Bio
Dr. Hudson Garrett, MPH, MBA, CPPS, FACHE, FSHEA, FNAP, FIDSA
I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Anna since 2018 in both a personal and professional capacity. Her natural human spirit is infectious and brings joy and calm to any situation and audience. As a poised professional speaker, mentor, and educator, Anna is able to bring her life's experiences to the table to help her clients and teams grow, prosper, and exceed their goals. I truly love her commitment to lifelong learning, excellence in her craft, and dedication to giving back to her community. She is a certified John Maxwell Executive Director, speaker, and mentor, but that was just her starting point. Her customized approach to leadership development is unparalleled in the industry. I can say with certainty that any client would be crazy to not want to work with a leader of Anna's immense talent. She is a true rockstar in every sense!
C. Simone Rivers, MBA
Anna has a way of nurturing you to greatness. Much like a mother who can see the weaknesses of her child and pull them forward by focusing on their strengths, Anna encourages her clients forward to the very best versions of themselves. Anna's leadership language is one that I enjoy listening to. I've witnessed her "magic" first hand and found her worthy of applause.
