How to know it’s time to uplevel your leadership

If You’re Wondering…

“How do I grow as a leader without becoming someone I’m not?”
“How can I make a bigger impact — without burning out?”
“How do I show up with more power, confidence, and impact — without forcing it?”
“How can I keep my personal values while stepping into more visible leadership?”
“How can I find more meaning, direction, and inner alignment in my work?”
“How do we actually shift culture from within?”

Then the truth is, you’re already a leader:
To activate your influence, you only need clarity, a little courage, and the confidence to be the kind of leader who lifts others as you rise.

The Leadership Accelerator was made for you.

Leadership That Changes Everything

Leadership isn’t a title, a promotion, or a job description. Leadership is…

🧘‍♀️ Ease

Staying grounded, clear, and steady in yourself no matter the challenge

💛 Kindness

Bringing generosity, care, and integrity to every interaction

💬 Transparency

Communicating honestly and skillfully, even when it’s hard

🎉 Celebration

Honoring progress, growth, and others' contributions along the way

✨ The Microskills™ of Leadership No One Teaches

This is not another theoretical, informational, top-down training.
It’s not a binder of good ideas that just collects dust.
And it’s not a way to change your nature into someone you’re not.

The Happy at Work Leadership Accelerator is…

A complete system of Microskills: simple frameworks and tools you can apply immediately and master in an afternoon
Tiny communication and mindset upgrades to enhance your clarity, confidence, and executive presence
Long-term behavioral change that unfolds gently over multiple weeks in the container of a supportive community of similarly ambitious and caring peers
A ripple effect that makes teams feel safer, stronger, and more inspired

For you:

For your company:

A Little About Your Guide

👋 I’m Angela.
Career coach, former BCG consultant, MBA from Chicago Booth, philosopher at heart, and the leader of the Happy at Work Movement.

I’ve spent nearly two decades helping people find their way back to themselves and build careers they love.

I believe work is supposed to be fun. That our careers are a source of meaning and purpose. And that we fulfill our unique potential through contribution to the collective. Our jobs should help us do that, especially for those with an ambition to lead.

I’ve honed the Happy at Work Leadership Accelerator over 18 years of working with top performers to expand their influence, achieve elite career goals, and express their gifts through their work.

It's the program I wish every kind, hardworking person had to help them level up without giving in to burnout, hustle, self-doubt, or fear.

💬 What Our Graduates Say:

I really appreciated some of the exercises that helped me dig into what I am good at on a deeper level. Having a clear understanding of these has helped me speak confidently about my strengths and advocate for myself at work.

Alana

Engineering Manager

This program made me feel Seen. Understood. Valued. Loved. Inspired. Whole. Worthy.

Brittany Wang

Principal Product Manager, Amgen

I think this grounding in my authentic values is what makes this program different….Before anyone tried to label me as a cog in the machine I was reminded that I’m a whole, brilliant human and that created the foundation for everything else.”

Mina

I feel like myself!!! Like more myself than I have EVER felt. Like emerging from a chrysalis – I’m ready.

Still on the fence? Here are some words of encouragement from the community you’ll be joining:

Don’t just do it. Really commit to the work that you have to do before you go out and start applying to jobs. Dig deep and figure out who you really are. Sit with it. Share it with the others and watch them turn into your biggest cheerleaders. Once you know what you want, it’s a lot less overwhelming and rejection feels (only slightly) less bad. But d’you know what? We celebrate rejection here – it’s either a learning opportunity or redirection (or both!)
