Crawford, a founder, consultant, executive coach, and leadership expert with over two decades of experience working at senior levels within Fortune 500 organizations. Throughout her career, Angela has worked across financial services, healthcare, technology, government, education, and retail—giving her a unique, 360-degree understanding of how individuals and teams perform in high-pressure environments.</p><p>What makes this conversation especially fascinating is Angela’s global lens. She’s conducted research on workplace motivation across 23 countries, exploring what really ignites passion and purpose in people. That research, combined with her PhD work published in the <em>Journal of Service Research</em>, forms the foundation of the work she does today—helping leaders and organizations unlock growth from the inside out.</p><p>She’s also the creator of the <em>Leaders SUCCEED Together©</em> program, an integrated system designed to elevate leadership, strengthen culture, and drive meaningful, sustainable performance across teams.</p><p>In this episode, we go deep into leadership, mindset, motivation, and how principles from the corporate world translate directly into sport and high-performance environments. Whether you’re a player, coach, or leader in any field, there’s something in this conversation for you.</p><p>This is a powerful one—let’s get into it.</p>
