About

Welcome to Autumn Blossom Coaching


Autumn Blossom Coaching is honored to support women who are ready to reflect on their careers and rediscover what truly matters for the next season of life.

Autumn is a unique and beautiful season — a time after the fullness of summer and before the stillness of winter. It offers space to appreciate all you’ve built while thoughtfully preparing for what comes next.
One of my greatest joys is growing dahlias. These extraordinary flowers thrive in the warmth of summer and reach their most magnificent bloom in late August and September. After the first frost, they are carefully lifted from the earth, cleaned, and stored away to rest — preparing for a vibrant return in the next season.

Each autumn, as I tend to them, I reflect on their beauty, resilience, and the possibilities waiting ahead.

As women, we often move quickly through life without pausing to consider what we truly want — personally, professionally, or within our communities. At Autumn Blossom Coaching, I help women honor the season they are in while intentionally designing the one ahead.

I’m Annette McBride, founder and president of Autumn Blossom Coaching. With more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals through career transitions and personal growth, I bring both compassion and evidence-based practices to my coaching. As an Industrial–Organizational Psychology practitioner and certified life coach, I use meaningful conversations and trusted assessment tools to help women discover clarity, confidence, and renewed purpose in their careers.

When I’m not coaching or gardening, you’ll find me enjoying time with my husband of 26 years, our amazing adult children, our lively house full of pets, and any opportunity to stretch my creative energy.

Do You Feel Stuck in Your Career?
Perhaps you finish each workday emotionally exhausted. Maybe you know you have more potential than your current role allows you to use. Or perhaps you wake up already feeling drained before the day even begins.

Now imagine moving through your career with confidence and purpose — knowing your work aligns with your strengths, values, and calling. Imagine using your gifts fully and waking up excited for the day ahead because you know you are exactly where you are meant to be.

I believe that when women recognize and validate their gifts and talents, it unlocks joy, energy, and fulfillment in their careers. It creates space to reflect on all they have accomplished while envisioning what could be next.

How I Help
Using reliable, evidence-based assessments focused on strengths, personality, and career interests, I help women uncover what they already know deep down to be true about themselves. From there, we create a path forward that allows them to dream bigger, move with confidence, and pursue meaningful work.

My background includes:
  • Certified Life Coach
  • Industrial–Organizational Psychology practitioner
  • Master’s degree from Harvard
  • More than 20 years in Human Resources focused on employee and leadership development
  • Supporting countless women in navigating career growth and transitions

You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars working with a large consulting firm — and you don’t have to continue struggling alone.
I invite you to schedule a free 30-minute consultation to explore whether individual or group coaching would be the best fit for you in this season of life.

Testimonials

Annette, founder, brain, and heart of Autumn Blossom Coaching, was an incredible lifeline during a period of very sudden professional change and growth. She helped me not only really look at my skills and experiences but also discern where my professional passion and drive came from and we were able to match those things up with career trajectory and meaningful actions to make it happen.

She came armed with genuine care and dedication to finding what worked for me and that softness and warmth was backed with incredible industry knowledge, pay insight, and data. Working with Annette and Autumn Blossom Coaching was illuminating, honest, and exactly what I needed to help me regain confidence, understand what drives me, and to gain the information and edge to get the position and path that I wanted.

I cannot recommend Autumn Blossom Coaching and Annette enough. If you are starting to reconsider your current career, are on a sudden and unexpected professional journey, or even if you just want some professional feedback to make sure you're still in the right place for you, Autumn Blossoms Coaching is who you should be working with.
