Leadership Motivation Interviewing and Shortlisting Candidates How to give your best performance during the interview process

I have had the pleasure of listening to Angela speak at various events and I find she is the most engaging, entertaining, knowledgeable and above all inspirational speaker I have ever heard. Angela is a quietly assertive person who just has the ability to totally lighten up a room with her presence, confidence and her innovative, resourceful and creative mind which just never stops. Angela has a wealth of experience to enhance her speaking engagements whether that is gained from working with a favourite charity or with board directors. Angela understands how business is changing and the importance of being a strong ambassador for women in the business world.

By her example and success, Angela has been for over thirty years an inspiration to all business people, men and women alike, and a particular role model to young women who can feel that they, too, can succeed in life and in business by following her example. She was one of the first successful women entrepreneurs in Europe, and the continuing success of her business is an inspiring example to all young women of what can be achieved, in spite of the obstacles that society throws up.
