Leadership Development, Executive Coaching, Teambuilding, and Facilitation.
Teambuilding
“Andy worked with our Senior Leadership Team pre-pandemic and during the pandemic when our healthcare system was stressed and emotions were high. We are not a touchy-feely group and his recommendations and insight were presented in a way that was not intimating or interpreted as 'unachievable'. I highly recommend Andy if you've tried different approaches to achieve high functioning teams and have been unsuccessful in the past.”
-Melissa Strong, CNO, Mason General Hospital
Team building engagements are tailored to meet your team’s specific needs, such as improving collaboration or navigating change and conflict. Team building helps a team improve its performance and team member experience. We take an action research approach, which starts with gathering information about the team’s current state. We then work with team leadership to formulate and execute a plan that helps the team move forward in the desired direction. This often includes coaching, skill development workshops, and facilitated team discussion. Every team faces challenges and conflicts, and teambuilding can help navigate those challenges to become a stronger, more cohesive team.
Executive Coaching
"Andy has a unique ability to expore the nuances of leadership while not only building up a person or team, but also driving them forward. The support and guidance I have received from Andy in my role as CEO has truly empowered me to thrive and grow, both personally and professionally."
- Mia Abbett, CEO, Munchen Haus
When leaders and professionals seek one on one coaching for themselves or someone in their organization, it’s nearly always for one of two reasons:
1. They’re experiencing change
2. They want to create change
Whether you want help with change for yourself, your team, or your organization, the right coach at the right time makes all the difference. Without a doubt, the most important thing when choosing the right coach for you and your situation is “fit”. There are two factors to consider:
Andy is low-pressure, engaging, and disarming. He loves helping leaders develop their strengths, and also has a knack for helping leaders navigate difficult situations in realistic ways. He meets clients where they are without judgment.
He doesn't just tell people what to do, but rather helps them explore their options and work out a course of action that helps them get where they want to go. He believes that each client is that expert on their own experience, and that the role of a coach is to help develop relevant skills and awareness, not to make decisions for them.
Andy has worked as a coach and leadership development consultant for nearly a decade with executives, managers, and professionals.
Andy's background as a licensed family therapist gives him deep insight into the psychology of relationships, conflict, emotion, motivation, and change. He helps his clients to develop emotional intelligence and leadership skills in a variety of industries including healthcare, manufacturing, government, utilities, technology, food and beverage, and more.
Learning and Development for Leaders
"Andy's style helps break down barriers and opens the conversation by providing real-world examples and effective relationship practices. I whole-heartedly recommend Andy to other organizations who are intent on building a rockstar and superstar culture"
- CEO, One Energy Renewables
