I gained the confidence to put myself forward for new opportunities at work, started utilizing my available time better, and learned the benefits of adopting a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset.

Andrea coached me for a few months last year. The best part of our sessions was that I received external accountability which helped motivate me to get back to my daily routine, add more structure into my day and take some action.

I would recommend speaking with Andrea to anyone looking at career development or to brainstorm for personal development. She is very friendly and adaptable to different ideas.
