Anna Allerton, Founder & Executive Coach at Allerton Coaching & Consulting, helps people identify their potential, build confidence and achieve their goals. Passionate about building a supportive and empowering workplace environment for women, Anna builds upon her 20 year long corporate career as Journalist & TV Producer at Sky, to educate businesses on how to create workplace culture that is conducive to wellbeing of their female employees. Now available to hire as a keynote speaker as well, Anna speaks on female empowerment, menopause, workplace culture and diversity & inclusion.

Anna’s career began as a TV Marketing Assistant for the 2004 Wimbledon Championships. From there, Anna joined Sky Sports News – an organisation she dedicated 17 years of her career to. Serving in various roles such as Sub-Editor, Assistant Producer, News Editor and finally Global Head of Internal Communications at Sky Sports News, Anna was the mind behind the Sportswomen Programme as its Founder & Producer. She also led the Special Journalism Unit at Sky Sports News, where she changed the landscape of women’s sports on screen. For her success as a pioneer of the women’s sports journalism space, Anna was listed in Management Today’s 35 Under 35 list – a testament to her prominence as an industry leader.

Anna’s career transformation from media and journalism to executive coaching stemmed from a personal incident. At 38, Anna started experiencing perimenopausal symptoms but did not find doctors who would take her seriously given her age, therefore not treated for her condition correctly. But Anna soon realised that there were several other women who were also experiencing a similar situation, not just in health scenarios but in their careers – where their opinions and thoughts were discounted as “not serious”. And thus began her journey to understand how women can be supported in the workplace in the UK. Today, Anna is a triple accredited trained and certified Executive Coach who is helping women maintain and flourish in their careers during Perimenopause and Menopause. She is also a contributor to the “Myths of Menopause” book that is set to be published in late 2024.

Anna gives women the tools they require to take back charge of their life and live fulfilling, happy lives. Through her work, her passion for empowering and supporting women is evident. Anna has worked with a myriad of businesses, giving them the education and tools necessary to support their female employees. Anna’s expertise has often been called upon at events for the Clerkenwell Design Week and No Time To Step Back event, where she shares her first-hand experiences as well as industry experience in creating inclusive workplace culture.
