Andrew has coached hundreds of leaders and leadership teams to become the best version of themselves and to scale their companies. He has international experience with clients from Asia, Australasia, the United States of America (USA), Europe, The Middle East, and Africa.
Not only has Andrew worked across geographical locations and cultures, but he has also transformed and developed leaders across industries, including the airline industry, software and hardware companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, professional services, banking, finance, manufacturing, hospitality, and travel.
Perhaps his flexibility and agility are because whilst he lives in Portugal; he is British by birth, Australian by passport, managing director of a Singaporean company, and Brazilian by wife!
Andrew is a highly engaging, informative, and inspiring speaker. He has spoken on stages around the world to audiences as large as 12,000 but can also connect via video conference from his fully equipped studio in Portugal.
His passion for self-leadership, seeing options, and seizing opportunities began early in his career. Qualifying as a physiotherapist in 1982, and after working in a London teaching hospital, Andrew began to work with athletes and sports teams. Curious about what makes the difference in human performance, he engaged in further studies, including acupuncture, hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, neurosemantics, and coaching.
These disciplines formed the early framework of his self-leadership model. Whilst studying leadership at the University of Western Australia, he was struck by the need for a practical and behavioral approach to personal mastery and leadership.
After low-cost, high-volume gyms disrupted his fitness and wellness business in 2000, Andrew committed to full-time coaching, writing, and speaking. He was hired by the young CEO of a software company, Orbis Mandatum, to coach him and his executives. The CEO’s review speaks to two of Andrew’s values, transformation, and impact, ‘The results were transformational and contributed to extraordinary business results.’
A contract to teach coaching for Singapore Airlines saw him to relocate to Asia in 2004.
He was the President of Asia Professional Speakers Singapore (APSS) from 2015 to 2016, is a TEDx speaker, and has been external faculty for Singapore Management University’s Women in Leadership and Executive Education programs.
