Anne Palmer

Anne Palmer was born in Houston, Texas as the first-born daughter of five children to trail-blazing parents. She shares the profound principles she learned from her Tuskegee Airman father and Head-Start teacher-trainer mother.

Professionally her career has been stellar in many arenas--as an international model, Emmy-award-winning talk show host for women's collegiate basketball, an AAHSA National Fellow in aging services, as well as the founding non-profit CEO of the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan Counties. And now as a world-class leadership & communication trainer.

Anne's passion is communicating messages that matter and have meaning in ways that empower others. Her wisdom is drawn from having survived seven concurrent major life crises--including a near-death battle with viral meningitis.

She artfully melds her gifts of storytelling, poetry and ability to get others to share their stories of triumphing over adversity. The result of an experience with Anne's work is that you learn how to manage the three influencers--PB&Js™-- Perceptions, Beliefs and Judgments, that either trap you or empower you to claim our greatness.
