Angella Okawa, PCC is an executive coach with over 15 years of experience helping leaders and teams move through complexity and difference with grounded self-awareness, connection and clarity.
Angella’s background spans tech, design, health and social impact. She has supported a diversity of clients and teams both at early‑stage startups and with larger organizations including Google, Dropbox, Ford Motor Company, Blue Shield Foundation, Stanford University and UC Berkeley.
Her training includes Integral Coaching (New Ventures West), the Integrative Enneagram, the Hakomi Method and Internal Family Systems. Angella’s approach to coaching emerges as a synthesis of these many sources, from work in tech, training in trauma-informed coaching and deep immersion in a mindfulness practice.
Raised between the US and Japan, Angella draws on her personal lived cross‑cultural experience to help teams identify challenges and engage each other’s differences directly.
To leaders she brings the clarity of mindfulness and direct work in the moment that develops their capacity to break through stuck points and course-correct from the confidence of a deeper self knowing. Clients learn to stay centered during complex challenges and read and adapt to different styles. They communicate with precision and lead from vision, building authentic relationships and inspired organizations.
Angella is a lay Zen monk with Roshi Diane Musho Hamilton of the Two Arrows Zen Sangha and is based in San Francisco, CA.
