Angie Mercier

Leadership Coach

Angela (Angie) Mercier is a seasoned leader, educator, and coach who believes deeply in the untapped potential of every individual. With a foundation built on high trust, unwavering optimism, and an extremely intuitive approach, Angie has a rare ability to see things in people that they may not yet see in themselves. Her service-oriented leadership and lifelong commitment to learning form the cornerstone of her coaching philosophy: fostering supportive, inclusive environments where personal and professional growth are not just possible, but realized.

Angie brings over three decades of professional experience to the table, having dedicated 31 years to the field of education, culminating in her role as a respected Superintendent of Education, from which she "retired" in 2021. This extensive background, coupled with her Master’s in Education and completion of the Ontario Supervisory Officers Executive Leadership Program at the Rotman School of Management, provides her with a robust, proven framework for mentorship and transformative leadership. Recognizing that her passion was far from retired, she shifted her focus entirely to a purpose-driven, passion-fuelled life in coaching.

Today, Angie is living out that purpose as the Co-founder of Thrive and Rise Academy. She is on a mission to create a positive and safe community of leaders who feel supported to be well and thrive every single day. A lifelong learner deeply committed to wellness, clean living, and longevity, Angie is dedicated to becoming a higher version of herself—a commitment she extends to every client. Guided by her core values of love, faith, joy, service, and connection, she inspires individuals and organizations to lead healthier, more vibrant, and sustainably successful lives.
