Annie Simpson

For 20 years I have been developing leaders though coaching, training and facilitation.

At the University of Toronto, I was the Associate Director of the Troost Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering. I helped technically-oriented people become effective people-leaders. I led a team of 6 staff and convened 14 academic professors. I know first-hand how rewarding and challenging it can be to lead.

At Western University, my work is exclusively with people-leaders. I am privileged to bring communities of leaders together for learning and conversation that inspires their ongoing growth and impact. I have created and delivered customized professional education for Women in Capital Markets, Toronto Hydro, and the University of Toronto’s OPTIONS program among others. I enjoy working with leaders from various sectors including corporate, higher education and not for profit.

I received coach training from the College of Executive Coaching and I specialize in emotional intelligence, team leadership, and helping leaders to discover and reconnect with purpose. Values that guide my work include compassion, creativity, equity & inclusion, generosity, and integrity. I believe that leader wellbeing is essential to organizational success.
