Coaching

I began my journey as a coach in the Fall of 2015 when I met Tammy Neilson. Tammy was my coach when I was navigating the end of my Ph.D. I knew academia wasn’t for me, but I had no idea where to go next, and felt hopelessly disconnected from my own inner knowing, talents, and skills. Tammy’s coaching helped me to hone in on what I loved, and find creative ways to offer it to the world - in ways that ensure I am paid fairly for my work.

In 2016 I was a part of Tammy’s Creating Realities Coach Training Program, and under her guidance, and the support of my peers like Laura Severinac, I began my own private practice. In the ensuing years, I have independently hosted two retreats, and collaborated with Laura on The Coaching Studio, and other heart-centered programs. Part of my coaching time is spent at the Intercultural Skills Lab at Rotman (UofT) working with clients from the various Business Edge programs.

For me, coaching is an opportunity to offer you deep listening, identify your strengths and skills, and envision creative solutions to build the career and life that suits you best.

Coaching Testimonials

Over the past two years I have come to know myself more fully through Angela’s coaching. Angela skillfully listens to my ideas and concerns and she responds with a thoughtful, energetic re-imagining of the career possibilities at hand. Her welcoming, collaborative approach weaves together my hopes and dreams with tangible possibilities and the creation of fair goals. Re-casting a professional life isn’t easy, but Angela cuts through the mess and keenly meets her clients wherever they are at in the process, inviting us to centre our experiences. Angela’s coaching leads me to work in ways that prioritize my talents and make space to step away from a linear career path toward something more fulfilling. Angela's work is truly exemplary! - Chelsea

I met Angela in the spring of 2016 as I was preparing to present at my first academic conference. From first meeting I knew I was paired with the right coach - Angela created a comfortable environment and allowed me to share my concerns and rehearse my material while she listened intently and provided positive, helpful feedback. Angela's deep knowledge of material and her respect for relationship-building have helped shape both my research and teaching initiatives. Further to that, Angela has a keen eye toward detail in professional writing and has effectively and efficiently helped me hone my own craft. Most of all, it is Angela's honesty, humility, and sense of humour which keep me grounded; it is through her energy that I remain driven, and feel as if I can conquer the world.  I always leave our meetings with a sense of purpose, a knowledge that I am doing something important in my pursuits, and a confidence that propells me forward in my career. Thank you, Angela! - Laryssa Gorecki
