“Angela’s dynamic energy, personality and insights added so much to our Microsoft Inspire, our largest global partner event of the year. We have heard nothing, but a positive response from our events team. We appreciate her professionalism and time to ensure a smooth experience, and we absolutely look forward to working with her on future events!”-Microsoft
“Angela was a pleasure to work with and made our event a success. Her keynote left the audience inspired, energized and ready to explore a critical topic focused on championing women in leadership. She added so much value, both in the planning process and as a host/moderator and keynote speaker. Both our team members and those in the audience shared how much they appreciated her enthusiasm, energy and were inspired by her story. She was super helpful in shaping the event, set a perfect tone and ensuring our panelists were prepared and comfortable was an added bonus.” -Melissa Anderson, Michigan Ross School of Business/Gatesman
“Angela’s story, the wisdom of her words and the messages that she shared resonated with me and I know from all the personal notes that I received that they resonated with others on the PetSmart team. The feedback has been nothing short of amazing. She set up the week on such a powerful note. One of the most powerful notes I received:
“…I have never been so personally moved and touched by a speaker like I was this morning. I’m not ashamed to say I shed a couple of tears during the guided visualization portion. This may sound inorganic, but I could actually feel myself letting go of things that don’t serve me. “
From the moment we connected with Angela we could tell she understood exactly what we needed to accomplish. She has a strong core message, but worked with us to figure out exactly what our teams needed and partnered with us to tailor her keynote to make sure it resonated with our teams. While we were disappointed initially that our in-person event shifted to virtual, with Angela as our partner we created something even better that we would not have accomplished in a typical year.”-Mark Dompier, Belonging and Diversity-Pet Smart
We were sitting on the edges of our seats listening, hanging on your words and all left, with a huge smile. You guys exemplified what we know about best teams: you had a common purpose, played to your strengths in an environment of safety and trust.–Multinational Technology Corporation
