Angie is warm and easy to talk to, there is an immediate atmosphere of trust when working with her. I was feeling stuck and unsure of where to go next, but Angie helped me move through layers of confusion to rediscover my purpose and rebuild the confidence to pursue my dream. She provides exercises that make your goals feel achievable, and I use these exercises daily. I highly recommend Angie to anyone who is seeking an objective, intuitive, and intelligent coach.

My time with Angie has been truly transformative. She’s helped me build the foundation I need to pursue the career I want. I’ve made significant progress by working with Angie to build strategies around goal achievement, define strong personal and career values, develop skills to manage difficult workplace interactions, and to gain clarity around major career change. In our time together I’ve had more ‘aha’ moments than ever before. Angie is an expert in this work and I’m deeply grateful for our partnership.

“I have a big-hairy-audacious-goal I’m working towards and I wouldn’t have been able to define it, visualize it and start to do it without Angie’s coaching. She’s helped me become crystal clear and fearlessly focused on what I want to do, and how I’m going to do it. It’s fun, amazing, and inspirational to work with Angie as my coach!”

Angie is great at listening deeply, assessing the situation, then nudging you towards clarity and to formulating an action plan. She is not afraid to get to the point, nor in asking searching questions to ensure that you remain true to your values and goals. With Angie’s assistance, I’ve shifted from feeling truly stuck to seeing ways forward, with her keeping me accountable to taking action. Highly recommended.

Who’s It For?

Onwards Outdoors is for when you want to discover
game-changing clarity and facilitate positive change in your life:

CLARITY

Gain clarity ON GOALS/DECISIONS

Many of us struggle with some “mental fog” from time to time. A life-coach can help us gain clarity on our values, priorities and goals, and how we might best achieve them.

STRESS

Reduce stress and anxiety

Our jobs and life in general can sometimes cause stress and anxiety. Taking a walk with a dog has been shown to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

BELIEFS

CHANGE self-limiting beliefs

The stories we tell ourselves can lead to self-limiting behaviors. NLP coaching can help us create new, more self-affirming beliefs and behaviors.

MINDFULNESS

Improve mindfulness

Practicing mindfulness has been shown to increase feelings of calmness and relaxation. Walking with a dog as part of a coaching session helps us get the hang of it.

LIFE TOOLS

Develop a toolkit for life

Life sometimes bring lots of “stuff” for us to deal with. NLP coaching can help us reframe beliefs and develop a “toolkit” to help us deal with life’s challenges.

MOTIVATION

build and maintain motivation

Staying motivated to work on our goals can be a challenge. NLP coaching brings effective tools and techniques to help us stay motivated over time.

HEALTH

Increase healthy behaviors

Most of us want to increase our healthy behaviors, but we can be good at making excuses. Coaching can help us take action on our healthy goals.

POTENTIAL

Reach your fullest potential

Everybody is full of extraordinary potential, but sometimes it can be tough to reach it. The purpose of coaching is to help us reach our fullest potential.
