Coaching Starter

With his calm and ability to listen, Andy was able to enlighten me and give me tools at the right time.

As a product manager, I have multiple challenges, including growing a team, carrying the product vision and strategy, and generating impact for customers.

Andy has helped me to structure my ideas, to consider each individual on my team as a whole, and at the same time, to take care of myself. In difficult moments, he helped me reduce stress, better manage my emotions and say what was important to me with honesty.

I now feel more self-determined and mature.

Andy was a great help in meeting my professional challenges. His support enabled me to better understand my role as coordinator within a new organisation, thus avoiding the imposture feeling, linked to technical tasks that I didn’t master.

His support also helped me deploy new HR tools and processes. Thanks to him, I gained confidence and clarity, bringing a clearer vision to my team. Andy analyzed the different situations with great finesse and quickly understood the issues at stake for me.

I wholeheartedly recommend Andy’s services for his expertise and effectiveness.

I’m Gonçalo Durão, an Engineering Manager at Mollie, and I can’t emphasize enough how Andy’s guidance has transformed my leadership journey. Leading a team comes with its share of challenges, and he helped me start by understanding myself better, addressing the Imposter Syndrome, and walking the walk.

Andy’s knack for asking the right questions during our sessions was invaluable. It pushed me to dissect team-related situations, ultimately finding solutions within myself. Even though he seemed to have the answers, Andy wisely let me discover them independently.

The result? I’m now less stressed, calmer, and more in control. The coaching support empowered me to gain perspective and effectively analyze situations.

One suggestion to anyone taking coaching: sometimes, it’s okay not to have a specific agenda for a session. Regardless, every session is beneficial.

I took coaching to better manage my emotions and improve my communication skills – in general and in difficult situations. Both in my personal and professional life, I think I’ve made progress, and the people around me tell me so.

I’m really delighted to have been able to benefit from this coaching programme and glad to have had Andy as my coach. He’s a good listener, available and pragmatic, and I appreciated the quality and sincerity of our discussions. I would definitely recommend him.
