Anna is a kiwi, who's spent 10 years living and working around the world. Starting out in Television as a Camera Operator and Floor manager, then travelling extensively. She worked on Superyachts for 8 years in the deck department as a Bosun.
When she went to leave the Superyacht industry she struggled to know where to go or what to do, and had a bit of an internal crisis 'Do I work as a professional varnisher' or 'Should I be going back to what I did before?', 'What do I do, and where do I go?'
Working 1:1 with a coach she got clear on what she loved in life - helping others grow and develop, doing things that were different and exciting, exploration and being creative. She could see these things tied into all the best aspects of her previous careers and life. So she decided to step into a space where there was a desperate need for help.
'The industry always had so many people helping you to get in, helping you along the way, then when you go to leave, as in Education, it's like jumping off a cliff into the unknown...'
She said 'I saw so many others failing in their attempts to exit because they didn't truly know who they were or where they wanted to go, so they tried to replicate their current jobs on the outside world, and in turn finding it didn't work, and they came back to yachting. So I really wanted to stop this cycle'.
She now runs APetchell Coaching where she is the Yachting Exit Strategy Coach, helping yacht crew to get clear on who they are, and where they 'actually want to go' with their futures.
Anna works with people who are struggling with finding out how to use their skills in a different industry and marketplace. She loves helping people get really clear on their internal compass and discovering who they are, alongside exploring options and possibilities, and then putting these into practice.
