A Little About Angus Nelson
As a recognized speaker, Angus has had the honor of addressing audiences both around the country and from many different professions.
His speaking style is cutting-edge and every single performance is unique. Angus tailors each message to the audience and he brings an energetic and humorous delivery. His goal with each talk is to educate and entertain which he does by bringing unique perspectives, real-world experience, and a fresh style that inspires action.
“My principal, other staff, and I were equally impressed with your closing. A very powerful message.” Dennis Flathom, School to Career Coordinator, Mosinee School District
Angus believes in people. All people. From the top to the bottom of any organization, everyone is experiencing a personal life of challenge, tragedy, or failure. Those emotional issues will inevitably affect professional performance. As an team, we can’t afford to ignore real life for work life… we all need to adapt an understanding of GRACE. Grace in life, to one another, and to our workflow routine.
Two facts of life Angus learned from his dad:
1. Every family is dysfunctional, including yours.
2. Every person is jacked-up, including you.
These two facts level the playing field to the fact that there are no perfect people, however much we’ve been led to believe.
Every person, every where, goes through gritty stuff – ‘grit happens’! Therefore, we each need to learn how to give grace to one another… even ourselves. With witty delivery and gut-level truth, Angus guides clarity to the real-life, underlying issues of nearly all inter-personal conflicts.
Angus pulls no punches in communicating principles for an optimal life. With both a naturally gifted people skills and a well-developed emotional IQ, Angus equips people with tools for more effective organizations, more understanding relationships, and more powerful perceptions of themselves.
“You are your best asset to solving life’s problems.”
With a delivery more honest, transparent than any you’ll ever encounter, he brings a refreshing perspective to the knowledge that none of us are alone in our struggles with life, family, or even self. Angus communicates how all of us, imperfect people, can experience the grace necessary to life a powerful, authentic life.
If your event, team, or organization needs a shot of clever, frank, practical, and entertaining presentation, Angus is your man.
