Meet Ana Sánchez

I'm Ana Sánchez, PCC, CPCC, JD, LLM, with 17 years of coaching experience and a background in law, teaching, and professional education.

My teaching roots go back to Georgetown University Law Center, where I taught in a clinical law program and later returned as a Graduate Clinical Fellow, teaching clinical law students about the law and how to teach it to others. That experience shaped something that has stayed with me throughout my career: meaningful professional learning connects knowledge with real-world application.

I trained as a coach through the Co-Active Training Institute and JST Coaching & Training, and later returned to JST as a trainer, teaching and training coaches in the development of their core coaching competencies. Alongside my coaching practice, I have developed professional education for school counselors and continuing legal education programs for attorneys.

I also believe that if you teach, you have to keep being a student. Over the years, I have continued my professional development through training and study in ADHD and executive functioning, mindfulness, group coaching, DEIB, and neuroscience, including a neuroscience certification program through Neuroscience School with Dr. Irena O’Brien.

Across all of this work, I have remained interested in the same question:

How do we take what we know and make it useful in the moments when it matters?

Today, my work centers on The Brain-Informed Coach™, where I bring together brain science, executive function, self-determination, and strengths-based practice in a practical approach for coaches who want to go deeper without turning coaching into neuroscience or clinical work.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, strengths, client agency, and thoughtful, ethical coaching practice. I don't believe brain science should replace the coaching relationship.

It should deepen it.
