What's PGD? Personal Growth And Development!
ANGELA WATSON
E-book
author and leadership development architect, Angela Watson, has worked
with top management and senior clinicians, in a way that enables them to
engage in purposeful dialogue with one another, their employees, and
with their clients, for almost half a decade. Angela and her company PGD
Coaching Solutions Ltd., are committed to organisational and individual
transformation through the principles described in Angela's e-books,
and her company's management training programmes.
Angela's
ability to create respectful environments with those she works with
allows her to gain an empathic understanding of issues, expectations,
and the subtleties of situations. Working in such environments has
allowed her to develop techniques to deal with the inevitable issues
that arise in everyday working life: hidden agendas, mis-communication,
and micro-management to name but a few.
Angela's "light touch"
and "straight talking" approach enables leaders and employees at all
levels of an organisation to become skilled at engaging colleagues and
clients in conversations that confront reality, provoke learning, tackle
tough challenges, and enrich relationships.
Today PGD Coaching,
helps individuals and companies all over the world generate results by
transforming the conversations central to their success, into positive,
relationship maintaining, results gaining experiences.
PGD believes that everyone has a unique contribution, that everyone has unique thinking and problem solving ability, and that we are all here to learn that whatever happens is the plan. We also believe that the key to happiness, fulfilment, and love is to be yourself, use your talents, and be of use in the world.
Re-inventionist, transitions consultant, leadership and development facilitator, author, Angela Watson has a communication reach that stretches across the world.
After leaving school at 18, she started her working life as a qualified nurse, and became one of the first Modern Matrons in the UK, before becoming a senior manager, and change management consultant.
After 17 years and 6 months with the Public and Private Health sectors, and wanting to branch out into new directions, Angela left behind a legacy of modernised careers for nurses, improved services for patients, and a well paid senior leadership position. Then PGD Coaching Solutions Ltd was born with nothing more than gallons of self-belief and bucketfuls of patience. And today, almost 5 years on, has members from a range of diverse cultures, countries and all walks of life. Membership is FREE.
Today PGD has evolved into a social network on LinkedIn, forums, motivational tips, and an ever growing list of free resources. Every Monday to Friday PGD is home to Angela's popular e-books - short, clearly written, easy to read guides on the importance of respectful and empowering relationships reflecting the values of collaboration, connection, and change. Her e-books have struck a resonant chord with managers, coaches, trainers, and consultants around the globe.
Twice a year Angela hosts Retreats in some of the best places on the planet. And she regularly gives seminars and hosts workshops on the nature of reality, the power of thought, leadership, and how to create major life changes by leveraging personal power and engaging life's gifts of learning.
For Angela, the most inspiring part of her story was discovering that by authentically and congruently focusing on what you want to have happen, being true to yourself, and setting yourself in motion towards the realisation of any dream, not only benefits others, but the whole universe conspires on your behalf with gifts beyond your greatest expectations.
Angela lives happily in rural Hampshire with her partner Mark, who has two teenage children. She is a regular competitor at canine obedience shows with her two golden retrievers Harry and Lucy. When she's not in Turkey, she lives and works between Bristol, Basingstoke, and Portsmouth.
