Keynotes, workshops and coaching in English
I am Dr. Angela Daalmann: keynote speaker, business coach and trainer. Science-based. Internationally experienced. Close to practice.
ANDA stands for “Mehr Frau in die Welt”: more women shaping the world. I work with women who carry responsibility and want to make a difference, helping them to lead with clarity, communicate with confidence and stay effective in their own way.

Tailored to occasion, audience, time frame and organisational culture
Science-based, clearly explained and close to real situations
Three areas of work
My work combines scientific depth, more than 20 years of leadership experience and an international perspective, translated into what actually works in everyday practice.
Leadership & Impact
Leadership is more than a function. It shows in attitude, decisions, relationships, body language and the ability to give orientation under pressure. Typical topics: personal leadership style and values, self-leadership and decision-making, presence and body language, bringing people with you.
Communication & Confidence
Confident communication means stating your position clearly, setting boundaries and staying able to act in demanding situations. Typical topics: difficult conversations, feedback and conflict, holding your ground in meetings and committees, responding to criticism and verbal attacks, voice and presence.
Resilience & Burn-on
Resilience does not mean enduring everything or simply functioning. It helps to put pressure into perspective, use resources deliberately and combine performance, health and self-determination. Burn-on describes constant functioning while vitality quietly fades. Workshops and coaching do not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.

Formats
In English or German. On site or online. Women are my clear focus. I also take on selected assignments for universities, sports organisations and associations, public institutions and international partners.
Keynotes
My keynotes combine evidence-based knowledge, strong images, humour and participation. Even in large halls the audience gets involved: short questions to think about, small experiments and concise stories make insights tangible. I adapt content, examples and tone to the occasion, sector and audience.
Workshops
My workshops combine professional depth, lively participation and focused practice. Participants work on real situations, gain new perspectives and develop steps that fit their everyday work.
Coaching
Coaching is about personal and professional questions: clarity for decisions, leadership and communication, transitions, self-regulation and the way someone shows up. My style is empathetic, clear and solution-focused, with attention to head, body, emotion and context. On request, TOP personality diagnostics based on PSI theory complement the coaching.

Programmes and selected projects
Leadership development programmes, tailor-made concepts, retreats and international cooperation, when topic, people, context and intended impact fit.
International experience
International work has been part of my professional life for many years. In South Africa, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Japan I have worked with women, leaders and organisations. Different realities of life are respected and kept visible. At the same time I work out what connects people across cultural borders.
Tanzania, Ministry of Water (2025–2026): leadership development programme for leaders of the Ministry of Water of the United Republic of Tanzania, with needs assessment and curriculum design, three in-person workshops in Tanzania, six online leadership modules and facilitated expert sessions. A pilot measure within the German Government and Federal States Programme (BLP), carried out on behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), in cooperation with the State of Lower Saxony.
Tanzania and Zanzibar (since 2017): workshops on leadership, women’s empowerment and gender equality, among them “Fit for Leadership”, “SDG 5: Equality”, “EquiCareer: Gender Equity & Career Advancement” and “Creating Leaders of Tomorrow”.
South Africa, Eastern Cape (2007–2023): training programmes and workshops on leadership, sport management and women’s empowerment, in partnership with the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture.
Japan, Prefecture of Tokushima (since 2019): workshops on women’s empowerment, leadership and gender equality, most recently a career advancement workshop for professional women (2026).
In Germany I work with universities, federal authorities, hospitals, associations and companies. Selected references (in German)
Clarity with encouragement. Depth with lightness.
A few facts about me:

Many years in a leadership role at the State Sports Federation of Lower Saxony, including 15 years of responsibility for gender equality and extensive committee work
Founder of ANDA GmbH (2022), after twelve years of parallel self-employment
Six-time speaker at the largest German-language online resilience congress, each edition with more than 10,000 participants
Systemic business coach, resilience trainer, mediator and PSI competence consultant (TOP personality diagnostics)
Former Bundesliga basketball player and coach: movement, team and performance are still part of my life
The name ANDA comes from my own name: ANgela DAalmann. In Spanish, “anda” means “she walks” and, as an imperative, “go!”. A fitting invitation: take your place, and then move.
ROOTS – Resilience of Organizations, Teams and Self
With the ROOTS model I have developed my own approach that connects resilience on three levels: organisation, team and person. Inner strength works outwards, framework conditions work inwards, and team dynamics connect both directions. Leadership has an effect on all three levels.
The model is the basis of my keynotes, workshops and coaching on resilience and burn-on.
