APPROACH
Angela offers 1-1 coaching and mentoring, drawing on her own past and current experience of working in organisations. She provides a mixture of challenge and support in a structured environment. Angela is very committed to working with people to understand their issues and supporting them to find a way through. She completed a coaching and mentoring accredited ILM training programme in 2019 and since then has constantly practiced with a wide range of senior people.
PERSONAL
Angela is a keen walker with a particular love of Northumberland. Her Sealyham Terrier Gryff rules the roost and has her wrapped around his little paw. She discovered genealogy during Covid and has spent some time trying to link her family with royalty; this search remains outstanding and is likely to end in disappointment! Angela loves current affairs and is an interested observer of politics.
