I had the distinct pleasure of working with Angela Barnard during a recent event, and I can confidently say she is not only a joy to collaborate with but also an exceptional speaker. Angela brings a rare and powerful blend of authenticity, presence, and emotional depth to every stage she steps onto. Her ability to weave personal stories into her talks creates a space of vulnerability and trust, immediately connecting with her audience in a meaningful way. Angela doesn’t simply deliver a message, she shares, she reveals, and she inspires. Her impact goes beyond words; she makes people feel seen, heard, and empowered to apply the insights she offers. Angela’s style is deeply engaging and thought-provoking, leaving a lasting impression long after the event concludes. She commands the room with quiet confidence and magnetic energy, offering a presence that is both grounding and uplifting. I wholeheartedly recommend Angela Barnard as a speaker for any future event. She is not just someone to listen to, she is someone to experience.

“Angela Barnard is an amazing collaborator on the design behind keynote and breakout sessions. I am extremely impressed with Ang’s attention to details, such as the makeup of the audience, their work, their challenges, and the current energy day to day. She designed a presentation that connected each of these things to her innovative content. The audience was quite moved by her presentation and excited to implement her practical advice.”

“Angela Barnard is a high energy, delightful speaker with innovative content that assists the audience with thinking big—and the practical ways to get there. She delivers content differently than most speakers in the organizational/individual development space, connecting to people’s passions and insights. Her personal stories highlight the application of her techniques in a well-rounded, witty way. Ang strikes the balance of formal and informal, appealing to all audience members.”

“I heard Ang’s presentation several months ago at another conference. I was impressed then and just as impressed the second time around. The highlighter analogy really stood out to me as something I’ll not only use for myself but also in crucial conversations with my staff. Her high-energy approach to this topic inspires me to want to be more like her—to be a highlighter—so I know it works. Thank you for the inspiration, Ang, and the tools to shift energy.”

“Ang Barnard’s presentation was so relatable to me. I have struggled my whole life with maintaining positive energy. Minor setbacks and environmental demotivators take their toll on me, but Ang encouraged us to be thermostats, not thermometers. We can set the energy level—with practice and self-discipline—and not react as much to the people around us. She explained better ways to handle people who are having a hard time (‘It makes sense that you would feel that way’) to improve interactions and keep the energy more positive. Redirecting your own thoughts from a ‘have to’ attitude to a ‘get to’ attitude makes everyday activities feel more like privileges than chores. It takes a lot of positive energy to buoy us up, and only a little negative to anchor us down, so make the effort to express gratitude, support, kindness, and positivity to yourself and those around you and bring positive energy wherever you go.”

“Attending Ang Barnard’s workshop was an incredible experience! Her energy, insight, and engaging approach made the session both inspiring and practical. The workshop provided valuable tools and strategies that I was able to apply immediately, leaving me feeling motivated and empowered—particularly in understanding the type of energy I transmit during professional and personal encounters. I especially appreciated her personal examples, including the powerful analogy of being a thermostat vs. a thermometer—choosing to influence how we are perceived rather than simply being influenced by our surroundings. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone seeking personal or professional growth!”

“As an event organizer, Ang was super easy to work with. She was timely and responsive to any inquiries I had, but the real magic happened when we discussed the purpose and the variety of leadership levels she would be speaking to. With the information provided, Ang tailored her content and successfully resonated with a vast dynamic of individuals. I received an overwhelming number of positive responses about how genuine and relatable Ang was. It has been a privilege to see the prework Ang puts into her speaking engagements and then to see how captivated the audience was during the workshop was so wholesome. On behalf of the Women in Leadership group at Indiana Packers, we are so grateful that you carved time out of your day to spend with us.”

Keynotes

Keynote by Angela Barnard:

Ignite Your Influence: Thriving Through Change with High-Energy Communication

Change is the one constant in today’s workplace, whether it’s shifting priorities, evolving roles, growing teams, or simply navigating the complexity of working with humans every day. How leaders and teams experience that change has everything to do with the energy they bring into conversations, decisions, and moments that matter.

In this keynote, Angela explores how communication and energy are deeply connected and how the way we show up emotionally, mentally, and energetically shapes both workplace culture and personal fulfillment. Rather than reacting to stress or absorbing the energy around them, participants learn how to recognize the energy dynamics at play and communicate in ways that create clarity, steadiness, and forward movement.

 Through relatable stories and practical tools, Angela gives language to the different ways people show up during change and under pressure, helping leaders build awareness around how their communication affects not only results, but also well- being, engagement, and momentum.

Keynote by Angela Barnard:

Confidence Without Certainty: Thriving Through Career Change

We all know what it feels like to face a career transition, the pressure, the questions, the second-guessing, and the stress that comes with not knowing exactly what’s next. Whether someone is preparing for their first role, stepping into leadership, changing paths, or standing at a crossroads in their career, uncertainty has a way of shaking confidence and making it harder to move forward clearly and decisively.

In this keynote, Angela brings her experience working with thousands of professionals navigating major career transitions to deliver a powerful blend of relatable storytelling, practical strategy, and grounded inspiration. Participants learn how to move through change with clarity, confidence, and intention, even when the path isn’t fully clear.

Rather than relying on certainty, Angela teaches audiences how to build internal stability, clarity of identity, values, and direction and how to use communication, presence, and energy as tools for influence during uncertain seasons. She shares science-backed strategies that help people regulate pressure, communicate their value clearly, and show up grounded and confident in high-stakes moments.

Participants gain tools to clarify what matters most to them, express their vision with confidence, and influence decision-makers through presence and clear communication.

The impact of this work extends beyond individual careers. As people learn to lead themselves through uncertainty, they positively influence the energy, communication, and culture of the environments they’re part of.  

Audiences leave feeling understood, equipped, and ready to move forward, not because everything is certain, but because they have the tools to lead themselves and others through change with clarity, confidence, and grounded influence.
