Cultivating Human Skills for the Future of Work

“Angie is a phenomenal leader, full of heart, empathy and vision. She’s also an incredibly generous leader who has devoted her career to empowering others, especially women. She uses her considerable energy and power to make the world better, and we all benefit.”

"Angie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She did a great job training our students.
She was exceptional at hitting the balance between making people feel safe and at the same time drawing people out and helping them to engage even on difficult subjects. She was also well-organized, responsive, and great to work with on all the behind the scenes arrangements."

“Angie has been working with our organization for several years now, and our work is stronger for it. She brings her servant's leadership style into her education and empowerment work with our women. The workshop Angie facilitates for the New Opportunity School for Women is one of the most powerful courses offered in our residential program. Our participants come away with new insights into ways to view their personal stories. Angie assists with moving the focus off defining ourselves based on our limitations and replaces that view with an asset-based lens for growth. She's an amazing person doing amazing work!”

"I appreciate her genuine concern not only for the community she resides in but the whole of our society. She is very adept in drawing the connections and intersections that tie us all together."

"Angie is an absolute joy to work with. She is motivated and has a way of inspiring those around her. She is truly a force." 

"She did a great job training our students. She was exceptional at hitting the balance between making people feel safe and at the same time drawing people out and helping them to engage even on difficult subjects."

"Her creativity and patience are impressive. Her facilitation is innovative and cultivates an atmosphere where participants feel comfortable sharing their vulnerabilities so that they are really able to absorb what is being taught and grow from the experience."

"In today's argument culture it is no small thing to ask students to talk about difficult issues. To do so will take an educator who is compassionate, skilled, and discerning. Oh yeah, humor helps as well. All of those are true of Angie. I've watched her for three years gain the trust of diverse students to open themselves to topics that dominate the headlines. Not only have students learned, but I have as well!"

"Is the Work Sustainable?

We can set agendas and move items forward without understanding what is motivating people to make the decisions or take the positions they take. This training allows us to understand the person and put the conversations in context. We know one another so much better and able to communicate even when we do not agree."

"Students have shared how they were able to actualize these skills in conflict resolution in the classroom and in other settings on campus. Our advisory board uses the check-in process, common rules, and some of the strategies for keeping our purpose at the center of our conversations. "

"I have known and worked with Angie for the better portion of 20 years. I have implemented leaning into authentic and intentional community building."

"Angie is the kind of leader I aspire to be. She leads with genuine love and warmth and her perspective allows her to connect with diverse audiences. Her advocacy for those who often are left voiceless inspires me to embrace discomfort and do the "hard thing" because it's the "right thing" for me to do."
