Here are some nice things that clients and colleagues are saying about me.
Ana is, quite simply, the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. She is a solid writer and a nimble thinker. She’s extremely efficient and organized; hard-working and tough – yet warm and personable. She boosted the productivity and professionalism of my staff, and never said no to extra work. I would hire her again — and again — in a heartbeat.
I would describe the biography experience as enlightening, cathartic, decadent, and thrilling. This was an amazing opportunity to have a total pro tell my story in a way that I’ve never been able to. Ana was incredibly easy to work with, and made me feel comfortable and open from the moment she stepped into my home. She dug into the details of my life, and I felt respected and cared for the entire time. I loved the process even more than I could have imagined.
Wow! It feels like Ana knows me better than I know myself. I was super impressed with the way that she took words from my mouth to create website copy that conveyed the message I wanted to share with my clients. Working with her clarified the way I brand my business.
Hiring the kick-ass Ana Ottman is making a world of difference in the grand-even-if-12-months-late launch of my website. It turns out that instead of berating myself and doing stuff I hate, this has allowed me to focus on what I love: the BIG picture, strategy, ideas, and inspiring my team!
Ana created impressive project management systems, designed inspiring meetings, and was able to think steps ahead. I directly credit her with ushering in a new era for my organization.
Ana helped me to develop a business concept that I adore and that taps into my interests and abilities in a way nothing else has. Talking to her is like chatting with an old friend – only a friend with the insights, and skills to partner with you in creating a business!
Curiosity was what initially drew me in to have Ana write my biography. I’m constantly re-writing mine and include it in almost everything I disseminate to the public. Ana nailed who I am at my core. I was surprised by how much I learned about myself. Talking out loud revealed aspects of my business that needed further investigation, inspired me to create bigger goals, and made me rethink how I work.
Opening the package with my biography in a bound book brought me to tears. I never thought of myself as much of a subject beyond a soundbite. Ana’s perceptive questions were a wonderful surprise, and her kindness and relaxed disposition made me instantly comfortable. I have this fantasy of slipping the book into my future daughter’s suitcase when she leaves home.
Ana is such a positive, world-changing woman. Her vision is unique and refreshing—and it will forever change the way you think about your business.
From a designer’s standpoint, my biggest need is to be able to work hand-in-hand with a writer. If something needed to be rewritten or shortened, Ana never varied or flinched. She tackled every project with integrity and drive to come up with the best copy to satisfy everyone involved.
Ana worked in a fast-paced, high pressure team where the deadlines came fast and furious. She was able to manage multiple projects with tight timelines. The job also required stringent attention to detail. Ana rose to the occasion in all of these aspects!
You have these dreams and goals for your business. You may not have spoken them aloud to anyone, but you know within a measure of a doubt that you want them to actualize. Ana is a dream-catcher.
Ana is diligent, flexible, and reliable. I could depend on her to conduct complex writing and analysis, including projects that were legal in nature.
