And Annie Hyman Pratt knows how to build teams that drive results.

The people part of business is arguably the most important part . . . and with Annie’s help, you can have an amazing team working together to achieve the results you want.”

— Joe Polish, founder of Genius Network

“The first time I heard Annie speak about leadership and team building was a near-mystical experi- ence for me. I immediately knew that I needed her help to grow the functionality of my team. That was nearly a decade ago, and since then Annie has had a profound positive impact on my business. Now she’s finally put her wisdom and practical approach into a book, and The People Part delivers. It starts with the first principles that most every other leadership book glosses over. This is a nutri- ent-dense book that will show you how to build a responsive and productive team.”

— Jeff Walker, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Launch

“Annie’s groundbreaking work in the area of team and leadership development helped our business undergo a remarkable transformation from one that Jim Collins would describe as ‘A genius with a thousand helpers’ to one led by a highly collaborative, incredibly cohesive team of senior leaders. Simply put: If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, or leader in your company, read this book. It will transform your business—and possibly even change your life—forever.”

and #1 national best-selling author

“I’ve relied on Annie Hyman Pratt’s guidance every step of the way to build my business. The tools and methodologies captured in this book allowed me to step away from day-to-day operations and focus on high-level strategy, while empowering my team to play at their best and get recognized for it. We are now both a thriving organization and a successful company and we have Annie to thank.”

— Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Bright Line Eating

ABOUT ANNIE HYMAN PRATT

Annie Hyman Pratt’s mastery is developing leaders, teams and infrastructure that drives business growth—so entrepreneurs can do the strategic and creative parts while also having the time, freedom, and positive impact they desire. She founded the consulting and training company Leading Edge Teams based on her unique, decades-long experience as both a successful C-level executive and a highly sought-after business adviser. Leading Edge Teams provides entrepreneurial companies training and executive coaching in groups and one-on-one, online and in person. They have an unparalleled track record of helping businesses achieve massive, sustainable, team-driven growth.

Annie started her business education around the dinner table, hearing her mother and father talk about their business, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Annie worked behind the bean counter in her teen years and then went to college at nearby UCLA, where she graduated with a degree in Economics/Business. She then worked with one of the prestigious Big 8 accounting firms in Los Angeles, doing business valuations and becoming a certified public accountant. Her solid grasp of accounting and finance was a key advantage throughout her career.

At age 22, Annie took the reins and became the CEO of her family business. A trailblazer for women in business, she more than 10X’d the business to 70-plus stores, and then led the company through a highly successful sale.

After the sale of The Coffee Bean, Annie moved into interim C-suite executive work and top-tier business consulting. She became an expert in guiding companies through rapid growth and complex turnarounds while working within diverse industries. Annie’s experience with so many different types of entrepreneurial businesses is especially rare, giving her a unique understanding of what it takes to succeed and how The People Part plays a greater role than ever.

Annie’s specialty in The People Part was further cultivated through her study at the University of Santa Monica, where she learned what it really takes for human beings to transcend their “quick to judge” and self-protective nature and instead work together to reach their full potential.

Whatever challenges you may be facing in your business, Annie has likely already seen them—and solved them.

Some of Annie’s current and past clients include high-level entrepreneurs and businesses like:

Jeff Walker (Product Launch Formula), Fatburger, MOCEAN (a creative entertainment company that works with Disney, Sony, Warner Brothers, Netflix, Amazon, and other studios) , Dave Asprey (Bulletproof Coffee), Stu McLaren (North Results), Susan Pierce Thompson (Bright Line Eating), Ryan Levesque (ASK Method) and Reid Tracy (Hay House).
