OUR PEOPLE
Andrew
Strategic Leadership & High-Performance Coach
Andrew is a leadership coach, consultant and facilitator with more than 16 years’ experience working with leaders in complex organisations, including extensive experience in Victorian government and the public sector.
He coaches senior and executive leaders on issues such as stepping into greater responsibility, leading through others, thinking more strategically, difficult conversations, accountability, stakeholder relationships and leading under pressure.
Andrew spent more than three years in organisational development and learning roles at VicRoads, including as Manager Organisational Development and Learning. During that time, he and his team designed and delivered LSI-based leadership development for 270 senior leaders and worked extensively with LSI and the Circumplex. He also developed coaching capability across the organisation. More recently, he has worked with leaders at the Victorian Government Solicitor’s Office.
Before moving into leadership development, Andrew worked as a workplace lawyer. That background, together with his organisational development experience, gives him a practical understanding of organisational dynamics, stakeholder expectations and the sometimes difficult people issues that senior leaders have to navigate.
Andrew is warm, practical, curious and appropriately challenging as a coach. He gives leaders room to think things through, but will also ask direct questions, test assumptions and offer a different perspective where that is useful. His focus is on helping people make sense of what is happening in their actual work and decide what they want to do differently.
Andrew is an accredited Human Synergistics practitioner with extensive experience using LSI. In these coaching sessions, he can help leaders explore what their LSI results might mean in the situations and relationships they are dealing with now, and identify practical areas they want to work on.
