Andre helped me find and hone superpowers I had no idea I possessed. After my first year of coaching, I received the following comment in a peer review: "Taylorโ€™s evolution into a strong leader, one who makes the right calls when itโ€™s tough for others to do so, has truly been one of the greatest wins for our organization all year." This experience has undoubtedly multiplied my skills as a leader.

My time with Andre was so incredibly valuable that it is challenging to summarize its impact in just a few sentences. I observed significant and continuous improvement in my career development and growth. From working through challenging management questions and situations to workshopping public speaking and presentations, each session proved both tactically and philosophically helpful in my role as an executive. I cannot overstate the profound growth I experienced in working with Andre. My boss has consistently provided rave reviews on various deliverables since my coaching.

Andre has been a great coach, advocate, and thought partner. He has made the entire coaching process very approachable. He is an excellent listener, consistently asks thought-provoking questions, and provides valuable recommendations to extend my learning between sessions. My time with Andre has helped me better prioritize my work, focusing not just on what is urgent but on what is truly important, and has also helped me appreciate the value of "play" and building in time to let my mind wander to unleash creativity and those "aha!" moments. I always look forward to my sessions and come away feeling refreshed and inspired.
