# Anne Gilkes Coaching

Anne Gilkes Coaching helps professionals, managers and business owners who think differently to communicate more effectively and progress confidently in their careers. Based in Teignmouth, Anne offers personalised NLP coaching and workplace training designed to cut through confusion, overwhelm and self-doubt.

For individuals, Anne provides bespoke personal coaching that creates dedicated thinking space for those managing teams or running businesses—particularly valuable for newly promoted managers or those navigating change without formal training. She helps clients understand their own communication and thinking styles, then teaches them how to adapt when working with people who are different, building genuine workplace confidence.

For organisations, Anne develops interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence across teams and management levels. Rather than relying solely on technical training, she recognises that effective communication and mutual understanding drive positive culture, better retention, and improved productivity. Her workplace programmes transform team dynamics from potential conflict into genuine collaboration and engagement.

What distinguishes Anne is her credibility within engineering and technical sectors—she's a ground engineer herself, giving her authentic insight into the challenges these industries face. Her approach moves beyond surface-level training, helping teams normalise discussions around communication styles and preferences as tools for inclusion and growth rather than judgement.

Clients report immediate, lasting impact: teams actively discussing their styles, improved retention, reduced misunderstandings, and measurably happier, more productive workplaces.
