Leading HR Has Never Been Harder
You’re not just managing HR.
You’re driving business results while balancing executive pressure, team expectations, and constant change.
You're expected to have the answers—without enough time, budget, or resources.
You’re navigating layoffs, retention, growth, culture, and strategy—often in the same week.
And somehow, you’re supposed to make it look effortless.
Let’s be honest:
Being a CPO today means leading at the edge of what’s possible (AI, anyone?).
Translating complexity. Balancing speed with sound judgment.
And doing it all without losing the humanity that makes leadership matter.
“25 years into my career, and the 6 months I worked with Angela was a transformative experience.”
—Julie B, EVP, Human Resources
Not Just a Coach. A Strategic Partner Who’s Been in the Seat.
Angela Justice, PhD—multi-time award-winning CPO and experienced biotech executive.
Hi, I’m Angela.
I’ve led through restructurings, mergers, board dynamics, and business model shifts—and I’ve coached other HR leaders doing the same.
I know how hard this role is. I also know what it takes to lead with influence, drive results, and show up as a true peer at the executive table.
I bring that lens to every engagement: part strategy, part mindset, part honest mirror.
My goal isn’t just to help you succeed in the role. It’s to help you own it—fully, visibly, and on your terms.
Angela is a rare strategic thought partner… coaching with her transforms how you think, act, and lead.
— SM, Founder & CEO
You Support Everyone Else. Now it’s Your Turn.
Here’s How This Works
1. Let’s talk.
You’ll walk me through what’s happening, what’s at stake, and what kind of support might actually move the needle. I’ll ask sharp questions—listen closely to what’s said (and what’s not)—and we’ll get clear on what matters most.
2. We’ll see if it’s a fit.
If coaching is the right lever—and I’m the right coach—I’ll walk you through what that looks like and answer your questions clearly and directly. If not, I’ll say so. I don’t take every client, and I won’t waste your time.
3. Get to work.
We’ll move fast on what matters most—starting with the dynamics, decisions, and patterns shaping your leadership and impact. Each session ends with sharper insight, clearer priorities, and a plan you can put to work.
“Having worked with several coaches, I can confidently say Angela is top-tier—smart, strategic, and pragmatic.”
— JS, SVP & Board Director
