Hi, I’m Angela
Work isn't supposed to just look good on paper. It's supposed to feel like yours. That's what I help people figure out, using neuroscience-informed coaching alongside real, honest conversation, so the insights you uncover actually turn into action.
I spent 20 years in senior HR roles across post-secondary, non-profit, and private sectors before building this practice as an entrepreneur myself, so I've sat on both sides of the table, the one making career decisions, and the one supporting other people through theirs. I hold an MBA from Saint Mary's University, a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching, and the ACC credential from the International Coaching Federation, with additional training in emotional intelligence, neuroscience-based coaching, and Brené Brown's Dare to Lead™ framework.
Since starting this work, I've supported more than 100 clients across executive, leadership, professional, and technical roles. Some landed a new role. Others launched consulting practices, started businesses, went back to school, or built something that didn't have a name yet when they started. Whatever "next" looked like for them, that's what we worked toward.
I bring care, presence, and a trauma-informed respect for complexity to every conversation. No judgment, no script, just space to think clearly about what actually matters to you.
Coaching the Whole You
Your career doesn’t stand alone — it’s shaped by your experiences, beliefs, and the way your brain and body respond to stress and change. Coaching the whole person means looking beyond résumés and job titles to understand what truly drives you.
Using neuroscience-based tools and strategies, I help you uncover patterns in how you think, feel, and act — so you can navigate challenges with resilience and move toward the future you want.
Together, we’ll co-create a career path that’s aligned with your values and strengths, while building the energy and focus you need to show up fully at work. This isn’t just about landing the next role; it’s about creating lasting growth and a career that feels like yours. If you’re looking for a Canadian career coach online or seeking career coaching anywhere in Canada, I’d love to work with you.
