What people say about our work together:
Speaking:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“My organisation, the Department of Economic Development and Tourism in the Western Cape Government, recently held our strategic planning session, and Angela was our first keynote speaker. She was both inspiring and extremely motivating on a subject that is often not fully appreciated in the workplace.
Her deep understanding of the importance of worklife balance, and her technical experience of having been a practitioner in the field was evident. She manages to uplift and inspire and do so with total humility.
I would definitely recommend her as a guest speaker and a coach. “

She can most certainly pep up and spur anyone on, as a coach and as speaker!”

Executive, Career, High-Performance Coaching:
~ Joana Maria, Executive Director | Research and Innovation
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I had the pleasure of working with Angela Shurina as my Executive Brain Coach during a period when I felt completely drained of energy and unable to make progress on my personal and professional goals. What drew me to Angela was her unique 360-degree approach to executive coaching. She goes beyond traditional coaching by focusing on overall wellness and long-term behavior change. This was exactly what I needed to get back on track.
Angela helped me identify and implement sustainable strategies to increase my energy levels and focus. Her integration of neuroscience, health, and psychology with modern coaching techniques made a significant impact. What I appreciate the most is her ability to hold me accountable and push me forward, even when I feel like I’m not making progress. The mental exercises she provides help me shift my thought patterns and avoid getting stuck in the same cycles.
I would highly recommend Angela to any busy executive, entrepreneur, or leader who is dealing with decision fatigue, overwhelming anxiety, or a lack of daily motivation. Her coaching will not only help you overcome these challenges but will also empower you to perform at your best.”
