Upward To Success LLC: Promoting Diversity and Growth

I worked with Angela for several years where she was a human resource professional in healthcare. I found her expertise and professionalism so pronounced that I became comfortable with only needing updates on actions and progress. I feel confident in her ability to defuse tense situations and resolve problems with staff and executives of all levels within a complex organization. While I have just recently retired, I would hire Angela Scurry again in any needed personnel matter.

There are people in your career that truly impress you. People that if you were asked to put together your dream team, they would be on it. Angela Scurry would be on my dream team. I first met Angela as a result of a merger when our two companies joined forces back in 2006. From the beginning, what truly impressed me about Angela was not only her depth of experience and her incredible ability to get things done, but who she is as a person. Dedicated, dependable, and genuine in her concern for others. She not only understands how systems work, but how people work. She approaches situations methodically and is systems-driven, but also wants to understand the impact to people and how a company can incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of what they do. Angela is thoughtful and will provide open and honest feedback with realistic solutions in how to improve work interactions, environments, and overall processes that work for all stakeholders. She is a student of the human condition and has a genuine ability to connect with people. Her passion is evident. Angela has always made me feel valued - as an HR professional, a person, and a human being. It is how she treats everyone she encounters, from the CEO to the hourly worker at the front desk.

I would highly recommend Angela to anyone interested in building their own dream team.

Sincerely,
Diane Fowler

Angela Scurry is a leader who connects with her employees and that makes a difference in today's workplace. Her expertise in employee relations and diversity make her an asset to any team and board because she welcomes and invites those "not at the table" to have a seat. I have enjoyed watching Angela present complex concepts in an engaging way and allowing others to demonstrate their understanding. Angela would remind me to "check for understanding" and this valuable advice has held true in many settings both personally and professionally. This is a testament to Angela's approach to effective communication and alignment. She is professional, respectful, and resourceful. and... she realizes the value of humor and fun!

Angela is not just my director while working in HR for 8 years. She is a coach, an educator and a mentor who gave me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. She encouraged everyone in my team to have a healthy debate and be able to have a voice. I am truly grateful to know Angela who is someone that is independent, smart and has strong conviction and values in life.

I’ve worked with Angela for the past five years, and she has always been great to work with. I’ve worked with her and her employees on team-building events for the company. She is well respected within her organization and cared about her fellow employees. She is very detailed oriented, and her events went off without any complications.

I worked with Angela for 9 years, she is a leader and a coach, who sees, values, and nurtures potential in her team. Angela consistently connects the 'big picture' to the everyday work, and is a tireless advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. She can take a diverse group of people and mold them into an extraordinary team whose accomplishments go above and beyond.

I would like to thank Angela Scurry for giving me the guidance on developing my skills and ability to take risk, for thinking outside the box and creating my own tools box of knowledge. She also played a big part of my critical thinking competencies. Her leadership and mentoring have been a prerequisite in my Human Resources roadmap.
