I am Angela – an executive turned career coach and creator of Belladonna Career Coaching, a place of learning about common career dilemmas and how to overcome them. I am here to share my experience of the past 25 years in the corporate world.
I advanced quickly in my career and worked my way from an International Marketing Manager in a start-up company to Vice President in multi-billion-dollar organizations within the medical device industry.
I overcame many obstacles in my career, some of them were external in nature, such as working my way through mergers, frequently changing managers, and environments of exclusion. However, some of my greatest hindrances along the way were internal blocks. There were times when I thought I was not good enough, encountered moments when I doubted my qualifications, and internalized perceived external expectations regarding how female executives “should” behave.
Now I coach other female leaders and help them unlock their full potential.
