Meet Angela
Angela Malakai is an international keynote speaker, MC and author of The Gift.
With more than 20 years’ experience developing people and leaders across Australia and New Zealand, her work brings together lived experience, human development, leadership and practical tools that help people understand what shaped them, lead themselves with courage and create lives that genuinely reflect who they are.
Angela’s work is not about fixing people or telling them who to become. It is about helping them recognise the potential already within them and become more fully who they are.
Heal deeply. Lead boldly. Live fully.
Behind The Work
I am proud of my blended heritage.
Being both Samoan and of European descent has given me the privilege of experiencing two rich cultures, each shaping the way I see the world, connect with people and lead.
I’m equally proud of my multicultural family, where my husband’s Tongan culture has added another beautiful layer to the life we’ve built together.
Every part of my story has shaped me. My culture, my family, my successes, my failures, the challenges I’ve faced and the opportunities I’ve been given have all helped make me who I am today.
“They didn’t all feel like gifts at the time. But every part of my story has shaped who I am. Understanding that has helped me choose who I want to be and how I want to live. For that, I am deeply grateful.”
