2024 Associate Board of Directors

Associate Director of Membership

Angela Lindley, MS, ACC

Angela Lindley completed her UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education Coaching for Life and Work Certificate in 2017. In addition to her private practice, Lindley Coaching Services in Davis, CA, Angela provides mental-health wellness coaching at Lyra Health in Burlingame, CA. She was drawn to coaching as a way to help others see their great potential and use that insight to propel themselves forward and live more meaningful, impactful lives. She approaches each client with a sense of empathy and curiosity, trusting them to be the experts in their own lives, and knowing that their potential for success already resides within. She views her role as a creator of a safe space for clients to experiment, broaden their thinking and truly come to believe in their own potential. She draws on her UC Davis training as well as Lyra’s model of cognitive behavioral coaching to provide appropriate support for their needs. Angela’s interest in service on the ICF Sacramento board is driven by a desire to broaden her work within the coaching profession, both to strengthen the Chapter’s reach to other potential members and create a meaningful experience for current members, as well as to bring the potential of coaching to the lives of more people in the Sacramento area. She truly believes in the great work that coaches do and in the profession’s potential to create good within the broader society. Outside her role as a coach, she is the social media manager for Continuing and Professional Education at UC Davis, which also places her in a unique position to serve as a bridge between the Chapter and the UC Davis certificate program. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring all that California’s natural beauty provides. She also loves to knit, quilt and spend time with her husband and 12-year-old daughter.

Associate Director of Administration

Laurie Rich

After struggling greatly to find purpose, meaning, and self identity after the sudden death of my husband in 2019, my path forward became clear: I wanted to work with widows and help guide them from merely surviving to thriving.

As a Certified Grief Coach and Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner, I work with women and those identifying as women who have been widowed from their spouse, partner, or companion. Since 2020 I’ve worked with widows around the globe as a coach, advocate, mentor, grief companion, and support group facilitator.

I work with widows of all ages, partnership statuses, loss circumstances, and faiths/belief systems. I journey beside them as they commit to a healthy grief process and the renegotiation of the manifestation of grief, loss, and trauma in their body, choosing to walk directly into (and ultimately through) their pain and grief, then committing to giving themselves a future of purpose, meaning, and joy.
