take meaningful steps toward the impact you’re here to make.
For leaders the world needs now.
You feel the pull to do work that truly matters.
On paper, you’re capable and accomplished, yet you know there’s more impact you’re here to make.
You want work that’s meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with your values — not just impressive from the outside.
But you may feel stretched or quietly burnt out, sensing the call to step into something more but unsure where to begin.
This work exists to support people like you — leaders and change-makers the world needs now.
The world is facing division, uncertainty, and urgent global challenges — and it needs leaders willing to show up differently.
Want to work in social impact — but not sure how to break in or do it well?
This space is for people who want to build the practical skills, confidence, and credibility to work in social impact professions.
Through mentoring and coaching, you’ll be supported to:
Step confidently into a social impact or social value role
Strengthen your leadership presence, influence, and stakeholder credibility
Understand how to design, deliver, and evidence meaningful impact
Build or grow an impact-led business that is both purposeful and financially sustainable
You’ll gain clear frameworks, real-world insight, and practical tools — so you can step into a Social Impact role with confidence and capability.
Successful on paper — but feeling called to contribute more?
Are you a leader, creative, or change-maker who feels called to contribute something meaningful — and to lead with heart, authenticity, and real impact?
In our work together, I support you to:
Lead with clarity, self-trust, and emotional intelligence
Align values, intuition, and responsibility with sound strategy
Clarify how you want to contribute and the impact you want to make
Strengthen boundaries and capacity without losing creativity or edge
Create meaningful, lasting impact without sacrificing wellbeing or integrity
This coaching is practical, reflective, and deeply human — supporting you to lead with purpose, give back in ways that matter, and build a legacy you can stand behind.

I built a social impact career and Business from scratch — and now I help others do the same.
I changed careers from opera singer into social impact with no prior background in social value — learning the work from the inside and building credibility through delivery.
I’ve grown national teams, coached career changers into fulfilling social impact roles, and understand what it takes to lead impact work in real corporate environments. I also know what burnout feels like — and how to lead with purpose without losing yourself.
Today, I coach and advise social impact professionals, career changers, and business leaders who want to build the skills, confidence, and credibility to deliver meaningful impact with integrity and heart. Alongside my private practice, I’m a Career Coach at the London School of Economics.

“I came to work with Anna feeling overwhelmed by the job market- unsure what I wanted and how to navigate the thousands of job titles out there. From our sessions I gained more clarity on what I’m looking for in a job, plus it opened me to explore job roles I hadn’t previously considered. This is where her career-sector knowledge was valuable. She brought presence, calmness, empathy and directness, to our sessions and used our time together wisely, providing some very effective strength and skills exercises to complete in my own time. I left each session with a boost of confidence of my prospects and optimism for next steps”

Anna is an exceptional coach—compassionate, insightful, and highly effective. She fosters an environment where I feel comfortable being open, while also skilfully keeping me accountable and aligned with my goals. I deeply value her instinct and her ability to get me to think more deeply - she helps me navigate challenges with clarity and supports me in taking tangible, forward-moving steps. She often picks up on underlying themes I haven't voiced, and her reflections are always delivered with empathy and thoughtfulness. Anna has been instrumental in helping me build confidence in my corporate career and, more recently, in creating a nurturing coaching space as I explore launching my own business. Her steady presence, thoughtful guidance, and practical wisdom have made a significant impact. She brings both sincerity to every interaction, and I feel truly empowered and encouraged to continue growing and making progress.
