Abigail K. Wenner

 Ms. Wenner helps her clients recognize that their brain controls everything they think, feel and achieve. She helps them to step back and wonder why at those moments when it is critical for them to make a quick decision or provide an innovative solution to a pressing problem, their brain goes blank and their ability to think cogently, eludes them? Or, why is it so difficult to suppress anger and fear when they are confronted by an adversary’s conflicting point of view? The good news is they are not alone and once an executive begins to understand the way in which their brain functions in relation to their thinking, emotions and feelings, they learn to utilize their brain in superior ways. 

Ms. Wenner has worked for over 15 years with Chief Executive Officers (CEO), senior executives, emerging leaders, governing boards and teams to develop leadership styles that become legacies to emulate. In addition to having advanced degrees in finance, neuroscience and leadership development, she is an ICF, PCC certified executive coach. Her distinctive and unique coaching combines business acumen, leadership development and precepts in neuroscience that assist her clients to expand their self-awareness and perceptions. Both these attributes are essential to overcome their hidden fears, improve their decision making and conquer their unrelenting demands. She guides them to create strategies that challenge their thinking about risk, loss and change and open the door for them to generate innovative ideas and create solutions to unforeseen or newly encountered roadblocks. In the process, her clients also improve their capacity to be a more collaborative and empathetic leader and communicator. 

What sets Ms. Wenner apart is her authentic, confidential and non-judgmental approach to her coaching that creates a rare rapport between her and her clients. Furthermore, her years working as a corporate executive in the investment banking world creates an additional bond because her clients recognize she can personally relate to their high-stake challenges, pressures, stress and fears. The result of Ms. Wenner’s firsthand knowledge of her client’s challenges, her rigorous training and expertise, and years of coaching senior executives to utilize their brain in superior ways, has helped Ms. Wenner formulate a unique and powerful coaching model.
