Prior to starting AG Coaching & Consulting, Angela served as the Vice President of Learning and Development for a family of companies that focused on hospitality, real estate and development. In this time, Angela gained an understanding of the in-depth challenges teams face in a fast-paced, high-demand world, and the impact this level of stress can have on a team over time. Her four years in this role largely focused on leadership development, training, executive coaching, and executive board facilitation. In every case, Angela took a people-first approach, making a lasting impact on individuals and the organization as a whole.
Today, Angela delivers executive coaching, team optimization sessions and keynotes on Truth, Trust and Transformative Communication; if underperforming in any one of these areas, a team will fail. There’s a dance that takes place when all of these are working like a well-oiled machine, and it’s beautiful. And when they’re not, it negatively impacts the health, productivity, collaboration and success of the team.
Blending her years of work at Essential Health & Wellness with her expertise in leadership development, Angela helps teams identify what’s wrong, and fix it … all in an inspiring, empowering way. Teams achieve more when there’s clarity, a strong and supportive culture, and efficient and productive processes. This is what Angela will help you and your team accomplish, and they will soar! It’s quite simple in fact, and all ties back to Truth, Trust and Transformative Communication.
Angela has an extensive background that encompasses her work in corporate roles, as well as running her own business for 13 years to include coaching, consulting, speaking, sales, training, people management, project management and has served in Vice President-level roles in sales and business development as well as learning & development. She brings all of it to the table when working with clients; she’s direct, relatable and genuinely cares about the health and success of the people she serves. Angela’s personal story drives her passion and care for others; she overcame an illness that she was told would take her life when she was just 36 years old. Angela inspires and brings great energy to every keynote, team optimization session and 1:1 coaching session she conducts.
