Andy's Story
|
Welcome, I'm Andy. I'm passionate about fostering transformation and growth (personal and business). With over 20 years of corporate experience and almost a decade of coaching, I've been privileged to partner with and learn from thought leaders and experts across diverse fields. I also learn from my clients, executive leaders and business owners, along with their teams.
I bring a holistic approach to leadership, combining modern neuroscience, systems theory, and holistic wellness. My focus is not on quick-fix fads but on instilling a growth mindset and system that leads to sustainable change. Drawing inspiration from industry pioneers such as Amy Edmondson, David Rock, The Center for Creative Leadership, and The NeuroLeadership Institute, I help bridge the gap between knowing and doing (results). This is why I prioritize 1-on-1 coaching; most training remains theoretical and can feel too risky or vulnerable to implement or experiment alone. Like everyone, I've faced life's challenges, from corporate pressure (from our Fortune 500 parent company) to imposter syndrome. Yet, equipped with an expansive toolkit and my support network, I've been able to transform these experiences into opportunities for learning and growth. My work revolves around enabling my clients to tap into this inherent power to reshape their perspectives and drive their own growth and transformation. Away from work, my wife Katy and I enjoy time with our son Calloway who is now in college, and our daughter Paisley, who is in middle school. Whether it's embracing the great outdoors, enjoying events, or exploring new places, our shared experiences form an integral part of my personal well-being and learning. |
My career began in engineering, evolving through various roles that included seeking European acquisitions for a Fortune 500 parent company while living in Germany, leading a Global Sales and Marketing team, and being the GM of our German (European) office. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, an Executive MBA, and certifications in Neuroencoding, DiSC, The Five Behaviors, MBTI, Maxwell Leadership, and Executive/Career/Life Coaching. The most rewarding aspect of my work remains witnessing clients' personal and professional breakthroughs and observing how these transformations positively impact their teams and organizations.
My Bold Start is the culmination of almost 30 years of learning and experimenting to form what I consider the most modern and effective approach to holistic personal and business success. I focus on nurturing growth mindsets in leaders. I recognize the pressure modern corporate environments can exert, as I've lived in them, but I firmly believe there's a more effective, healthier way to navigate it. By embracing a transformational and sustainable approach to leadership, we can not only achieve better results for ourselves but also foster a more supportive, effective, and successful environment for our teams and businesses.
