Angie learned how to lead during her time in the Marine Corps. She’s since shared her experiences in her books, Leading from the Front and the New York Times Best-Selling SPARK. She’s the co-founder of Lead Star and has been designing and delivering leadership programs for the world’s best businesses for 15+ years. She holds a BA and MBA from the University of Michigan. Beyond work, Angie is an avid athlete and challenge junkie. She’s running the Boston Marathon this spring and will compete in the TC Ironman in August. She’s also a huge reader – and is one of the creators of the Grand Traverse Battle of the Books competition.
“I’m passionate about stories – mine and yours. My work focuses on using my stories, particularly the failure ones, to share what I’ve learned and what others can learn from them, too.”
