Speaking Title : I Did it in My Pyjamas or Stop Running to the Well (you choose)

Bio :

Hi, I am Angela and I am a serial entrepreneur! My brain is always whizzing with great ideas often to the frustration of those closest to me. My biggest passion is my husband, four beautiful children, one grandchild and three cats! I am so blessed to have such an amazing family. My LinkedIn title says that I am a ❀ Author ❀ Speaker ❀ Entrepreneur ❀ but what it doesn’t say is that I also love to sing in the shower, play my piano and try my hand at some Bob Ross painting.

If my accent confuses you it’s because I was born in Crawley, England, but spent all of my childhood in South Africa. I currently live in Cheltenham but who knows where the wind will take me. My dream is to stop working so hard all the time and live on a farm where I can enjoy complete silence, grow things in the garden and have even more animals.

I look forward to sharing some of my business adventures with your. Enjoy.

“Don’t let your past hold you back – you can be who you truly want to be.”

Growing up in the 1950s when difficult subjects were swept under the carpet, Angelika grew up in an environment of domestic violence and suffered years of trauma and sexual abuse as a child. Her abuser told her that she would never come to anything. She was made to feel inadequate, and was told she was only good enough to be a prostitute. She believed him, felt worthless, and ended up living a ‘colourful’ life.

Being strong and intelligent, Angelika soon realised that she could choose to leave those traumas and that lifestyle behind. Her past was not her destiny! Through a process of learning and self-development, she accepted her past and looked to the future, ultimately working in various fulfilling roles in the corporate world for many years.

Eventually, Angelika realised that her purpose and passion in life was to help others reach a place of acceptance and wellbeing. For the past 17 years, she had helped to transform many people’s lives. At one stage she qualified and practiced as a Bowen therapist, but in recent years focuses on mentoring, workshops and speaking opportunities, enabling people to live a joyful, fulfilling life.

Helping you to move on from adversity and develop a positive mental attitude, Angelika’s programme of workshops and one-to-one sessions highlights where your negative beliefs are, how they’re holding you back, and helps you to achieve specific goals to re-create your life. If you would like Angelika to help you make changes for life, or would like her to speak at an event, contact her at ABChange4Life.

At the core of Angelika’s work is her formula to living a life free from pain and full of joy:

Acceptance + Belief + Choice = Change
