Success Stories


“Anna Steel deserves my absolute strongest possible endorsement, both personally and professionally, for being a great teammate and leader. Having had the privilege of working closely with Anna for many years, watching her organize and lead a workshop is like watching a masterclass in facilitation. Her ability to engage participants, foster productive discussions, and create a safe and inclusive environment is nothing short of remarkable. But it doesn’t stop there! Anna also possesses unparalleled coaching and leadership skills. Through her guidance and support, she has helped countless individuals grow both personally and professionally. Her dedication to developing people and empowering them to reach their full potential is truly inspiring. What sets Anna apart is her innate ability to make a profoundly positive impact on every organization she’s been involved with. Her passion, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment to excellence have left an indelible mark wherever she goes. She consistently brings out the best in her team and goes above and beyond to ensure success. There are typically four forces of nature discussed, which include gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. I can now confidently say I’ve witnessed a fifth force of nature, and that’s Steel, as in Anna Steel!! In summary, Anna is a true gem in the facilitation and coaching world. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her will undoubtedly benefit from her expertise, unwavering support, and contagious positivity.”

Darin Evenson

Director of Enterprise Risk, Airbnb

“I started working with Anna while experiencing severe burnout. My career felt like something that was happening to me; like being strapped into a questionable roller coaster, and I couldn’t imagine any other kind of ride. Anna’s approach was unlike any other coaching I’ve experienced and considerably more effective. She helped me to identify my strengths, passions, needs and boundaries. Working with her enabled me to understand my burnout, identifying what I could let go, and which embers could still be rekindled to fuel something that mattered to me. Together, we envisioned a path, and she taught me how to both build and navigate the route. Her methods felt empowering, healing and supportive. Most coaches build confidence in their coaching or their methods. Anna helped build my confidence in myself. As a direct result of her coaching, I have clarity in my path now, and I’m excited about my career again.”

Tara Yeiter

Senior Manager, Airbnb

“Working with Anna has been an incredible transformative experience. Her ability to identify the core of any challenge and guide me toward discovering my own solutions has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. Anna’s strategic mindset and her knack for thinking outside the box always provided a fresh perspective, empowering me to approach problems with confidence and creativity. Each conversation left me energized and inspired, armed with actionable solutions and a renewed belief in my abilities. I owe much of my career advancement and personal development to her insightful coaching and solution oriented approach.”

Jekaterina Savinova

Senior Manager, Airbnb

“Emily is among the very best leaders I have had the privilege of working with. I have been consistently impressed by her ability to take on increasing responsibilities and execute with excellence.
