Angela Chee

Angela Chee is a former TV news anchor turned communication coach and keynote speaker who empowers leaders, especially women, to “Own Your Voice” and lead with confidence. With over 20 years of on-air experience at major outlets (from NBC and Fox to E! and HGTV), Angela has honed the art of engaging audiences under pressure. Now, as an executive coach and podcast host, she translates those skills into lessons for public speaking, executive presence, and personal branding. Angela is the author of “The Power Of The Only,” a concept she embodies as an Asian-American woman often breaking ground in media. She helps professionals embrace what makes them unique (being “the only” in the room) and turn it into an advantage rather than a setback. Her philosophy is encapsulated in her motto: “YOU, Amplified!®” – the idea that authentic self-expression is a leader’s secret weapon.

Angela’s presentations blend practical techniques with inspiration. She offers “soft skills” strategies for high-stakes conversations, whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, delivering a keynote, or handling tough questions with grace. For example, drawing on her bestselling book “BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It,” (which she often references with permission from author Peggy Klaus), Angela teaches how to communicate achievements confidently without coming off as arrogant. She provides actionable tips on language shifts that can help women and underrepresented groups claim their accomplishments proudly. As a coach, she has worked with executives from companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco, helping them transform nervous energy into commanding presence.

What sets Angela apart is her warm, relatable style – a blend of media savvy and genuine empathy. Attendees consistently praise her ability to create a safe space while also pushing them to step outside their comfort zones. In her talks, she often shares personal stories from her broadcasting days – for instance, how she overcame panic before going live on camera, or how being a minority in her newsroom fueled her mission to help others find their voice. These anecdotes resonate with audiences who have felt unheard or hesitant to step into the spotlight. Angela also likes to engage her audience in short “speak-up” labs or interactive moments, reinforcing that finding one’s voice is as much about practice as theory.
