As an executive speech coach, story performance and presentation skills coach and trainer and authentic leadership coach and trainer, I bring my abilities as a speaker, writer and performer, and my background in leadership positions, to coach my clients to bring greater presence, awareness and skill to all of their communications and actions. I am certified as a Positive Intelligence® Mental Fitness Coach/Facilitator, and certified to administer the Leadership Circle Profile 360 Assessment which provides a full picture of the balance between a leader’s creative competencies and reactive tendencies. The key to effective leadership and business performance is to lead from creative competencies.
Prior to starting my business 25 plus years ago, I served as director of public relations for Ramada, Inc. working as chief speech writer for the Chairman/CEO; as the executive director for two nonprofits; and in management, marketing and creative positions with a public relations agency, a national retail company, and an emergency medical standards organization. I have received numerous awards including The Art of the Show First Place from the International Association of Exhibition Management and the Copper Quill Award of Excellence from the International Association of Business Communicators.
As an executive coach, I’ve worked with numerous professionals — individuals and teams — who wanted to obtain greater clarity about their purpose, goals, strengths and challenges, bring forth their natural abilities and strengths, and strategize how to move forward with commitment and courage. At the core of much of this work has been supporting these individuals to embrace their humanity and challenges, and adopt a growth mindset which includes taking calculated risks. It often involves learning the skills of communicating with intention, clarity and respect. Doing this work is a profound privilege for me.
“I am grateful for the improvement I experienced coaching with Andrea. I acquired the knowledge base to continue to grow and reach my goals. I can self-correct and know what I need to do to get where I need to be!”
