Meet Annie. Where Strategy Meets Soul.

Annie Frisoli is the Founder & CEO of Creating Community LLC, author of Leadership by Design, and national keynote speaker, culture strategist, and leadership trainer. Annie helps organizations ignite leadership and elevate culture through bold experiences that move people from insight to action.

 

Annie's love of adult education and development comes from her nearly 20 years experience as an award-winning university faculty member.  After exiting higher education, Annie focused her passion for professional development into building leadership and culture curriculum and initiatives for teams that range from government agencies to Fortune 500 companies.  Annie arrives to organizations with an array of knowledge and keeps herself relevant by holding certifications in 360 Degree Leadership Assessments, Working Genius, and Design Thinking, to ensure she brings both depth and delight to every room she leads.

 

Her work is fueled by a love for people and adventure - some of her most notable adventures include having designed ecotourism development strategies in rural Ecuador to support the growth of small communities, building comprehensive culture initiatives for major park and recreation departments, facilitating year long leadership development curriculum for Gold Medal winning agencies, making impact on statewide conferences as a keynote speaker - and let's not forget - she served as the first International Ambassador of the Canadian Hi-Five Run.  All in all, Annie believes leadership should feel more like an expedition than a checklist and enjoys working alongside others as they walk the trail of their leadership journey.

 

When Annie is offstage or not engaging with teams, she is a proud wife, daughter, sister, cousin, best friend, hiker, biker, and happy wanderer (meaning she loves a good road trip). And finally, just know this about Annie, whether she’s designing leadership journeys or exploring new ones herself, Annie shows up with humor, heart, and a deep belief that great leadership changes lives.
