Meet Anne Walsh

I am a trainer, writer, coach, Life Blueprint  facilitator (see the work of Laura Berman Fortgang), computer lover.

I adore crime fiction (John Connolly, Elizabeth George, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, Henning Mankell) and personal development.

Most people comment on my sense of humour..dangerously dark. Friends say they feel great after talking to me, that I’m practical, honest, straight, easy to talk to. They also tell me that I’m a great person to brainstorm with as I can always see options. My strengths are my warmth, my enthusiasm, my can-do attitude, my desire to serve others.

I’m willing to take risks. My first job after University was in West Africa…as a teacher, when I had never taught. I left a job I was miserable in (with no job to go to) and found work I really enjoyed…I left a cushy job in Dublin to move to the west coast of Ireland…again with no job. I’ve been self-employed since 1997. My weaknesses are that I’m impatient, not VERY detail-oriented and can be a bit of a martyr from time to time.

I’m too short for my weight (I’m really 7 foot tall and a supermodel). I love technology. I love everything to do with learning and growth. I live in Connemara on the west coast of Ireland, where I can see an island with a 5^th century stone church on it. I can walk to a deserted beach in 10 minutes. When I have my morning cup of coffee, I can see the Twelve Bens from my window. I also work as the Irish partner of a European project UNEC and am having a ball working in a multi-cultural group. The plan is to make it a course to deliver to companies all over Europe to give trainers/educators the skills to work successfully in a multi-cultural environment.

I’m married with one son. My son has believed (until recently) that I was 21. I had him when I was 12. Of course that is slightly inaccurate…

My vision for the next year is to “make my spiritual self strong”. I’m embarking on a course to be a spiritual director in September . I also plan to build up my online presence so that I have 1,000 subscribers to my website www.annewalshcoach.com and convert my other website www.vision-reach.com to a membership site.
