As a senior executive, I've faced numerous challenges in my career, but working with Angela has been a game-changer. She helped me discover how to truly own my power and challenge many of the preconceived notions I had about myself and my leadership style. The transformation has been incredible. I’ve gained newfound confidence, especially when presenting to key stakeholders.
What stands out most is her calm and thoughtful approach. She had an uncanny ability to guide me through complex situations with clarity and poise, helping me navigate the pressures of my role with a new mindset. Her deep industry insights have been invaluable, offering me perspectives that have enriched both my leadership and strategic decision-making.

Courtesy of Angela's powerful listening skills, and deft ability to know when to probe deeper, we focused through the sessions on being more intentional with my external presence. I identified and processed two particular challenges with her:
1) I recognized through the sessions that past self-sabotaging experiences had to do with a belief that "I don't belong here" when surrounded by talent with a different background and education. I learned to value my blue-collar background and unique journey for the asset that it is;
2) My speed and intellect are an asset, and my energy can be overwhelming. Approaching key engagements with calm first will help me meet the audience where it is at and enable me to maximize impact.
The understanding I developed on both of these fronts have helped me build more productive Board and key stakeholder engagements, and have enabled me to get more joy from what I do particularly in key, high pressure moments.

Working with Angela was truly transformative, both personally and professionally. During a pivotal and challenging time in my life, her coaching provided the clarity, confidence, and support I needed to step into my own power.
One of my biggest struggles was constantly prioritizing others’ needs over my own, finding it difficult to say no and hesitating to stand in my truth. Angela created a safe, supportive space for me to explore these patterns with honesty and curiosity. Her insightful and intuitive questions challenged me to reflect deeply and helped me shift my mindset and behaviors in a meaningful way.
The most valuable aspect of our coaching was her ability to guide me toward my own answers rather than offering quick fixes. She empowered me to recognize my own strength, set boundaries with confidence, and make decisions that align with my values and goals. Because of our work together, I navigate challenges with greater self-assurance and balance.
I am incredibly grateful for Angela’s wisdom, patience, and guidance.

I had been narrowly focused and overly anchored on my experience with Google and the coaching relationship allowed me to re-center on what I was interested in agnostic of the environment and just focus on building skills and relationships in the space and letting the chips fall where they may.
I was able to get out of my head about and take actionable seps aligned with my interest areas and its been good! And I'm owning the "C" - love that!

I worked with Angela when I was in a job transition and needed help with confidence and clarity. Angela's perspective and questions were invaluable. As a result of coaching, I was able to relax and actually enjoy the job search and interview process, and landed in a great spot.
