About Angie Alderman
Thought Leader & Author
Hello, Iโm ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ โ an accredited executive coach, psychotherapeutic counsellor, Angerologistยฎ, and workplace assessor who bridges the gap between coaching psychology and psychotherapy. Iโm also a former actor and TV presenter, which gives me a unique insight into communication, presence, and understanding human behaviour.
I work with high-performing leaders and organisations to create meaningful change, particularly where performance, pressure, and emotional complexity intersect. My expertise lies in helping leaders unlock peak performance in high-pressure environments, empowering them to leverage emotions as catalysts for authentic leadership, resilience, and mental fortitude โ essential for thriving in todayโs volatile and challenging markets.
Iโve partnered with organisations including UK Parliament, the BBC, Meta, Google, AstraZeneca, UCL, Oxford University, BCG, Salesforce, and EY. I also contribute to Wellcome Trustโfunded research projects in collaboration with Swansea University.
As a coaching supervisor and neurodiversity specialist, I combine leadership coaching, mental health expertise, and a deep understanding of human behaviour. I am also a public speaker on complex emotions, leadership, and workplace wellbeing.

Turn Anger Into Clarity, Confidence, and Action
A.N.G.E.R.: Get What You Want Without Losing Yourself is a practical, scienceโbacked guide to understanding and using anger constructively โ without damaging relationships or compromising who you are.

This is where many leadership teams are getting stuck and often where progress is slower (and more complex) than expected.
In this article, I break down 5 shifts Iโm working through with senior leadership right now:
#1: Move Beyond Technical Adoption
#2: Decode Resistance to AI
#3: Implement a People-First Strategy
#4: Pivot from Static Expertise to Agile Learning
#5: Develop Integrated Developmental Ecosystems
If youโre dealing with this at leadership level, Iโd be interested to hear whatโs proving hardest to shift.
Most anger at work isnโt explosive โ itโs quiet, contained, and costly.
I see it every day in my work. It shows up in the email we rewrite five times and still never send.
In the meeting where our tone hardens, or swings the other way and becomes overly polite. In the โIโm fineโ we say out loud, while replaying the moment for hours afterwards.
In this short conversation, I share the thinking behind my A.N.G.E.R.ยฎ self-coaching approach โ a simple way to move from reaction to response by treating anger as useful information, rather than something to suppress.
If youโve ever caught yourself thinking, โI didnโt handle that wellโ five minutes too late, this will resonate.
What does your anger tend to do at work โ come out sharp, go quiet, or turn into overthinking?
