President of Wagner Leadership Group, Inc., Angela Wagner, MCC, CPCC, has worked with more than 2500 coaching and training clients over the last 17 years ranging from C-suite executives and VPs to directors and line engineers. Angela's clients have expressed a profound appreciation for her unique blend of powerful executive presence, business savvy, and approachable compassion, honed from her hands-on experience in management and executive positions in the Aerospace, Financial, Media & Entertainment, Retail, Communications, High Tech, Government and Services industries.

Angela started her high performing career early: At 19 she published original research in peer reviewed Psychology journals; at 20 she presented to seasoned psychologists from around the world at various national and regional psychological associations; and at 21 she was the first American to be accepted by the Institute of Psychiatry, in London, to do research and psychotherapy.

Angela quickly rose through the ranks at Accenture, the global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company. Angela distinguished herself among approximately 150,000 professionals in 49 countries as a top-performing global leader.

A dynamic and creative facilitator, Angela founded and co-created "Coach Skills for Effective Leadership". These in-demand group sessions - designed for high performing, high potential next generation leaders - quickly became a part of the elite Leadership Development Program at Accenture. This extremely popular leadership model was leveraged among leaders throughout Europe, Asia, and North America in less than a year simply by referral.

Angela spearheaded internal coaching at Accenture and became the firm's first full time senior executive coach. Founder of the Accenture Coaching Community of Practice, Angela mentors many coaches-in-training. She has led the design and development of a variety of global programs on Leadership Development, Sales Performance, and other capability development areas.

After a distinguished career as a top performing Accenture executive, Angela left the corporate world in order to provide coaching and leadership development consulting, thereby fully leveraging her diverse background. Angela’s credentials in the coaching arena are equally as impressive as her business experience. She is a sought-after executive coach and speaker, specializing in executive leader impact, effectiveness, and fulfillment. Angela has been invited to speak at high profile conferences and consortia, and is a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Executive Coaches Summit - a think tank of top executive coaches worldwide.

Angela completed coach training at the world-leading, ICF-certified Coaches Training Institute. As part of her ongoing commitment to continuing professional development, Angela completed advanced graduate coach training at Newfield in July, 2007. A Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Angela also earned her Master Certified Coach credential (MCC), the highest awarded by the ICF, in early 2007. Of 13,000 member coaches in the ICF, only 600 have earned the MCC distinction. Angela holds a double Masters in Counseling Psychology and Social Psychology (summa cum laude).

On a personal note, Angela is active in local community and international efforts for health and wellness, homeless and at-risk youth, AIDS in Africa, the potters’ caste in India, and an orphanage in Romania. She serves on the Board of Directors of The Access Life Program, which helps people with mobility impairments achieve greater access to life. In addition, she has committed a portion of all Wagner Leadership Group, Inc. revenues to The Access Life Program and to Coffee Oasis, which serves local homeless and at-risk youth.
