Listen Life Coaching

I honestly didn’t believe much in my ability to pursue my project idea prior to meeting with Ann Imig. I know what I could do but was sort of limiting my vision. The only thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to make a living from my passion and not from yet another job.Ann is a great listener and can pick great ideas from the conversations we've had. Also, after our first meeting, Ann run a personality test. Then she pointed out at my personality traits that are more compatible with the idea I want to develop. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and it helped me overcome the fear of starting something new from scratch.After four sessions with Ann, I have already taken significant steps to develop a business plan: it now has specific goals, and a map of steps to take to implementation. I have a breakdown of the services I am qualified and willing to provide, a clear idea of where I can capitalize on my personality traits that are compatible with my project. I have contracts, pitch letter, and invoice templates. I have started a database or potential clients. I have a scale of the prices I can charge for my services. I have also a OneSheet with a short narrative for each of my services to send to clients who are considering contracting with me. I have stored all these documents in a google drive. I am pursuing several small contracts. I have designed curriculum, have started pitching my ideas, done research on my competition, and gained confidence on my edge, my uniqueness.I am so grateful and honored to say that Ann Imig helped me develop my business idea. Thank you, Ann.

There is a reason why Ann is the Listen coach! When Ann listens, she hears beyond the words that are spoken. She gets to the heart of what is truly being said…and felt. She is able to see past the chatter and hone in on the client’s truth. With empathy and compassion, she then asks her client beautiful questions that elicit self-reflection and insight. She brings a sense of humor and warmth to every session, while also making sure that the client stays focused on their goals so that they can move forward.

Ann not only helped me set goals to keep me on track with a creative project, she helped me remember the strength within in me. She did this by helping me define my innate (and life-gained) gifts. Every time I felt stuck or spoke negatively about my abilities, Ann was able to turn my thoughts back to the good and positive and exciting parts of myself. She did not do this by placating or reading a script. Her words were (are) always genuine, intuitive and wise. HER gifts are clearly present and active in the work she is doing and I'm forever grateful for the ways she has helped me gain traction and believe in myself again.

I came to Ann during a difficult time. I was let go from a job that wasn’t a good fit and was stuck trying to find a new job at a time where I wasn’t able to be positive. I had a hard time recognizing my strengths which made searching for a job extremely difficult.I had no idea what I wanted to do and Ann was able to help me shift towards a positive mindset. She took the time to listen to me and understand what I needed at the time. She understood that it was a difficult time and made me realize that what I was doing wasn’t easy. She focused on what I was good at, what I enjoyed, and how to find a job that fit my strengths.Her positive energy was infectious and my day was completely different after speaking with her. She led me through a hard time and I will always be grateful that there are people like her in this world.Ann kept me accountable, made me stay positive, and made me treat myself kindly. Ann not only helped me through a job search, but also helped me realize that I was valuable and that I deserved to be happy. She is great at what she does. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend or family in need of guidance and positivity.

Ann Imig is fantastic! Her coaching has helped me uncover my unique strengths as a human being and a business owner. While working with Ann, I was able to plan and execute a successful event, which I could never have done on my own. She held me accountable and helped me through mental roadblocks along the way. She understands people and takes the time to get to know the way you think and work so she can cater her coaching to your individual style. I highly recommend her services.

I was adrift for nearly a decade. Outwardly content and thriving but in the quiet moments struggling to find the “next thing” and show up as my most authentic self. I searched for answers in countless ways but remained stuck…until I began the 6 week course with Ann and the Creative Positivity group. Ann’s knowledge and experience with the Positive Intelligence program provided a safe and nurturing place for the group to explore the challenges of both our inner and outer lives while empowering us to face these challenges. Right away I began tapping into a part of myself I never knew existed, and it has been utterly profound. I learned skills and actionable daily practices that will help me steadily grow my mental fitness and unlock my truest potential. Learning PQ has changed my life.

Working with Ann was such a clarifying experience for me! Before working with her, I had some vague ideas of what I wanted to do; but, I had no understanding of how to make those ideas become reality. Ann is a great listener and guided me through the work of gathering my scattered thoughts and distilling them into an actual goal. There were a few times when I'm sure there was a cartoon lightbulb over my head when something clicked as Ann and I were working. The tools that Ann gave me, and worked through with me, have produced an actual plan and map for achieving two goals that have been on my to-do" list for years. Having a plan (that I've already started implementing) has removed a huge weight from my shoulders and helped alleviate the guilt I felt for never reaching these goals. I am so glad Ann and I were able to work together!"

I worked with Ann and Listen Life Coaching during a period of my life where I needed some career direction. In my search for a coach, Ann stood out from the crowd with her positive, genuine and welcoming tone in our short, initial consultation. It became less of a business transaction, and more of a true connection. There was empathy there that I didn't sense from other coaches that I very much appreciated. Less sales-y, more human. And while I wasn't necessarily seeking the holistic life approach to my career exploration, that was also something that appealed to me. I would very much recommend Ann for anybody looking for some inspiration and direction in their personal lives and/or careers.

I first met Ann Imig through a group of Wisconsin writers online. What I have learned from her presence and example, is the affect and possibility that comes when you take action. Many of us, like me, don't know where to start and need a road map along with encouragement. This, for me, came in the form of Ann. She was there to help me co-produce my first stage show, something I never had the courage to see myself doing. But I did it, with success and knowing she was there behind me. I don't have enough room here to tell you how Ann can see far up ahead where our limited vision doesn't yet allow us. Any coaching from her will take you closer to your hopes for yourself. This is a definite service for me. And I am grateful to have met Ann.

Ann is an incredible coach. She helped me think through some tough decisions and to align my goals with my strengths and values. It was my first time working with a life coach and I feel very lucky that I was able to connect with such an effective professional. I plan to work with her again in the future!
