Meet Angela — Founder of Happy at Work & Career Protocol
As the founder of Career Protocol and the Happy at Work movement, I help people unlock their potential at work — with kindness, clarity, and a dash of fun.
I'm a former BCG consultant, a Yale-educated philosopher, and Booth MBA turned leadership development expert. Over the last 20 years, I’ve helped thousands of professionals grow into more confident communicators, kinder leaders, and more fulfilled human beings at work.
At Happy at Work, we design transformational training that equips people to thrive — and helps companies build cultures where happiness drives competitive advantage and enhanced performance.
When people are connected to meaning, clarity, and each other, they lead better, grow faster, and stay longer.
