About Anne Mace
Who am I?
I am a transglobal personal coach and my specialist areas of coaching are
- working with those with special needs,
- supporting individuals with mobility challenges,
- health professionals and carers,
- those who are moving,
- people who face tricky business including time management challenges or relationship challenges either professional or personal.
I am a mature, fun-loving person with a great sense of humour
who is widely read, enjoys travel, entertaining, gardening, wine
and watching sport, particularly rugby. I am married with 3 adult
children who live all around the world.
I consider myself to be an international person as I have worked
for long periods in England, Canada, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
This provides me with a unique basis from which to encourage
the professional and personal development of you, my client.
I am a
- New Zealand Registered Occupational Therapist
- Working mum, domestic engineer, spouse carer
- Counselling course graduate
- Small business owner
- Graduate of Coach U, the premier provider of training for coaches in the States
As an Occupational Therapist I worked in physical rehabilitation,
where I set up and ran my own Physical Rehabilitation department,
and also worked extensively in OT departments in very large orthopaedic
hospitals which specialized in hip replacement, trauma and long
term rehabilitation from chronic illness.
I then moved into the area of working with special needs children
and their families, administering developmental assessments,
planning and implementing programmes for the special needs children,
and running support and counselling groups for the parents.
I also worked with primary school teaching staff to advise on
management of the special needs children who were in their classrooms.
The smiles of the special needs children I have worked
with are a gift that I will always treasure in my heart.
When creaky joints meant I could no longer work on the floor
with special children, I decided to follow my belief that if
you wish to do something you should become qualified to accomplish
it; so I trained for 3 years with Coach U, the premier provider
of training for coaches in the States to become a qualified coach.
Now as a graduate of Coach U, as well as a registered Occupational
Therapist I have the skills, competencies and experience to become
your very own effective, efficient personal coach with the skills
to assist you with your challenges whatever
their source.
I run one on one coaching as well as group discussions. The provision of one-to-one coaching allows individualized, personalized attention designed to meet your specific needs, allowing you to take action to move forwards, and see the results of your actions very quickly.
Group discussions provide a facilitated focus, which explores
a particular topic allowing you to benefit from and contribute
to the solutions other group members have used to remedy the
challenges you may be facing.
My coaching is done by skype or phone from the comfort of your
own home, or office. This allows you the freedom to access my
services without the need to travel, and from where ever you
may be at the time when our call is scheduled. Calls are
organized to fit in with your commitments, and we discuss topics
in order of importance to you.

I am a member of the Auckland Chamber of
Commerce, which provides a large part of my on-going professional
education, and also provides me with the ability to expand
my networking.
For the past two years I have been a member of the National Board
of Management of the Post Polio Support Society of New Zealand. Very
recently one other board member and myself have completed all
the data input from a survey of our members which is supplying
the first NZ statistics onpolio survivors, the life they are
leading and the challenges they face. As a Board we
then aim to minimize these challenges on a national basis to
improve quality of life for these people.
My coaching is based on my natural ability to listen and my keen
understanding of human nature, which combined with my non-judgmental,
empathetic and powerful approach, allows me to hear the real
meaning in our conversations and coach you with great success.
I believe in coaching my clients to identify their values, increase
their personal development skills while setting realistic and
achievable goals, managing change, enhancing their relationships
whether personal or professional, and improving their self confidence.
My coaching practice is comprised of articulate, intelligent,
thinking people who are prepared to take action to use their
talents and skills to create a better lifestyle for themselves;
bearing in mind that they may not readily recognise what their
talents and skills are.
The things I value most in life are the truth, positive attitudes,
loyalty, communities, laughter and independence.
But most of all, I care about YOUR ability to
enjoy YOUR life, and I believe that together
we can make a significant difference to your levels of enjoyment.
Peace and love to you all.
