Anna Gordon is a Career Strategist, Mindset Coach, and Speaker based in Manitoba, Canada.

Howdy, Friends! I'm Anna Gordon.

I'm a Career Strategist, Mindset Coach, and Speaker based in the beautiful prairie province of Manitoba, Canada. I am passionate about helping people navigate their careers with confidence and define success on their own terms. With 20+ years of experience (gulp!) in employment facilitation, career development consulting and coaching, I am dedicated to supporting others on their journey to own their value and embrace their worth so they can STRUT (wink) towards the career success they crave.

I would (humbly, cough, cough...) say I'm a kick-ass champion, cheerleader and mountain-mover (oh yeah!). My greatest thrill is helping people shine - to witness the moment they recognize their unique brilliance and step into who they want to be. Movement, mindset, networking and self marketing are my jam.

A self-proclaimed Idea Monster, I love wild ideas, inspired challenges, and scribbling down solutions for the greater good. (Did I mention that I keep a paper and pen next to my bed?) These days you'll also find me talking about climate action and my deep desire to help people connect and engage with one another in a meaningful, nonjudgmental way.

Impressed yet? No? (Sheesh!) Here's some street cred...

I am a:

Certified Career Strategist (CCS)
Certified Work-Life Strategist (CWS)
Strong Interest Inventory® Certified Practitioner
Professional Member - Manitoba Association for Career Development (MACD)
Professional Member - Career Professionals of Canada (CPC)
Sought-out speaker and facilitator for the Canadian career development sector
Mentor to newbies in the field of career development
Certified Fitness Instructor Specialist (surprise!) and member of CanFitPro

Like I said, I have been doing this for 20+ (gulp) years!

Roles I've held in my career:

Employment Facilitator
Professional Resume Writer
Career Coach
Labour Market Services Advisor
Career Development Consultant
Special Consultant - Career and Workforce Development
Recruitment Advisor & Talent Manager
Manager of Employment Programs
Director of Employment Programs

Best part? I've been fortunate to gain experience in these different roles from a variety of environments, including: nonprofit organizations, government offices, for-profit businesses, and as a business owner and self-employed consultant.

And...I've also enjoyed a few non-linear career adventures!

These include:

Working as the Volunteer Coordinator for a food bank in order to learn more about food insecurity (aka HUNGER) and its socio-economic and generational effects.
Teaching Group Fitness and Zumba Fitness for close to a decade and writing/speaking about how it made me a better Career Professional.
Taking a year off to work as the Engagement Coordinator for a small climate action organization, helping to build and market the climate course Talk Climate to Me.
