I’ve been writing and giving seminars since childhood. At six I had my younger brother perform plays I’d written, bribing him with candy and favors, then I’d critique his performance. Later my style became gentler, more compassionate. Being a survivor of the school of  hard knocks, I wanted to encourage others, so taught English and Drama to high school kids at risk. In the late ’80’s I started my own company, Angela Jackson Seminars, giving workshops on conflict, stress, and communication skills. I’d developed amazingly effective tools to deal with anger and wanted everyone to have them, so I wrote a book, Celebrating Anger, which became an International Best Seller.
