I'm Ang,
I help high achievers clarify their message and influence with their energy through science-backed communication strategies that shift how people feel and create results they’re proud of.
​​
Keynotes & Workshops

​
Speaker Coaching
From TEDx to corporate events, I help speakers clarify their message, design talks that shift energy, and deliver them in ways that move people into action.
Energy is Contagious and...
​
Most people struggle to keep their energy up. They get drained by the energy around them or stressful situations, instead of influencing the energy around them. They second-guess what to say or how to say it when it matters most.
​
That’s where I come in.
I’m a keynote speaker and communication strategist who teaches leaders how to influence with energy, not just ideas. I’ve coached hundreds of TEDx speakers and worked with Fortune 500 teams, healthcare organizations, and even the U.S. military to help people:
-
Clarify their message
-
Protect their energy in high-pressure spaces
-
Communicate in a confident and engaging way
-
Deliver messages that move people to action
Because when you shift your energy, you shift your impact and your results.

More About Ang
I’m Angela, also known as “Ang” Barnard. I'm a keynote speaker, communication strategist, and TEDx speaker coach. I help leaders clarify their message, shift their energy, and communicate with impact—whether on stage, in high-stakes meetings, or in their careers.
​
My passion for intentional living and communication started when I realized how many leaders around me were disengaged, drained, and just going through the motions. I decided I didn’t want to live that way. Instead, I clarified my vision, studied communication and energy strategies, and began applying them. Those practices not only transformed my own results but became the foundation of the work I do today.
​
I’ve coached hundreds of speakers to share their ideas on the TEDx stage and prepared leaders for interviews, negotiations, and presentations where clarity and confidence were critical. My consulting work has taken me across the globe, partnering with Fortune 500 teams, universities, healthcare organizations, the FBI, and every branch of the U.S. military.
​
My career began as a broadcast journalist in the U.S. Army, where I learned the power of presence under pressure. Later, I was recruited to a national crisis response team as one of the youngest and few women selected, training leaders to communicate on camera during some of the nation’s toughest moments.
​
I also host The Intentional Mind Podcast, a top-ranked global show about living and leading with clarity and energy. When I’m not speaking or coaching, you’ll probably find me hiking with my husband, chasing my toddler, sipping coffee or hugging my cat!
