Evelyn H., Engineers Nova Scotia

I had the privilege of attending a workshop led by Ann-Marie, and it was truly transformative. She created a safe and supportive environment that encouraged growth and sharing, making it both enjoyable and deeply impactful. Her warmth, humor, and genuine care made the experience not only educational but also uplifting.

Through her expert guidance and thoughtfully designed exercises, I gained invaluable clarity about myself, my business, and my personal life. The workshop helped me identify my goals and devise actionable plans to achieve them. Remarkably, six months later, I realized I had completed every single item on my list—an achievement I am incredibly proud of!

Ann-Marie is a true professional whose dedication to helping others reflect, focus, and succeed is unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a meaningful opportunity for growth and self-improvement.

  • "The Champion Women’s Summit 2024 delivered timely content to help me better understand my inner critic, my inner champion, dealing with drama, and much more. It has changed how I manage people by empowering them instead of rescuing them. Ann-Marie’s energy kept me engaged throughout the entire Summit. I loved the movement breaks, the teamwork, the creativity, and meeting new people. Fabulous!"

This change of champion Summit ignited the fire that was extinguished. The insurgence of energy empowered me and infused my thoughts with Shero, the hero (my champion). As we navigate, we constantly pump up the volume and learn to grow through what we go through. These Women were amazing and doing great things. This was the ultimate power surge I needed. "

    —Bridget Williams - President and Founder of It Takes a Village

  • "I had a great experience with you and the summit over the last few days. I was totally out of my comfort zone and most times I did not like it but knew, in the effort to grow and learn, I had to put myself out there. It was a great learning experience for me. I know I knew those things and we, as an Emera affiliate, have small scale access to these types of training experiences, but attending in person with you, was a great experience for me. Having the ability to listen to all the other powerful ladies’ experiences was empowering to me."

It was also a great way to meet a group of wonderful women who were all engaged the whole time. Ann-Marie is a dynamic facilitator; her energy is amazing."

Women’s Program Reviews:

This program really built my confidence and allowed me to be more comfortable with my thoughts. Hearing other peoples experiences was a great way to see that you are not the only one who may be having certain feelings. I have developed a strong 10 minutes into my daily routine to recognize my thoughts and reflect while being active. I found myself wanting to reflect and think about each topic everyday each week, something I will continue to revisit in the future.

Former Student (from anonymous post-course survey)

Loved all the content! Participating in this course brought valuable tools to empower me not only in business but also personally. Each session built upon the other, like building a house, laying the foundation and adding the different components of the home. I have been doing a lot of inner healing on myself since 2021 and realize how far I've come. One of the things that really spoke to me was that I have been way too hard on myself.

Former Student (from anonymous post-course survey)

For most of my life, I lived from a Victim Mindset, and the title of your course propelled me to take it—The Champion Mindset! Our thoughts are so powerful, and living from a Champion Mindset is liberating, exciting, and oh, the places we get to go.

Thank you, Ann-Marie, for delivering such an amazing course. I love the energy you bring to each session, coming in as yourself and without judgment toward others. You truly want to help us succeed in our own businesses, and that is reflected in the way you deliver the course. Thank you for being our cheerleader.

Former CEED Student (from anonymous post-course survey)

  • "Thank you for being “your authentic self”! Participating in this five-week Champion Mindset Course was an honour and privilege as I learned, experienced, and engaged with you and these beautiful women. I love challenging myself and getting out of my comfort zone, and I can say with confidence, “I succeeded!”"

    —Elaine - Entrepreneur

  • "I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for creating and teaching the Champion Mindset course. The work is so powerful and is something I know I’ll be coming back to review time and time again. It’s been a lovely experience to be vulnerable in a group of online strangers and feel the connection as everyone speaks their truth and works through their personal barriers. "

    —Shannon Paquette - Entrepreneur

  • "The program helped me helped me become cognizant of my "inner critic" and recognize it when it's strongly present which then helped me act in such a way to feed my "inner champion" instead."

    —Former Student (Anonymous Post Course Survey)

  • "The subject material was relevant, and even though, at times, I didn't feel like doing the activities, I was so glad that I did. Because of the journey I'm on, I have been asking myself, including my body, what and why I am feeling the feelings that show up. Sometimes, it can be very painful; however, it's been profound to discover what shows up."

    —Beta Champion Women's Program Student (from anonymous post-course survey)

  • "The Champion Mindset is life-changing for those who want and have a desire to grow. Many of us are trapped in a mindset that doesn't fuel our inner champions. Our society never taught how to embrace imperfections, or how to course correct when we get into a downward spiral of comparison. This program will help everyone discover their inner champions"

    —Former CEED Student (from anonymous post-course survey)

  • "The Woman’s Champion was a confidence booster for me. It showed me to be more confident in my decisions, how to be a stronger leader and believe in myself more. The summit was very engaging all the material was very informative. I loved the movement breaks, the teamwork, and the uncomfortable stage. It showed me that it is ok to feel the uncomfortable, you just have to work with your inner champion to get through it not let your inner critic make you run."

    —Tracy Henry, MBA, Executive Director

  • "Working with Ann-Marie Flinn is an opportunity that I am very thankful for. The impact of her dedication and mindset coaching has changed my life. What started as a journey to change my body, had very little to do with proteins, carbs, fats and lifting weights and a lot to do with my inner critic(s) - there are many. Identifying and acknowledging them when they show up has been instrumental in my life. Working with Ann-Marie allowed me to nourish the relationship with my inner champion and took the power away from the loud, negative voices of my inner critics."

    —Josh Eye - Senior Consultant

  • "Working with Ann-Marie for the last two years has allowed me to develop a deep inner knowing that I am worthy and capable. Like my body, my mind and life can be sculpted and molded. Strong body, strong mind. "

    —Josh Eye - Senior Consultant

  • "Ann-Marie’s infectious enthusiasm and positive energy made my first time speaking to a life coach such a memorable and engaging experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help support them through their journey, you just need to put in the hard work and dedication as having a life coach doesn’t do the work itself, you really need to put the time and effort in and that’s when you truly can sit back and see the results and how far you have come in the process!"

    —Morgan Jackson 

  • "Coaching with Ann-Marie has been an incredibly uplifting experience. Her natural ease with communication and recognizing when to bottom line really helped me to get to the root-cause of issues needing to be addressed and discussed. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with you and would highly recommend any individual or organization seeking a health and wellness coach services that is ready to embrace change to reach out. Thank you Ann-Marie for all that you do!"

Oh yes you are!! We never put ourselves first as we're so busy taking care of everyone else around us. Let this year be the year about YOU! Thank you Ann-Marie!"
