Anna Wildman has facilitated performance management skills workshops to thousands of managers and leaders in more than 40 countries, from China to Canada, Poland to Panama, the UAE to the USA.

It’s understanding what works (as well as what doesn't) in real-life conversations that has led her to write ‘Oil In The Engine: How to Lead Great Conversations at Work’. It provides simple frameworks and guidance, but most of all, gives practical examples of actual words to use. These can simply and easily be adapted to specific situations, saving time and increasing the confidence of people leaders everywhere.

Anna's previous experience includes ten years in the Royal Navy, followed by a senior role with Cathay Pacific Airways. She was most recently the Global Director for Learning and Development for KPMG, where she was responsible for the design and implementation of the global core skills curriculum for 140,000 people across more than 142 countries. Her past clients include Morgan Stanley, Skandia Investment, Invesco, Best Western Hotels, CSC, Standard Chartered Bank, the Economic Development Board of Bahrain and a number of UK and Hong Kong government bodies.
