Hi, I’m Anette White

Founder, The A.C.T.I.O.N. Framework

Dedicated to ensuring women are never stuck, silenced, or unseen at work

Over a decade working with senior executives, emerging leaders, and cross-functional teams

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve helped clients:

Communicate clearly and confidently in high-stakes meetings
Reduce overthinking and manage anxiety before important conversations
Shift from imposter syndrome to grounded self-trust and presence
Navigate promotions, role changes, and career pivots with clarity
Increase visibility, influence, and respect with senior leadership

My A.C.T.I.O.N. Framework has helped clients:

Build a confident leadership identity rooted in self-trust
Turn inner clarity into concise, impactful communication
Create strategic 90-day plans for career advancement
Develop daily leadership habits that reduce self-doubt
Feel prepared, composed, and respected in rooms that matter most

I believe the keys to lasting change come from strengthening your identity and inner confidence, elevating communication and executive presence, and developing a clear strategy that supports sustained leadership growth.

Let me show you how to release doubt and imposter syndrome so you can speak with authority, elevate your presence, and own the room.

Would you like me to help you go from quietly overthinking every meeting to feeling like a grounded, confident leader in just 12 weeks?

What if I told you there’s a way to step into leadership with clarity and confidence without becoming someone you’re not or “faking it until you make it”?

A way that helps you communicate clearly, be taken seriously by senior leaders, and advance your career — even if you’ve struggled with self-doubt, anxiety in meetings, or feeling like you don’t fully belong in the role.

You’ve probably tried working harder, overpreparing for every conversation, staying late to “prove” your value, or staying quiet in meetings to avoid mistakes, but still find yourself lying awake at night replaying what you wish you’d said.

I get it. I’ve been there. And I’ve helped many high-achieving women in transition find a better, more sustainable way to lead.

The real transformation happens when you:

Shift from perfectionism and self-criticism to grounded self-trust

Learn simple frameworks to speak clearly under pressure

Align your daily actions with the leader you are becoming

This is the process I guide my clients through every day - and it’s what I’d love to walk you through in your free session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for?

This is for ambitious women who are navigating career transitions or stepping into new or expanded leadership roles and feel the weight of increased visibility. You’re smart, capable, and good at what you do, but you struggle to articulate your value, advocate for yourself, or speak with confidence in rooms that matter. You may experience anxiety before meetings, replay conversations at night, or worry that hesitation will be seen as lack of skill. You’re ready for a more grounded, confident way of leading.

How long is the program?

The core A.C.T.I.O.N. Leadership Framework program is a 12-week journey. Over three months, we move through structured phases: awareness and self-discovery, clarity and leadership identity, confidence rebuilding, executive communication, career strategy, and integration. You’ll start noticing shifts in how you think, speak, and show up within the first few weeks, with deeper, lasting changes building over the full 12 weeks.

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching, not therapy. While we may briefly explore your past to understand patterns like perfectionism or fear of failure, our focus is on who you are becoming as a leader and what you want to create next. We work with practical tools, communication frameworks, and mindset strategies to help you lead more confidently at work. Therapy is often about healing; coaching is about growth, forward movement, and taking intentional action.

What kind of results can I expect?

Clients typically experience less anxiety before meetings, more clarity when speaking with senior leaders, and a stronger sense of self-trust in their decisions. You can expect to have clear language to describe your value, practical scripts and frameworks for key conversations, a personalized 90-day leadership and career plan, and daily habits that support your confidence. Many women report feeling more visible, respected, and aligned with the leader they know they can be.

How much time does it take each week?

Expect to invest around 60–90 minutes per week. This includes your coaching session (weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your plan) and a small amount of reflection or implementation work between sessions. The work is designed to integrate into your existing role — applying what you learn directly to real meetings, conversations, and decisions you’re already facing, so it feels supportive rather than like “one more thing” on your plate.

What if I’m not sure I’m ready?

It’s very normal to feel uncertain, especially if you’re used to handling everything on your own or feel you should “already know” how to lead. The free Confident Leadership Clarity Call is a no-pressure space to explore what you’re experiencing, what you want instead, and whether this approach feels like the right fit. There’s no obligation to continue. Sometimes the bravest step in leadership is simply raising your hand and saying, “I’m ready for support.”
