“Before attending the creative coaching and SEE classes I lacked self-confidence in my ability to get the best from the staff and teams I managed at the V&A. Working with Anna gave me self-confidence and coaching tools to work in an authentic way with my colleagues and on my own professional development. This even led me to having the confidence to work freelance, and I now live between London and Barcelona running my own museum consultancy business.”

Dana Andrew, Freelance Museum & Gallery Consultant

 

“Anna worked together with different department teams in the Foundation to plan and organise a hands on creative workshop for our organisation’s all staff away day based around the theme of creativity and how to implement that in the workplace. The day was an absolute success mainly due to Anna’s great vision and imagination and ability to draw in different people into collaborating and taking part in a fun ‘mini exhibition’ workshop. The feedback from her workshop was fantastic and the learning from it helped our staff to their jobs in a more creative and dynamic way. Staff have asked for more workshops like this in the future.”

“Working with Open To Create... was revolutionary to the way our regional marketing teams at G Adventures work. We went from being the ‘doers’ to embracing creativity in everything we do – from running reports, to creating design briefs for designers. Working with Anna helped channel creativity in everything we do, and made turning the most routine tasks in to having fun. Anna was warm, engaging, and was able to relate to a whole range of personalities.”

“Anna Sexton is a wonderful and inspiring woman. She is full of creativity and working with her is as playful as efficient. Her tools and techniques are different which makes you go further and uses all of your senses. She challenges you, helps you think broader and out of the box. After my sessions with Anna, my project of opening Zest For Life Studio suddenly made total sense. It was the right journey to pursue after 10 years of marketing and being a mum of two young kids ...”
