Angela Lussier
Angela Lussier is an award-winning speaker, three-time author, two-time TEDx presenter, and trainer. Angela started a career consulting business seven years ago with no marketing budget. Although she was shy and new to public speaking, she decided to give free workshops to become known in her field. In her first year of business, she gave close to 500 presentations, published her first book, spoke at TEDx, and started to receive calls from corporations and conferences asking her how much she charged to speak. This launched her into a speaking career which has led to speaking to diverse audiences, traveling the country, and winning awards for speaking. She is the past Public Relations Officer of Toastmasters District 53, a current member of the National Speakers Association, and the creator of a new online course which teaches creative, entrepreneurial women to become paid speakers who inspire audiences. She is a contributor to Huffington Post and her work has been featured on ABC, NBC, Yahoo!, About.com, The Ladders, Entrepreneur.com, and CBS Money. The philosophy she lives by, and teaches, is stop waiting and start creating. She lives in Holyoke, Massachusetts and she can be found at www.angelalussier.us.
