What people are saying
“Andrew is able to quickly demonstrate credibility with audiences, using his warmth, effortless humour, energy and flexibility in the moment to connect with people and hold their attention.
I recommend him wholeheartedly due to his particular strengths in shaping learning design to deliver maximum impact; translating that into how he engages people with complex concepts such as demonstrating values and behaviour change; and lastly the fact that he’s a really nice guy and a pleasure to be on a team with.”
— Diana Barea, Managing Director Strategy; Lead for Talent & Organisation Practice, Accenture UK&I
“Andrew and I worked on several projects together at PA.
Andrew was a great colleague and consultant, bringing strong learning design skills, brilliant, effortless facilitation and coaching skills and a natural way of connecting with clients and leaders.
He uses humour very effectively - you can't help enjoying his company! I thoroughly recommend Andrew for behavioural change work.”
— Clare Roberts, Managing Consultant, PA Consulting
“Andrew is well grounded in coaching & mentoring tools and techniques, but more importantly is able to build strong relationships with a diverse, sometimes difficult groups of people.
He has an excellent balance of the theory and the practical, along with a good dose of humour, which works very effectively. I very much enjoyed working with Andrew and would wholeheartedly recommend him.”

Coaching
Format: Individual or team coaching can range from a single reflective session over video conference to a series of face-to-face sessions, working through a personal, or business goal.
Approach: I focus less on models and theory and instead on want you want to achieve; be that in an individual or team coaching context.
It’s about very focused interventions that move you forward in a specific and valuable way.
I base success on your terms, but for me it’s about making a measurable positive difference in your working life or your team’s performance.
Recent clients include: RBS, Deutsche Bank, Novartis and Network Rail senior leaders.
Facilitation & training
Format: I deliver workshops, events and virtual instruction for groups of any size, either alone or as part of a faculty. Areas I specialise include:
Leadership development (at all levels)
Salesforce development (technical & behavioural competencies)
Change management (leading change & transformation)
Management core skills
Behavioural & culture change programmes
Consulting skills
Coaching techniques
Large conference & events MC
Approach: I combine my 25+years of experience with huge amounts of preparation, flexibility and high energy to optimise engagement and deliver measurable results.
Recent clients include: HM Treasury, NHS, M&S, RBS, the FCA and Accenture.
Learning design
Format: I design creative and impactful blended learning programmes that combine practical skills takeaways with experiences that embed new actions and behaviours.
Approach: Using powerful design methods developed with adult learning specialists over many years, I design high energy experiences and digital learning resources ‘in the flow of work’ that access different learning styles whilst delivering high contextual relevance.
Combining behavioural science and modern delivery methods, my goal is focused on producing real performance improvement not just delivering content.
Recent clients include: Allianz, Roche, EE, Deutsche Bank, Lloyds Register, The National Trust.
About me
Qualifications
I’m an ILM qualified coach (Distinction) and have a CIPD qualification.
I am also qualified in the use of several assessment tools and psychological concepts such as EQI (emotional intelligence) and NLP (neurolinguistic programming).
Experience
I’ve spent most of my career as a senior leader in corporate learning and development with big consultancies such as Accenture, PA Consulting and AchieveForum (now Korn Ferry), working with global leaders across financial services, life sciences, energy, government, travel, retail and leisure.
I’ve facilitated hundreds of training programmes all over the world, face-to-face and virtually and MC’d conferences and events for as many as 400 people at large, high profile venues such as the Excel in London.
Approach
I focus on building the kind of client relationships that deliver practical, tangible outcomes for participants based on a clear set of objectives.
It’s about engagement through insightful questioning, active listening and positive challenge that takes the thinking to another level. I’m interested in helping you hit your specific goals, not just about trying to establish long running relationships.
Meet me
I specialise in coaching and facilitating C-suite leaders and senior leadership teams from small hi-growth start-ups to some of the largest, most complex global organisations, often in the most challenging contexts.
