Testimonials

"Six months ago, I was at a crossroads career-wise. I was aware that something new was about to happen and I could see the pieces of my "puzzle", but was not able to put them together into the full picture.
My dialog with Annette from Mindrise became the turning point:
I shared my thoughts with Annette and she challenged me on them. I was met with questions that made me reflect, and Annette provided inputs that became part of my process. From there, she helped me become concrete and take action.
Today I am the CEO of a major NGO, and for the first time I have managed to find a career path where I combine my commercial experience, knowledge and ambitions with my personal need to work for a greater cause and with a compassionate mission.
Annette has definitely been my catalyst in finding this path and I can only give my very best recommendations to anyone who personally or career-wise needs to be challenged to action."

"When I faced one of the biggest crises of my life 3 months ago, a divorce after 6 years, it was Annette who helped me and got me back on my feet - and I can never thank her enough. My ex-husband and my communication had completely broken down and Annette, in her sweet, empathetic but also straightforward way, has an ability to get me to push myself in the right direction - make the right decisions, even though my world was falling around my ears.
For me, the biggest help has been that we were at eye level. Annette has lived her life both successfully but also with hard times and with responsibility for her children, which makes her understand your feelings and despair, while she is not afraid to have the difficult conversations. She is the reason that after only 3 months I am stronger and much more like myself, with a plan for my life and a huge self-confidence and self-awareness that I would never have found without a mentor with specialties and professional and human insight. "Thank you Annette."

"After my MindRise program with Annette, I became more aware of different techniques I could use to work with personal weaknesses and challenges. Even though it was challenging to open up completely about my thoughts and uncomfortable feelings, I was taken lovingly by the hand. I felt safe and got a sense of a "safe space". The nervousness and fear I had before I went in fell to the ground as I sat with Annette. Not only was it a comfortable feeling, but there was also a clear structure of how she would work with my feelings and thoughts. My program has meant that I now use the methods Annette taught me to use in my everyday life. I have a much better and clearer idea of how to deal with feelings and thoughts that I would really rather not have. Usually when you open up about thoughts and feelings that are difficult to deal with, you can sometimes be afraid of being judged for them. This was not the case. I felt comfortable with Annette and felt that she was listening, supportive and in tune with me. She was really good at identifying the thoughts I was having and knew exactly how to handle and work with them, which was super nice when you are "lost" yourself. Annette has helped me move on from things I thought I would be stuck in for the rest of my life."
