About Anne Alexander

After earning a “cum laude” degree in Social Change & Development in 1980, Anne gained professional experience in marketing and sales, problem solving, trouble-shooting, assessing needs, and designing and developing programs to meet specific goals. She has worked for over 20 years in small businesses and done it all - everything from shipping, customer service, production, inventory, inside and outside sales, marketing, accounting, project management and co-chief cook & bottle washer of a small manufacturing business.

Always attracted to learning, personal growth and professional development, Anne enriched her business skills through training programs offered by Jay Abraham, Michael Gerber, Brian Tracy and other industry leaders. She enhanced her natural coaching talents in successfully completing the coach training program at Coach University, with additional training at the School of Small Business Coaching and the Graduate School of Coaching. In 2000 Anne received the International Business Broker's designation of Certified Business Intermediary. As a business broker, Anne looked under the hoods of many businesses and gained additional insight into what makes a successful business.

A lover of people, animals and nature, Anne’s deep spiritual beliefs and commitment to social justice inspire her current work with professionals and business people. “Authentic Alternatives” combines Anne’s life experience and business expertise with her professional coach training. She provides authentic “Breakthroughs Coaching” to business owners and professionals seeking greater success, balance, and fulfilling lives.

While you might meet Anne hiking up a mountain, wandering in the woods or attending an art exhibit, you’ll surely find her in Fort Collins, working with clients, writing a screenplay, playing her piano, building a bookshelf or enjoying time with her partner, two dogs and two cats.
