About me

Over the past 20 years, I have worked with thousands of Safety and Sustainability professionals, across hundreds of organisations and in multiple countries, witnessing first-hand the evolution of the professions. While supporting some of the most progressive leaders in the sectors, I have had a front row seat as they have had to challenge old ways of working and transform themselves to achieve their purpose.

This experience has given me a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge, which coupled with my skills in coaching, learning and facilitation, I am passionate about using wherever I can to have the most impact.

I am perpetually curious, and over the years have shown that my ability to truly listen, understand different perspectives and bring clarity to complex circumstances enables me to support both individuals and teams in a variety of contexts. 

Because my own personal growth story is ongoing, I am able to bring openness and transparency to every working relationship. I know what it is to fail and to learn the lessons. This means I can meet you wherever you are on your journey. Personally, I continue to work on myself every day because I know it is critical to living a full and content life and making a difference to those I work with. My mission is to bring this same opportunity to others.

How I work

I believe the context of where you are today is critical to your growth, so my first step is always seeking to understand your needs, whether we are working together individually or collectively.  Starting from a position of non-judgemental curiosity, identifying what success would mean for you, and adapting my approach to meet your needs is fundamental to creating a true partnership and delivering genuine impact through our time together.

With these intentions in mind, I constantly challenge myself to learn and develop, for my own personal growth and for everyone I work with. I strongly believe change comes with a blend of support, accountability, and kind challenge, which is exactly what you can expect me to bring to every interaction.

What others say

  • I can't recommend Anna highly enough as a coach to any professional in the sustainability industry looking to maximize their potential and realize their purpose. Anna's unique ability to blend professional coaching techniques with a deep understanding of sustainability principles and personal values, sets her apart as a coach who can truly make a difference. I have personally benefited from her sound guidance and perspective countless times, helping to navigate challenges and opportunities with greater confidence.

  • For the past 6 years it has been my pleasure and privilege to have Anna Keen as my professional coach. I could scarcely imagine what lay ahead at the beginning of this journey but she has been influential and inspirational throughout. Not once has she told me 'the answer' to any of the elements we have discussed, instead expertly guiding me to the solution that was right for me and which I already knew deep inside but all too frequently could not recognise. The discussions are always deep, intense and frequently challenging but Anna's unique skill is never making it feel that way resulting in me being a much better person than I was when we first met, personally happier and professionally more fulfilled. This, in turn, has helped me be the enabler to far too many positive outcomes than I count and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her unique skills to all.

  • Anna has been a significant player in both my personal and professional development. Our coaching sessions unearthed some hard truths, helped me to gather great insight and develop a new approach to leadership that continues to serve me well. Hard hitting and empathetic, Anna has the ability to help you go deeper and further than you thought. The deconstruction and build back better process has been transformational and I regularly return to Anna for sage advice. Without a shadow of a doubt I’d recommend engaging Anna, wether you feel stuck or you just want to unlock that next step in your performance, Anna has the tools, brains and personality to help you reach what you might perceive as being out of reach.

  • Anna is one of the best, most vibrant, intelligent and progressive professionals I’ve ever worked with. She is not only one of the best coaches out there, but her thirst to explore, understand and share makes her an asset to any team or work stream she is on. To top it off Anna is authentic, caring and is always on the look out for an opportunity to grow herself and others. She is truly brilliant.

    Crystal Danbury, Director of Group Safety and Insurance, Sainsbury’s

  • I have worked with Anna over the past few years, her honest advice and thought partnership have been incredibly valuable for both me and the teams I have worked with.

    Ruth Denyer, Senior Director, Production Health and Safety at Netflix and Co-President IIRSM

  • Rejoining the world of work after maternity leave and starting a new role as Head of H&S was pretty daunting, however choosing to work with Anna as my leadership coach was one of the best decisions of my career. Anna has been a sounding board for me, giving me confidence in my own abilities and giving me a framework I can rely on to make tough decisions for myself. Anna has a special skill of helping me to find the answers to my own questions, helping me find the values that are most important to me and has supported me through the highs and lows. I would recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a coach to support your growth and development as a leader. Thank you Anna!
