2025 reflections and 2026 plans... 2025 has been a dream come true . A new place to serve women. A book in the world to introduce myself. But mostly, elevating 145 of you inspired leaders to a life full of delight - through yoga, paddle boarding, book club, retreats, workshops, visiting teams abroad... all of it has been such an honor and such an amazing year. I'm simply amazed at the life I get to live and the women I get to serve. Thank you. Here's to 2026 and all the fun

Good year? Bad year? Great year? How was your 2025 ? Have you had even a moment to ask yourself that yet? Maybe after the last Christmas present is opened, you can find a quiet space and grab your journal, before the turn of the year. At the end of each year, I make my list with these categories, and then I take notes with the help of my photos and my calendar: Your list will no doubt be different. But open up the delight framework and ask yourself these questions. Soul Whe

What is a dystopia? Well it's the opposite of utopia. "An imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice , typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic ." And why bother reading it? Well, how can we know if we are living in dystopian times if we don't read dystopian literature? Our book club will tackle some of the classic dystopian fiction of our time in order to educate ourselves well. Here is the working list: The Handmaid's Tale, Marga

Every year since college, thanks to my college pastor, I sit down to write a list of 100 things that make me grateful. Sometimes, it's a stretch to make the 100. Sometimes, I forget until I start to put the Christmas tree up. Either way, it's an awesome practice that I learned from Rick all those years ago. So on the end of the Thanksgiving week where all things point towards Christmas, I give thanks (in no particular order): red wine warm baths whatever these amazing cracker

My amazing partners are celebrating with me and throwing me a book release party . HOW FUN! How a Culture of Delights Starts with You was published to Amazon a couple of weeks ago. This has been a labor of love that includes all the tools I've created over the years as well as the leadership and culture lessons I've taught to leaders in business, nonprofit, ministry and missions for decades - men and women alike. I'd love for you to have a copy and walk your leaders through t

Imagine what would happen if ALL of your people loved working for you and found work to be an absolute delight? Your organization can transform into a culture of delight where employees love coming to work each day.  The secret: culture starts with you. It will take work, self-awareness and some soul-searching. Grab a pen and sit down with Angie for an experience that will change you and your leadership. Get ready for an inward journey that starts with you living a life of de

" Working with Angie was one of the most impactful experiences of my career. She helped shape not just how I lead, but who I am as a leader. Angie teaches how to be a strong business woman while always valuing people first—a balance I carry with me daily, especially now as a Chief People Officer. Her coaching is rooted in empathy, integrity, and purpose, and her faith adds such authenticity to her work. Angie is wise, grounded, and inspiring, and I’m truly grateful for all sh

Hi! I'm Angie Stryker and I am a delight guide. delight is a framework for loving ourselves soul, body, heart and mind SO THAT we can love and leaders others well. Taking time to delight is an intentional practice that takes practice and it often takes a guide. Someone to lovingly walk you through thought provoking exercises that reveal our own needs, wants, desires, passions, strengths, talents. Once a month, I offer an online book club that is really like a mini-retreat. We

LET ME EXPLAIN... In Don Miller's book, Hero On a Mission, he encourages his readers to take a look at their lives from the end of their lives. He asks us to consider - are we playing the victim, the villain, the hero or the guide? It's a fantastic book that I highly recommend. Since the book is one of the 12 books in my Book Club Year 1, we walked through the exercise of writing our own eulogies. (Or eugooglios as Zoolander puts it!) When I wrote mine I was surprised to find

Books. They generate ideas. They teach. They educate. They open our eyes to new possibilities and sometimes even new worlds. Is it possible that they can change our lives? I have found in my own personal story that I am nothing without my books. Thanks to books, I found a great desire to be an adventurer within me. Reading the pages of treasure hunts and secret fountains of life or mystery solving in far away worlds as a teen, I was birthed into the world of adventures and y
