Testimonials

— Grant McLaughlin,

Executive Vice President of HudsonLake 

 “Angie’s client service is in a league of its own. I’ve enjoyed working with her across multiple sectors, organizations, and geographic contexts and celebrated her success as she was honored with Booz Allen Hamilton’s highest client service award.

Angie led transformation efforts for a wide range of initiatives for national nonprofits, private sector companies, start-up international development consortiums, and multi-agency efforts across the US and foreign governments.

She has an innate ability to relate to clients and is gifted at connecting with people (from front- line staff to C-Suite), driving organizational capacities (from start-up to mature), and understanding cultural contexts (from global south to north and eastern to western). While she adapts her style and approaches to meet clients where they are, she remains consistent in her commitment to client success and delivery excellence.”

—  Sean Litton, Executive Director of Technology Coalition and former President of International Justice Mission 

“Angie provided strategic planning support for International Justice Mission as we were dreaming about where we wanted to be in the next 15 years. She quickly grasped where we were at in our overlapping planning cycles, embraced the essence of our hopes for the future, understood our culture, and led us in a clear process for engaging over 60 diverse global staff in further envisioning our goals and strategic options. 

An incredible partner for senior executives, Angie can quickly discern the complex organization challenges and opportunities they face and create clear paths forward, all way ensuring alignment. With a winsome personality, she effectively draws in and partners with diverse stakeholders, creates processes and experiences to get them energized and engaged, and facilitates groups to achieve clearly defined outcomes.”

— Jesse Casler,

Chief Operating Officer of HOPE International  

    "Angie provided much needed organizational and cultural analysis critical for driving organizational improvement at HOPE International. She conducted three year-trend analysis of our organization’s Best Christian Workplaces (BCWP) data, identified current strengths and opportunities for improvement, and designed and facilitated 10 focus groups to secure employee perspectives from across the organization. Her recommendations, including identifying six mutually reinforcing levers, provided an important catalyst for organizational improvement.

Angie not only demonstrated strong capability in analyzing organizational data and identifying key insights, but also prowess in integrating with our culture, connecting with our employees, and advising our senior executives. Through her facilitation skills, she created safe spaces for employees and leaders to give honest input. And with her organizational development expertise, she adeptly synthesized and translated the feedback into a set of practical, yet pivotal, interventions that have been paramount for our development.”

  “Angie has the much sought-after consulting trifecta: sharp intellect, deep functional expertise, and strong social and emotional intelligence. A quick study, she can swiftly learn a client’s context, become a trusted partner, and provide much-needed strategy and capacity building support. 

I had the pleasure of working with her in the Middle East and witnessed first-hand Angie’s ability to learn and lead in multi-cultural environments with global teams. Whether presenting to senior leaders, facilitating a World Café with key stakeholders, or providing change management training, she builds meaningful relationships and supports important group breakthroughs. Her ability to develop thought leadership that drives organizational culture and capacity is unparalleled.

Having worked with consultants from all over the world, I highly recommend her.”

“Angie provided important organizational cultural analysis for Vital Voices Global Partnership to empower continual improvement in organizational strategy, development, and culture. She created a seamless process and guided us every step of the way, including coaching on how to prepare and communicate with staff and management about the project and its findings. She served as a valuable advisor bringing both a deep understanding of organizational culture and a pragmatic ability to translate insights into practical recommendations.”

— Dr. Michael Marquardt, 

Professor Emeritus at George Washington University and co-founder of World Institute for Action Learning 

 “Across my five decades of teaching and consulting, I’ve never met someone as skilled at translating theory and research into meaningful practice as Angie... [She] demonstrates both a strong command of complex theories and the ability to apply them practically. 

Her rigorous research, combined with decades of experience as a practitioner, give her incredibly unique insights into the process of social change and set her apart from others. She has an unmatched command of the multi-level process of change and the important roles of individuals, organizations, and societal structures and their interactions.

In addition to her strong academic and professional skills, Angie is a wonderful human being who has worked successfully with leaders and teams in every type of organization — large or small, corporate or government,  profit or non-profit."

—  Dr. David Ernst, CIO of University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development and Executive Director of Open Education Network 

“Angie facilitated a strategic planning session for the team at Open Education Network (OEN) at a pivotal time for us in organizational development, growth, and scaling. She engaged our staff, steering committee, and external advisor to develop retreat goals, identify strategic opportunities, and surface important questions for collective exploration. 

Angie demonstrated deep understanding and thoughtful care in designing a powerful retreat experience supported by custom-developed frameworks to shape and direct our conversations. Her facilitation exceeded my expectations as she listened and responded to the team and adapted to what was happening and needed in the room. She set us up extremely well for continuing important conversations and prioritizing our work as we grow.”

—  Wray Irwin, Director of Enterprise and Employability, University of Northampton

“When it comes to cultivating shared and distributed leadership, many talk a good game, but few can deliver. Angie is one of the few I’ve met who walks the talk and brings deep empathy, collaboration, and empowerment to collectives. 

Having served as an advisory member of a global network Angie led, I experienced first-hand her ability to connect with individual leaders’ motivations, recognize and tap their unique skills, empower their leadership, and support their success. She truly transformed our committee by helping us connect to each other and our shared mission, envision what was collectively possible, and unleash and support our ideas for network growth, development, and impact.

Angie understands that network success requires equal attention to individuals and the collective. Whether equipping and mobilizing us as network leaders, or engaging, developing, and activating network members across organizations and countries, Angie is committed to others’ growth and excellence.”

and Stack It Up!

“Angie is one of those amazing people who is as skilled in strategy development, facilitation, and thoughtful writing as she is in project management. A deep change practitioner and masterful facilitator, she knows how to read a group and lead processes that help them achieve their potential. Angie is uniquely gifted at synthesizing big concepts and data and creating strategies, frameworks, and tools that not only create meaning and shared understanding, but also move a group to action. 

Rarely do the truly thoughtful and creative take as much joy in the careful, detailed management of projects. Yet, Angie holds both skills and approaches with equal passion.”

 —  Cam Arenson,

Former Pastor of ECC of Abu Dhabi 

 “Angie provided strategic planning services for the ECC at a time when we needed to make some key near-term decisions, while also planning strategically for the long-term. 

She designed and facilitated a deeply engaging, fun, and yet thoughtful World Café event to involve a highly multi-cultural group of board members and ministry leads in envisioning the future. In addition to the energy and creativity she sparked in that workshop, she brought savvy in synthesizing the key insights and presenting strategic options to the board. She adeptly catalyzed critical conversations and decisions at the board level equipping us to identify future growth needs and make near-term decisions that positioned us well for that trajectory.

Angie is equally warm as she is astute and makes a valuable partner in engaging diverse stakeholders and leaders in strategic planning.”

— Lerzan Aksoy, 

Associate Dean of Strategic Initiatives and Professor of Marketing at Fordham University, Gabelli School of Business and Managing Director of the Responsible Business Coalition

“Angie speaks the language of both scholar and practitioner, which she leverages to translate and communicate big ideas compellingly to a variety of audiences. She creates engaging presentations and trainings, innovative strategies, and insightful and accessible thought leadership. Whether facilitating a group of scholars and practitioners in writing a peer review journal article, enlisting and training a group of leaders for change, mining case studies to articulate frameworks, or presenting pragmatic interventions and plans, Angie brings so much more to the table than a traditional management consultant.

I’d recommend Angie to anyone looking to develop powerful research and thought leadership that drives meaningful change processes and impact.”
