Book Annah Stretton for your next function 
Feedback from past speaking engagements:Dear Annah, Just a quick note to thank you very much for coming and speaking to our Bubbles & Inspiration ladies in Masterton. It was a fantastic turnout of 150 women and every single women left saying “WOW!”. It was amazing that no women in the room had heard you speak before, and everyone wants to hear you again & will be off of buy your new book as soon as it is released. Your presentation was a breath of fresh air and was true inspiration. Your positive attitude and determination was clearly shown in your address, and we have had many emails and phone calls since you spoke.

By KATIE FARMAN - Wairarapa News Passion, integrity and a positive attitude are what makes New Zealand business entrepreneur Annah Stretton tick. "I've never doubted myself.

“Annah has set a new standard for the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce ASB Bank Inspiring Speaker Series. Her strategies for personal and business successful were excellent and gave the audience a ‘tool kit’ to take away. The feedback I received from members who attended was the best that I have ever had. I would strongly recommend to any business group that they take the opportunity to have Annah as a quest speaker.” Brian Dawson General Manager Chamber of Commerce Malborough “Annah - your words have been ringing in my ears since Tuesday and I have been using my 'voice' - today I sold a course in a personal situation where I would usually not have 'voiced' - I am learning and thank you for your sales nous and sound business reasoning.” Jessamine Corpe Money Mastery Limited “Hi Annah, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your participation at the workshop in Palmerston North. My mind has been spinning since! I got a lot out of listening to your feedback to the lightbulb business owners and can see how the ideas that were shared can be used in building my own business. I have been really challenged to stop undervaluing both myself and my business and I am pleased to say that I have made some huge steps forward! Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you next month.” Carolyn Tranter Doula Beginnings “Inspiring speaker. Passionate about her many pursuits and backed by a sharp business mind, a potent combination for success. Left me wanting to hear more from Annah, will have to buy the book!” Graeme Andrews Commercial Manager ASB Business Banking “THANK YOU!!! The workshop at Palmy was great! Having three businesses featured was an excellent focus and I have been able to take something for my own business from the comments you made to all three. The format worked really well. The last hour with your presentation was also excellent and the handout a great tool to nail the core elements necessary to give focus and clarity of vision – thank you. Thank you too for your succinct and very valuable comments on my A4. You nailed it absolutely. The A4 was a tool a business consultant recommended I use until my budget allowed for printed marketing material and I knew it wasn’t okay (I should know by now to trust my instincts!). Now I know why it wasn’t okay and what I need – so exciting.” Leigh Rosanoski BLISS Event Stylist “I so enjoyed coming to A Lightbulb Moment Workshop today. I felt enthralled to hear your attitudes and ideas. I have come to feel downhearted with New Zealand 'culture' of mediocrity'. In Zimbabwe there was no financial back up if things went wrong - and things went wrong! Jobs were lost, kids got sick , car parts were no longer available ... fuel, milk, flour and deodorants ran out! I was brought up in an 'I have to - therefore I can' culture. What a buzz to hear this (and so much more) in your message. I left with a mixture of feelings. I fought feelings that I was in the wrong business because I am unsure how to increase profit without being there - but I love the work I do - and I'm good at it (counsellor). BUT - there will be a way. I also shifted my thinking in terms of 'in this profession it is mildly shameful to take money' - and one does not get out there and display oneself, ethics and codes and all that. Gone - no - done a shift there. Also I shifted in terms of my belief that not many can afford to pay for counselling privately - that's holding me back. I'm stuck with my book idea, but have made a few connections today, so will hold your thoughts, your energy, your belief ... and push myself to next steps. Thank you very much for today. It was so very worthwhile.” Gail Barltett-Harris MNZAC Counsellor “Annah Stretton is a truly inspirational role model both as a highly successful entrepreneur but also as a woman. She is a driven, focused, motivated woman running a high profile, profitable company. As a mentor she is tough, fair and forceful. She will not allow you to rest on your laurels or give anything but your best when she has identified that you have the potential to succeed and grow with your business. The insight she brings from her wealth of business experiences assists you in planning strategic moves, identifying the right people for the right seats on your team, implementing robust systems whilst focusing on the bottom line. I thoroughly recommend Annah as a mentor and feel privileged that she has taken time from her busy schedule to assist with the growth in my Company and myself.” Cilla Hegarty Founder/ CEO NZ Tax Refunds Ltd “If you want your team to feel they can take on the world and win, ask Annah to speak to them about her career and guiding principles – a result is guaranteed. Annah’s honest up front approach and determination to succeed inspires people to think again about their take on life. ‘If Annah can do it, why can’t I?’ Her no-nonsense attitude and strong work ethic, combined with a desire to see others achieve, inspired our team of managers and her presentation was the highlight of our conference.” Marie-Ann Billens General Manager Estee Lauder Companies “Listening to Annah at our Women in Super function was akin to a personal 'power-coaching' session since there was at least one potentially life-changing takeout for every woman in the room. We liked Annah's direct, common sense approach to making a difference for yourself and getting on with achieving your goals. She wrote out a permission slip for women to take no prisoners, think like a man and never be afraid to give something a go if there is a business opportunity before you. What also resonated well was that she keeps a balance and is very prepared to give something back through mentoring and through her capacity building approach to her philanthropic passions. We loved hearing the story of someone who started out with little and made a go of it, yet, after all that success, remains approachable, grounded and generous of spirit. If you get a chance to hear Annah, don't pass it by.” Women in Super “Thank you so much for sharing your Strategies for Success and tips to drive your business forward, although I work in a non for profit business, I personally still received real information that can be applied in my everyday life. You are such an inspiration to me, and wanting to help as well. I will be in touch closer to our Restyle Design Competition in our retail shops with the high school students. You certainly recharge my batteries and motivated than ever. Thank you.” Helen Kelland Funding Development & Marketing Manager Te Omanga Hospice |
