“Angela was the perfect speaker for our event. She adeptly and seamlessly spoke to diverse interests in our audience with a clear message about the need to instill a global mindset in our students. She introduced provocative ideas that both challenged traditional conceptions of work and the role of education yet also invited the audience to participate in furthering the conversation. She backed up her ideas with a mix of personal experience and anecdotes as well as solid data-based evidence. We look forward to inviting Angela back in person to speak again!”
