Embracing the science of positive human change

“It is our choices… that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Life Satisfaction Quiz - Are You Ready for Change?

Answering these questions gives you some indication of the level of satisfaction in your life right now. If you have difficulty answering #1 and #6, you are ready for change. If you rate yourself low on #3 and/or #4, you will benefit from some outside perspective. If you don’t know the answer to #7, you need support to move forward. If you easily answer #2, go for it!

  1. What are the 5 most positive things in your life?

  2. What are 3 things you would like to change in your life that would make it even more satisfying, effective, and joyful? (Examples include relationships, information, environment, job.)

  3. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being least effective and 10 being most effective), rate the quality of your life.

  4. By what criteria did you rate yourself?

  5. What percentage of the life you are leading is actually YOUR life?

  6. What prevents you from being at your best?

  7. What energizes you?

Life is a journey of choices

We can pivot our beliefs and behaviors and learn to anticipate and willingly embrace growth and development.

We can choose to think and act differently about ourselves by drawing upon the incredible knowledge, strategies and tools that have emerged over the past 35+ years to help people change in positive, life-generating ways. I invite you to explore your own potential by embracing this new perspective on human change.

Some choices we make are truly magical, some are disastrous, and many just turn out to be mundane or uninspired. 

How are you making the “right” choices that may have the power to expand or constrict the significance of your life?

Research tells us that up to 90% of our decisions and choices are informed from beliefs that exist at a non-conscious level and they can hold us hostage to old, limiting ways of seeing ourselves. But we also have an innate capacity for resilience and adaptability.

About

I developed an early passion for travel and made the youthful decision in my 20’s to spend a year backpacking in Europe. Little did I anticipate that it would ultimately change the trajectory of my life. I spent the next five years living and working in three countries, learning two languages, starting a new career and meeting my future husband. One of the truly magical and fateful choices of my life.

  • Gracious, kind, generous...

    “Having read and been inspired by Ann Clancy's seminal book on Appreciative Coaching, I requested executive coaching from her to assist me on a business adventure. Fast forward 12 years, and Ann has been a steadfast mentor, coach, and consultant. Over the past six years, she has provided executive coaching to members of our leadership team, conducted strategic planning sessions, and facilitated professional development across the organization on numerous topics including effective change management, organizational design, leadership development, and Appreciative Coaching. Ann is exceptional at creating connection among seemingly unrelated variables and helping to identify generative solutions that maximize efficiency and create positive outcomes. Her vast knowledge in organizational development and experience across multiple industries provides a solid foundation from which she readily accesses innovative resources and strategies. Her strategic mindset and love of helping people enables her to empower individuals and teams in identifying creative solutions that bring forth their full potential. Ann is a gracious, kind, generous, and wonderful person to work with, and she is quite adept at working with people across all levels of the organization and from diverse backgrounds.”

I am continually impressed by her ability to get to the heart of whatever is arising, helping me to transform and integrate in a powerful way. My life is immeasurably better having her in it as my advisor, coach, colleague, and friend. I highly recommend working with her. “
