Ange Matthews believes leaders are genuine and that leadership is learned and earned. Her expertise and passion make her the transformative force organizations seek when they are ready for real behavioral change. She believes that every workplace can be a great workplace with strong human resources foundations, passionate leaders, skilled managers, high‑performing teams, and engaged employees.

With over 25 years of experience spanning entrepreneurial ventures, boutique firms, Big 4 consulting, and Fortune 500 organizations, she has consulted on thousands of programs for business owners, leaders, and teams of all sizes in a variety of industries, with extensive experience in media, advertising, construction, and technology.

Ange started her Human Resources career at Williams Television Time, where she built and led HR operations during six years of rapid organizational growth. She later managed similar high‑growth environments at Ernst & Young and Pitney Bowes before launching her own human resources consulting firms, MetaForce and HR4Entrepreneurs. Her background includes building HR departments of up to 1,500 employees from the ground up, recruiting key and executive positions, developing employee development programs across the lifecycle, and retaining talent in competitive markets.

For Ange, the challenge of transforming an individual, team, or company culture isn’t just a job. It’s been her life’s purpose since first obtaining her Bachelor’s in Corporate Wellness and continuing to grow through a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and six gold‑standard certifications.

Her commitment extends beyond her client work through her service as a board advisor for SheScales and as a Director and Professional Development & Education Committee Chair for the San Diego chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction.

For over 30 years, both in industry and as an executive coach and consultant, Jordan Chouljian has helped individuals and organizations engage in meaningful conversations, innovative thinking, and courageous leadership.

Jordan approaches coaching as a partnership built on honesty, clarity, and follow-through. He believes real growth happens when you’re willing to look directly at what’s getting in the way, challenge your own assumptions, and commit to specific actions that move you forward.

Jordan focuses primarily on individual and team development. He has provided advisory services to a variety of sectors including public utilities, banking, healthcare, accounting, education, and dozens of public sector agencies and departments. 

Jordan holds a Masters in Organizational Leadership from University of Massachusetts (Boston) and a Bachelors in Business Administration from Colorado’s Leeds School of Business. Having completed the required coursework and coaching hours, Jordan is certified as a Master Practitioner by the International Association of Coaching Professionals (IAC). Jordan is certified in numerous assessment tools and has personally trained with Pat Lencioni (Cohesive Teams), Dan Goleman (Emotional Intelligence), and Marshall Goldsmith (Employee Engagement). He is a credentialed by Wiley Publishing as a certified DiSC and 5 Behaviors Facilitator, a member of the Continuing Education faculty at Pricewaterhouse-Coopers, and an adjunct instructor for the Federal Office of Personnel Management. 

Dr. Rebecca Hannagan is an ICF-certified leadership coach, organizational and leadership development consultant, and social scientist with nearly a decade of coaching experience and a career that spans academia, organizational, and military consulting.

Rebecca has delivered coaching and leadership development to military and civilian leaders across Naval Base San Diego, Naval Facilities Southwest, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and beyond.

She believes in being direct enough to say the hard thing, curious enough to ask the question that hasn't been asked, and brings energy to make the whole process feel less like work and more like momentum.

Rebecca has lived and worked in demanding environments as a tenured professor, a defense contractor, a federal government employee, and a military spouse, and that breadth shapes how she shows up as a coach. Holding a PhD in political psychology and certifications from ICF and the Stanford d.School, Rebecca brings a rare combination of research rigor, operational experience, and human-centered intuition to every  engagement. 

She is a published scholar, a Stanford-trained facilitator, and a seasoned coach and somehow, none of that gets in the way of the fact that she is also just really good to be in a room with.
