Testimonials

“Anna Foster lead several breakout sessions for approximately 200 at Leadership in Action, a South Shore Chamber Sponsored annual event, held at Curry College. Her focus was "A Successful You" and led us through the top 10 things to do and think about as they move through their career. You did a great job Anna! You can do anything!”
Martie DwyerSenior Vice President, Citizen’s Bank
“Conexión had the pleasure of working with Anna Foster over the last couple of years. The personal branding session she created and facilitated for Conexión really got the cohort thinking and reflecting on some important issues. Individually and hopefully collectively they came to a deeper senses of the importance of brand. At Conexión, we hope to impact the larger dialogue of the contributions that Hispanics make – an asset vs. a deficit. Anna’s branding session provided an opportunity to think about here we present ourselves in all the facets of our lives. I admire Anna’s entrepreneurial spirit and she serves as a great role model to our participants. Conexión is thankful for Anna’s generous support of our mission.”
Phyllis BarajasConexión, Founder & Chief Executive Officer
“She’s passionate about youth and organizations that are helping youth. She’s definitely a person that I will ask to be mentor to some of the young girls in the MOVE, Inc. program. I highly recommend Anna for any speaking engagements for youth or women especially focused around leadership, branding, and overcoming obstacles. She did a fabulous job at our symposium and gave the youth an awesome outlook on how to be a confident leader.”
Patricia Timmons, M.EdSpeaker, College Advisory and Workshop Facilitator
“The Greater Boston Sickle Cell Disease Association requested that Anna host our 10th Annual 5K Walk, Sickle Celebration In the Park, as well as our Red Ribbon Gala (Celebrating 20 years). Anna’s participation, at both of the events brought a certain level or awareness to the organization’s events and she exceeded our expectation! She is a pleasure to work with and we are extremely grateful to have her as a friend of GBSCDA!”

Delectable Desires Pastries is an Affiliate of AMW since Feb 2016. Prior to us joining, we did not have much social media interactions, we did not participate in networking events and did very little marketing. Since becoming an Affiliate, the changes have been amazing. AMW was immediately able to pinpoint where and what we needed to focus on to build Delectable Desires Pastries into a Brand. They started building our social media presence, marketing our holiday specials, building our custom cake clientele, and implemented a marketing strategy for upcoming events such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. We now have customers who went from not knowing we existed to the place to get custom cakes and special occasion gifts. AMW helped us get corporate clients such as The Bottom Line where we provided a special custom cake for one of the top executives. The educational piece that AMW also provides while helping to build your brand is what makes this business model unique. Anna Foster has the ability to see the bigger picture with each individual business because she understands the retail market and what it take to make a business grows from all angles.

The work that Anna does within her A Maven's World - Affiliate Program is certainly career (life) changing. Anna focuses on what is 'real' for her, which is making strong and lasting connections with business owners and entrepreneurs, preparing them for what may lie ahead for them as their business develops. What is truly remarkable is that Anna will provide her knowledge and experience in a way that allows you to implement some of these guidelines into your own business model. Anna 'grinds' for her affiliates, offering a wide exchange of business relationships, resources, and job opportunities. Working within her program and with her affiliates gives you a confidence about the superior standard of quality, work ethic, and professionalism you will experience. Do not waste your money/time investing in these 'bigger' social networks when it does not pay off for you or your business. Work with someone who believes in your success and will assist in guiding you towards it - Anna Foster!

Anna was our keynote speaker at the launch of The Center for Women and Enterprise's - Women of Color Business Summit in October 2020. Anna was spot on in working with me and the CWE team to make sure that the kick off to this inaugural event was inspiring, relevant, and actionable. I loved Anna's energy, passion, and follow-through! I am still getting positive feedback from her Keynote address from those that attended. Thank you Anna!
