"And gratitude to my foundational book coach - none other than Ann Sheybani. Ann, as you well know, you're highly efficient, "here's how you get it done" coach. As long as it took me, I followed the map - even though I took an extended break - but essentially I credit your book "How to Eat The Elephant" and your coaching approach."

— Mozella Perry Ademiluyi, author of RISE! Lean Within Your Inner Power & Wisdom

 "When I first met Ann it was via phone. I wanted to see if she was the right book coach for me.  Boy, was I unprepared and surprised. How could someone who looks so lovely in her photo swear like a sailor and push me to unapologetically answer all her direct questions? Had I missed some sidebar on her website that said something along the lines of  “Ann is a ballbuster who doesn’t suffer fools gladly”? In the time we’ve worked together, I’ve found Ann to have a rare combination of being a compassionate nurturing friend and not putting up with my BS. There have been numerous times I’ve tried shelving my book. I can be pretty convincing and Ann sees right through it.  In 3 words, ‘she gets it’!— Dr. Serena Sterling, author of Pain: A Love Story

"I’ve always felt the need to tell my story, but fear, insecurity and the daunting process held me back for years. Then I met Ann. Her ability to find and project my voice, help me organize my stories and handle sensitive content with care and compassion is a rare gift and I can’t imagine completing my book with anyone else." --Michelle Cully, author of High Heels in the Laundry Room
