Angelique Tsang is a highly experienced executive headhunter with a passion for psychology and spirituality. By day she is a senior researcher in the Consumer and Leisure practice division of Odgers Berndtson’s London office, responsible for executing board and divisional level searches in the fashion, retail and leisure industries, while by night she leads workshops on co-creating successful relationships in work and life.
Using movies, myth, stories and songs, Angelique helps people understand the (collective and personal) unconscious and their predominant archetypal motifs in order to realize their highest potential. She explains: “This psychoanalytical part of my life is a very different world out of work where I study and now lead lectures and workshops on the human psyche, the nature of how we co-create reality in our everyday life and how we are impacted by unconscious dynamics.”
Although Angelique’s two worlds are clearly distinct, she believes they are also mutually beneficial. “I learned so much about rationality, pragmatism and goal oriented decisiveness and collaboration in the business world. I think you can transfer a lot of the success skills of business leaders into your personal life. Your personal life can be so murky. I’m bridging those two worlds. This is a message that she is keen to promote through her workshops: “There are unconscious un-useful patterns and motifs in your life that you can learn to recognize, take responsibility for and ultimately transform to lead a successful and joyful life.”
Angelique moved to London from Amsterdam in 2006 where she was working in executive recruitment at the Dutch office of Heidrick & Struggles. Before this, she was a tax lawyer, working at Deloitte as an assistant tax manager in international tax practice. She says: “I couldn’t see myself enjoying being a specialist in tax law and although it was financially rewarding it was unfulfilling. It was not an easy change - it took courage and two years to make that decision!”
Angelique read law at the University of Amsterdam. After that she studied Relational Energy Healing in the USA and finished a professional training in family constellations and organizational and leadership constellations. She is currently a pre-router in the individual training route for Jungian analysts.
