Within minutes of first meeting Angela, I knew she was the anchor I had been looking for. Travelling interstate to Sydney’s northern beaches for a full-day strategy session with her felt like a clear and grounded decision.

Angela often speaks about next chapters being built on skinned knees. That was certainly true for me. I came to our work together after a series of setbacks that had dented my energy and confidence, and I had been stuck for some time trying to articulate what I wanted my business to become.

Angela challenged and stretched my thinking, but never from too far ahead. Her guidance was both rigorous and compassionate. I left our strategy day with clarity, a personalised roadmap, and a renewed sense of belief in my skills, strengths, and ideas. She has a rare ability to translate insight into practical, achievable steps. I still remember sitting at the airport that evening thinking, “Did that really just happen?”

Not long after, life intervened in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. My next chapter had to evolve, pause, and change shape as my personal and professional circumstances shifted. What surprised me was how enduring the impact of Angela’s mentoring proved to be. The insights didn’t disappear when momentum slowed. They continued to inform how I worked, who I said yes to, and where I needed to draw clearer lines.

One of the most valuable aspects of our work together was Angela’s emphasis on sustainable goal setting. She helped me recognise how years of blurred boundaries as a sole trader had shaped my patterns of work and supported me to design a way forward that was both ambitious and sustainable.

Angela assisted me in articulating a positioning and service structure that reflects the depth of my work without oversimplifying it. But working with Angela has gone far beyond repositioning or marketing my business. With her guidance, I am now far more discerning about how I show up in my work, how I use my energy, and how I stay aligned with my values over time.

I have deeply appreciated Angela’s clarity, depth, generosity, and non-judgmental presence, as well as her willingness to work at the pace I needed. At times when certainty was thin, she helped put anchors in place. When momentum returned, she was alongside me, helping me introduce systems and structures that made the work feel manageable and intentional.

Angela is exceptionally generous in sharing her expertise and resources, including initiatives such as the Spark Series, a generous learning offering she has made freely available to others navigating their own next chapter.

Thanks to Angela, I now have genuine clarity about where I want to go and how I want to work. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, values-led strategic support as they shape what comes next.
