Strategic Advisory & Consulting
Work directly with Anese Cavanaugh, CEO of Active Choices, Inc. and founder of the Intentional Energetic Presence® (IEP) methodology, to access strategic leadership insights and expert advisory support.
Anese began her work over 30 years ago, dedicating herself to developing and refining the Intentional Energetic Presence® (IEP) methodology and the craft of energetics in culture, leadership, and performance.
Throughout her journey, she has developed several core frameworks, beliefs, principles, and ways of being that have amplified clients’ abilities to achieve solid results quickly and sustainably.
Anese’s expertise ranges from addressing large audiences on stages and teaching thousands to serving as an advisor on leadership, culture, and future-of-work initiatives to working more intimately with boardrooms, leadership teams, and executives.
She brings a blend of expertise in energy accountability, executive presence, business and people strategy, crisis management, conflict resolution, culture transformation, leadership development, behavior change, and more. She has worked with corporate, entrepreneurial, non-profit, and government sectors.
Her work has been found to amplify the ROI of other training and development initiatives, accelerate the performance of teams, reduce employee isolation and disconnection, improve engagement, and has even been cited for contributing to favorable wins in legal cases and jury trials.
Clients say Anese speaks “truth with effervescence” and is a “force for honest leadership.” She has a knack for making the intangibles of business and leadership tangible and a unique ability to transmute complex challenges and situations into wisdom, creative solutions, and successful outcomes.
She is devoted to unlocking and up-leveling the Intentional Energetic Presence® of humans and companies today, creating more human-centered awareness and capabilities, and amplifying the impact potential of optimizing and directing the energy of today’s workforce. Her approach is honest, effective, and custom-designed to meet clients and partners where they’re at.
In addition to working with leaders and their organizations, she believes deeply in growing women leadership and giving back. Special projects have included serving as an advisor and contributor to Youth Guidance Programs (BAM), the US Navy & Johns Hopkins (Sailor Resiliency), Virgin Unite (South Africa and Women’s Leadership), and Education.
Any advisory work she does with you can be supported by her organization’s coaching and training programs which can scale as needed to bring this work to your team and workforce.
