Angelina is a deeply intuitive coach combined with a strong understanding of the tech world. Her style was a great fit for me. I was nearing the deadline on three outward-facing creative projects and was seeking a coach to help me get them across the finish line. Her approach was to develop my inward-facing strategies, which was a new approach to me. As a result, I submitted all three projects by their deadlines, almost effortlessly.
Honestly, I was genuinely surprised by this outcome. While she may describe it another way, what I felt like she was doing was helping me get out of my head, and instead go deeper into my self-trust as a leader, author and professional. I am very thankful for her approach and strongly recommend her for any professional who is seeking a coach and advisor who can intuitively navigate deeper resistance points, rather than emphasize the typical production-focused style of executive coaching.

When I first reached out to Angelina, I was struggling with depression, anxiety, fear of failure, fear of the future, frustration with what to do about my career and feeling stuck in my living situation. If my depression and anxiety at the beginning was a level 9 it is now at a level 1 or 2. Seriously.
I wanted to advance myself in my career, I wanted to get out of debt… I just needed change in a big way. Every conversation I had with her changed my perspective and gave me easy to understand steps and applications for my life that would help with whatever I was dealing with at the time.
I have developed better habits, better ways of handling disappointment, better ways of reflecting and removing resistance in my life. I have a better relationship with my husband and step-kids because I am happy and can now allow them to just be themselves without expectations or judgements. I have less judgment and expectations on myself which has freed me to live the life I actually want. Anyone can benefit from working with Angelina on any level.
Whether it be a group discussion or one-on-one coaching, her magic is life changing. Be open to receiving the good that comes along with working with her, and take notes. Her wisdom is priceless.

Working with Angelina has been an absolutely transformative experience. Over the course of our engagement, she has helped me to uncover my hidden, deep-seated beliefs and assumptions. She has done this in a way that has been both intellectually stimulating and emotionally supportive.
Angelina is a master at asking the right questions and creating a safe space that helped me to explore my thoughts and feelings without judgment. She has a gift for helping me to see my own patterns of thinking and behavior with new clarity.
One of the things that I appreciate most about Angelina is her ability to create cognitive dissonance and allow silence to speak. Some of the most important insights come when we simply sit with our thoughts and feelings without trying to fix them.
I have the utmost respect for Angelina's depth and the richness of her life experiences. She brings a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to our sessions, and I always feel challenged and inspired by her insights.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Angelina.

When my business partner and I decided to reach out to Angelina, I thought our relationship was beyond repair. I did not know how to fix “us” and I was pretty hopeless about our business and our friendship. I was very nervous, as I had never met with a coach before, but we were desperate and I was willing to do anything it took to make things better.
When we first spoke, Angelina made me feel instantly at ease and comfortable. I felt like I was chatting with a very wise friend. She opened my mind to new ways of thinking about my emotions. She gave me actual tools to use to help myself get out of the spirals I would get into in my head. I am able to utilize the techniques she taught me almost every day.
Not only did she save my partner’s and my relationship and business, but I give her credit for helping make all of my relationships better. I no longer worry as much, I have a more positive opinion about myself and other people, and everyone in my life can see it.
A very real difference was made. She changed my life. And I am so grateful.

Wanna End War? Lose Your Opinion.
Ever hear this one?
A@#holes and opinions: everybody's got one.. and they all stink. ~Anonymous
Crass as it may be, there is truth to this americana blue-collar adage of yore.
We've all got 'em--good, bad and ugly. But do our opinions really serve us?
There is a Chinese proverb that goes something like this…
A farmer and his son had a beloved stallion who helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbors exclaimed, “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!” (Opinion)
The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild mares back to the farm as well. The neighbors shouted out, “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!” (Opinion - you get the point)
The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
Later that week, the farmer’s son was trying to break one of the mares and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg. The villagers cried, “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!” (You get it.)
The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, recruiting all the able-bodied boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son, still recovering from his injury. Friends shouted, “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!”
To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.”
See how easy it is to slip into opinionating?
We do it all the time.
It makes me think of Star Wars.
Remember how we all thought Darth Vader was the bad guy for all that time--opinion--but in the end, he's the one who wound up killing the really bad guy, the Emperor?
One might opine that Vader was a really bad guy, right? If not for ol' Vader, those rebels wouldn't have mobilized and a bunch of other stuff might not have happened, which ultimately restored balance to the galaxy. True.
And there were a bunch of folks who either knew or knew about Vader--knew he was a bad guy--had their opinions about him, yet did nothing.
See, opinions are sort of like hope, in that they give the false sense that we're doing something about it, when in fact we're doing nothing. Really. Nothing at all. Another thing is, opinions are usually about things that are either 1) none of our business or, 2) outside our circle of influence. (see: You Matter)
In Star Wars, the rebels didn't have time for opinions. There was work to be done, and there was nothing in them that could resist taking the actions they took--actions which needed to be taken by them, in that dire time.
They certainly didn't sit around and indulge what they thought about the situation at hand. Their opinions, if they had them, were mute and would have likely hampered right and timely action.
There's another important point that surfaces here: the rebels weren't bothering with contemplations about things that had nothing to do with them. They were focused on what was theirs to take care of, and nothing else.
Imagine if everyone, everywhere just let things that were none of their business be what they are, rather than getting emotionally involved about things like how so-n-so dresses, or who's sleeping with whom or what your neighbor calls God.
Can you imagine how much energy it would save us all? All that wasted energy would get directed way more creatively.
How so? Opinions are generally negative in nature and make us feel grumpy because of it. If we weren't all so grumpy, the energy we had available would get directed creatively.
Just a hunch.
But if my hunch were right, imagine all the misunderstandings that wouldn't happen, all of the resulting tiffs, arguments, fights or outright wars that would be avoided... all if we relinquished one simple "right".
It's true: you do have a right to your opinions.
I'm just curious, how much is your right costing you? How much of your creativity is it costing the world?
What do you think?
I want to hear your stories about how an opinion got you or someone you know into a pinch, or made a tough situation worse.
Did that opinion result in creative action? What did it result in?
