Testimonials

Ang was an invaluable partner and sounding board as I led a food systems nonprofit through a major transition and strategic planning process. Their insights into regional food systems broadened my perspective, grounded our work, and strengthened our strategy. Ang helped me craft thoughtful questions that clarified our priorities and introduced visual tools that made the process more inclusive for diverse thinkers. Their support built my confidence, fostered trust within our team, and helped us co-create a strategic plan rooted in shared vision and values.

Ang has helped us become clearer about our priorities and needs. They have guided us through many a tough spot, be that in our strategic planning, mission in action, or with our staff and culture. We are a better organization because we work with Ang. We find it invaluable to have a committed and active partner in evaluating our current and future needs, someone who holds up the mirror for us to examine ourselves in, and more.

Ang has a phenomenal way of listening to your needs and breaking those needs into macro and micro organizational, cultural, and philosophical questions that guide our work together. Ang helped us identify the next important steps as well as the manner in which we could solve thorny situations and problems with ease and care while maintaining our mission at the forefront of the work.

Angela Roell worked with Gilburg Leadership Inc. (GLI) as a consultant in several roles, including supporting succession planning for our family-owned business and facilitating a community of practice among GLI collaborators.

We valued Ang’s collaborative approach, strong organizational skills, and attention to detail. Ang has a unique ability to see patterns across conversations, even when meetings were months apart. Their facilitation style balanced open exploration with gentle guidance, helping us stay on track while surfacing important questions we might have missed. On a practical level, they kept us focused by tracking key points, creating clear agendas, and ensuring we had a good record from each meeting.

Ang skillfully held space for two parallel conversations—developing our leadership succession strategy as a business and building a community of practice with our collaborators—without losing sight of either. This allowed us to have honest, sometimes difficult, discussions about our interpersonal dynamics as a sibling-run business, and to share insights from those conversations with our broader team.

Ang is a thoughtful, grounded, and insightful thought partner, able to guide the challenging conversations that brought us more clarity about our goals and direction. GLI highly recommends them!
