Ann Strong

Ann Strong has served as a business and life coach to hundreds of business owners and executives since 1997. She founded Thriving Coaches in 2005.At age 8, she knew she would own her own business. And, she always has. When Ann was a kid, adults weren’t always sure what to do with her inquisitiveness. Like the time she asked her grandma, “Have you ever wondered what your hair would look like if you didn’t dye it for awhile?” The philosophy written on a plaque she made at age 15 for her other grandma became the foundation of her coaching work today: “We are what we make ourselves.” As a junior in high school, her two favorite classes were world religions and psychology – more foundation for transformation.In her late 20s, Ann studied to become a minister in the Unity church. Then she chose not to minister in a church because she came to understand that a church board of directors governing her work would not suit her entrepreneurial spirit. As an experiential learner, for decades she has enthusiastically hired her own therapists, spiritual counselors and coaches. She’s an avid student of the Enneagram and the StrengthsFinderTM assessment. Her vocation and avocation involves studying and applying what brings out the best in human nature and each person in front of her.Ann’s own StrengthsFinderTM strengths clearly indicate that she is teaching, coaching and writing as she came here to do. As a Maximizer, she loves transforming strong you into superb you – more of the best of you, more of the time. With her Empathy, she sees the world through your eyes and your perspective. Through her Connectedness strength, she knows that we’re all connected and that things happen for a reason. As an Activator, she makes things happen – turning thought into action. With her Individualization strength, she loves supporting people in their uniqueness and in living from their strengths. And, ever the Strategic, she cuts through the clutter to find the best way.When she’s not working, you’ll find Ann practicing kundalini yoga, walking in City Park, soaking up the New Mexico desert, searching out a great new restaurant or enjoying an outdoor concert – preferably including Aaron Neville. She lives in Denver, Colorado two blocks from City Park, which she affectionately refers to as her big back yard.
