Wayfinding is the term I use to describe the work I do with people – usually business owners and professionals. Wayfinding is about inquiry, clarity, and impact.

People find me when they are feeling overwhelmed and burned out by their very successful (yet incredibly frustrating) businesses and lives. They are feeling chaotic, but want order. I help them achieve that.

These high-performing entrepreneurs and executives are seeking a partner – someone who will listen without judgement, ask the hard questions without judgement, and someone who can speak plainly, honestly and with compassion to help them find their way. I’ve been in business for 17 years, have written five books, and worked with hundreds of business owners and executives.

My clients often feel incredible relief after one session and see the major changes they were hoping for in 90 days or less. I can “see” where someone is stuck and excel at helping them unpack their confusion, move through the pain of indecision, and find the clarity they want to take aligned action with confidence and joy. From chaos to order, naturally.

Worth noting: working with me spans the personal and the professional, because both matter: you are a human BEING first and a person DOING work second.

My clients work with me repeatedly for years (some since 2011). They confess, “Angie, it’s lonely at the top. It takes courage to run a business and having you as a partner and guide to walk beside me on this journey makes a huge difference.”

She also received the coveted “5 Star Award” from in the 2016 Authors Talk About It independent book awards for her fourth book, Make Some Room: Powerful Life Lessons Inspired by an Epic 16 day Colorado River Rafting Trip through Grand Canyon.

Personally

Angie and her husband live to travel and love immersive experiences, like taking a private 16-day Colorado River rafting trip through Grand Canyon and spending 13 days on a self-supported rafting adventure covering all 149 miles of the French Broad River through North Carolina and into Tennessee. 

In 2016 they completed a 6,000 mile road trip to see Glacier, Yellowstone, and the Badlands National Parks and Devil’s Tower National Monument. 

Between 2017 and 2019, they traveled over 20,000 miles back and forth across the country in their Class A motorhome, visiting places like the Rocky Mountains, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon NP, Capitol Reef National Monument, the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, Liard Hot Springs in British Columbia, Joshua Tree National Park, The Petrified Forest National Park, and the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. They lived for several months in the middle of a national forest in Alaska and on Bureau of Land Management Land in Escalante, Utah. 

Together, they sincerely believe taking time away from their businesses regularly keeps them more engaged in life and in their work.
