"Angela is a visionary. She strives for continuous improvement and reminds you of where change could be beneficial. If I was ever in any doubt, Angela was able to remind me that people are the key and that nothing changes without people alongside. Angela formed strong relationships with people at all levels of the organisation.
Angela brought the concept of a bespoke leadership and personal growth programme to my Executive Leadership Team in 2019. The programme proved hugely successful in developing and growing leaders at all levels in the organisation.
Angela was always very good at understanding the mood of the staff and providing opportunities to align staff and management. She helped us to grow an organisation where people were central, diversity is embraced and where culture and values drive performance.”
Gavin Ion | Chief Executive (to February 2025) | Te Kaunihera aa Takiwaa o Waikato | Waikato District Council
“Angela was a phenomenal facilitator for our sold-out panel event, guiding the conversation with warmth, kindness, and a natural ease that made the panelists feel like they were simply chatting among friends—despite the 200-strong audience. Her thoughtful approach ensured a seamless and engaging discussion, creating a truly memorable experience for everyone in the room.
Beyond the event itself, Angela went above and beyond by thoroughly researching and preparing the panellists, setting them up for success. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees praising her presence and requesting that we invite her back.
On a personal level, I’ve had the privilege of working with Angela as my leadership coach over a 12-month period. Her ability to create a space for honest reflection and growth allowed me to embrace challenges, step into discomfort, and truly recognise myself as a leader. Her guidance has been instrumental in shaping the leader I am today, and I cannot recommend her highly enough—both as a facilitator and as a coach.”
