ABOUT THE NAME

A LESSON FROM ARCHERY:

What is an Anchor Point?     

The definition of an anchor point is this: a point on an archer's face (such as the chin) against which the drawing hand is placed in order to stabilize the archer's aim before release of the arrow.  (Merriam-Webster)   

At Anchor and Aim, we believe that reliable, balanced, and consistent work comes from a place of being grounded.  We believe in the pause before the aim, the intention behind the action.

Gina started Anchor and Aim Coaching in 2019 with the vision of providing support for people doing challenging and life-changing work. She holds tremendous respect for the work people do, and it brings her great joy to facilitate a renewed sense of purpose and resilience in the people she coaches.
