See What Leaders Are Saying About Our Visionary Founder and CEO, Dr. Angela E. Batista

Angela leverages her many years of experience, passion, and deep understanding of complex organizational issues to support presidents, senior leaders, and DEI professionals on their leadership journeys. For more than 13 years, Angela has been a trusted thinking partner, helping me enhance my decision-making by inspiring and supporting me. She is a living example of authentic and courageous leadership and has an excellent grasp of the issues, challenges, and opportunities faced by presidents and CEOs, vice presidents, and other senior leaders. I highly recommend Angela's coaching and consulting, especially for leaders and organizations working to advance issues of equity and social justice.

Shirley M. Collado, President CEO of College Track and President Emerita of Ithaca College

Angela is a courageous leader who has demonstrated it time and time again as she championed student success and inclusivity at Champlain College. As a white leader, I appreciated Angela's deep understanding of complex issues and her willingness to challenge leaders in positions of privilege (including me). I saw Angela's courage and compassion in action as she worked to educate a roomful of (largely white) board members on the importance of board leadership in building organizational culture. I also saw her wade into difficult conversations with faculty and students during emotionally charged times. Behind the scenes, Angela served as a trusted, honest adviser. I learned so much from her and am grateful for our time together. She helped me become a better leader, especially by deepening my understanding of how to lead an institution toward greater inclusivity and equity.

Don Laackman, Chief Program Officer & Interim CEO, Heartland Alliance; Former President Champlain College

Angela is a phenomenal coach! She has a keen ability to intuitively inspire and motivate through an authentic, committed, and patient approach. Her extensive cross-cultural expertise enables her to understand and support individuals and teams from all backgrounds, making her an excellent and transformative consultant. Angela is dedicated to assisting senior leaders and teams in expanding their awareness and knowledge of themselves (personally and professionally). Equally exciting about Angela is her national reputation for keeping teams focused on the institutional mission and purpose, and on student success. She is courageous, bold, innovative, brilliant, collaborative, and kind. Angela is a practical voice of reason, and I respect and trust her ability to help me and others lead successfully during these challenging, ever-changing times in higher education.
