Anna Allerton is an EMCC Global Accredited Executive Coach, keynote speaker and founder of Allerton Coaching & Consulting. She partners with organisations across the UK and internationally to help them retain, develop and empower female talent by creating healthier, more inclusive workplaces.
Her work focuses on one of the most important yet often overlooked areas of workplace inclusion: supporting women through the transition from maternity to menopause. By helping leaders and organisations better understand these life stages, Anna enables businesses to strengthen employee wellbeing, improve retention and create environments where women can continue to grow, contribute and lead.
Every keynote combines evidence-based insights, practical tools and authentic storytelling, giving audiences the confidence and knowledge to take meaningful action long after the event has ended.
Before founding Allerton Coaching & Consulting, Anna spent 20 years building a successful corporate career, including 17 years as a Journalist and TV Producer at Sky. During that time, she experienced first-hand how perimenopause can affect confidence, performance and career progression.
That personal experience became the catalyst for a new professional direction. Today, Anna works with organisations to help ensure that talented women do not feel forced to step back from their careers because of challenges that can be understood, supported and managed more effectively.
Her unique combination of corporate experience, executive coaching expertise and lived experience enables her to connect with audiences in a way that is relatable, credible and highly practical.
Anna specialises in helping organisations understand the changing needs of women throughout their working lives. Rather than treating maternity, menopause and women's health as isolated topics, she encourages organisations to take a long-term view of talent development and employee wellbeing.
Her work helps businesses:

Anna's keynote presentations are designed to leave audiences informed, inspired and ready to take action. She blends the latest evidence with practical workplace strategies and honest personal stories, creating sessions that are engaging, relatable and immediately applicable.
Rather than focusing solely on awareness, Anna provides clear frameworks and practical tools that leaders, managers and employees can use within their own organisations.
She is also the creator of the Work Smarter in Menopause™ coaching framework, which supports women in navigating menopause while maintaining confidence, wellbeing and career momentum.
Whether speaking to HR professionals, leadership teams, employee networks or conference audiences, Anna creates conversations that are open, constructive and solution-focused.
Alongside her coaching and speaking work, Anna contributes to the wider conversation around women's health, leadership and career development through a range of influential roles.

These experiences provide Anna with a broad perspective on leadership, governance, workplace culture and organisational change, strengthening the practical relevance of every keynote she delivers.
Organisations increasingly recognise that supporting women throughout every stage of their careers is essential for attracting, retaining and developing talent. Anna Allerton helps turn that recognition into practical action.
Her keynote presentations challenge assumptions, encourage meaningful conversations and provide realistic strategies that organisations can implement immediately. Audiences leave with a greater understanding of women's health in the workplace, stronger confidence in supporting colleagues and a renewed commitment to creating workplaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Whether addressing senior leaders, HR professionals, employee resource groups or conference audiences, Anna delivers engaging, evidence-based keynote presentations that make a lasting impact on both individuals and organisations.
