Progressive Pathways empowers you by creating space for growth with confidence, authenticity, and grace. Not having it all figured out only means there is opportunity to grow.
A few things we are great at

Our Founder
Hello. I’m Anita.
So much of what I’ve come to understand about the workplace and professional growth started at home. My mum and dad shaped me through faith, kindness, and courage. Now as I look back, I see how the support and grace they afforded me shaped my choices – even in the workplace. I was empowered to act in ways that were beneficial, without the pressure of having to measure up to external standards.
These lessons have reminded me of the importance of providing support to those who are seeking to make transformative changes. I am starting Progressive Pathways with this vision in mind. I look forward to supporting businesses and individuals seeking to make changes. I thrive when you thrive.
If you’re someone who wants to develop yourself in your personal or professional life, or a business looking to create a workplace that empowers, encourages, and retains its talent, I’d love to support you on your journey.

Shan
Executive
Being coached by Anita helped me realize that my issue wasn’t a loss of capability—it was a symptom of boreout. She gently uncovered the negative narrative I had internalized and reframed my disengagement as a valid coping mechanism rather than a personal flaw. This shift in perspective made me feel more positive and accepting of myself.
One of her most powerful outcomes was to focus on the victory rather than the struggle. Her sessions were warm, comfortable, and created a safe space to open up. Anita has a gift for identifying the core issue and guiding you to rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself. She doesn’t just coach—she transforms the way you see yourself.
Ken S.
C-suite Executive
Working with Anita was a genuinely transformative experience. From our very first session, I felt heard and understood. She has a remarkable ability to listen and ask the right questions, helping me dig deep into what was truly holding me back. Instead of just telling me what to do, Anita empowered me to find my own solutions. She helped me identify my strengths—things I hadn’t even realized were powerful assets—and together we developed practical, actionable strategies. It’s not just about setting goals; it’s about learning the tools to achieve them with compassion and self-awareness. If you’re looking for someone who will be your biggest advocate and guide you toward real, lasting change, I can’t recommend Anita enough. She doesn’t just coach you; she partners with you on your journey to a transformative change.
