Azucena Cortes
Senior Learning & Development Consultant @ LPL Financial
“I kept turning the pieces but nothing was clicking, and then finally boom, a shift.”
Andrew: Before we started working together, I knew something was off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Andrew’s mentorship and support helped me connect so many dots, many “aha” moments that pulled everything I had learned into focus.
It honestly felt like I was working on a Rubik’s cube version of my life. I knew what the finished product was supposed to look like, but everything was scrambled. I kept turning the pieces but nothing was clicking, and then finally boom, a shift. The pieces started falling into place, and that led me to empowerment.
Thank you for helping me get there. There’s still a lot ahead, but I’m so grateful to be in a place where I can finally do the work. So again, thank you.

Alyssa Gutjahr
Associate Director of Product @ NYU Langone Health
“I have clarity and confidence in my short and long term goals for the first time in my career.”
Before Andrew and I started working together, I was struggling to determine where to take my career next.
Andrew was able to help me understand and articulate what I am good at and what my passions are to clarify the best next step and industry for me to pursue. He helped me discover my transferable skills, showed me how to market myself, and motivated me to network and begin informational interviews.
After 7 sessions with Andrew, I have clarity and confidence in my short and long term goals for the first time in my career.

Max Connor
Manager, Strategy @ Deloitte
“He is empathetic in his approach but does not shy away from asking difficult questions, and in only a few hours together I felt he really knew what made me tick.”
I came to Andrew at a crossroads - knowing I wanted to leave my current job but stuck in a rut.
Andrew presented a clear plan of how he could help, and by the end of our time together I was able to confidently articulate what I was looking for in a new role and more importantly, how to present my strengths in an interview.
He is empathetic in his approach but does not shy away from asking difficult questions, and in only a few hours together I felt he really knew what made me tick.
I made an investment in myself working with Andrew and I would 100% recommend him to others looking to gain clarity in their career journeys.

Josh Brickman
Partnerships Manager @ Blink Payment
“In our first one hour session, Andrew gave me the feeling of a real path I’ve been searching for, for 6 years.”
For years I’ve been looking to exit the music industry, but have never found a way out because I’ve never found something compelling enough to compete with my passion for music and also made sense for me.
Through deep listening empathy and expertise, Andrew opened my eyes for the first time to realize my deep foundational needs, skills and passion also translate to another role/industry.
He enabled me to believe that I could actualize my potential and have all my needs fulfilled in a career outside of music.
In our first one hour session, Andrew gave me the feeling of a real path I’ve been searching for, for 6 years.
He has now shown me a new career path and given me the tools so that I can now pave a new future for myself.

Lucy Gamble
Sr. Director of Marketing Ops @ Grafana Labs
“Andrew is incredibly talented at honing in on blockers and helping me to carve a path to break through them.”
From our first meeting, Andrew has pushed me to be clear about what I want and what has prevented me from getting there.
Together, we’ve established my vision as a young executive and are now translating that vision into stepping stones on a weekly basis.
Andrew is incredibly talented at honing in on blockers and helping me to carve a path to break through them.
Even now when I am having an off week, I know I am in the game of changing my life and working to become the person I want to be by working with Andrew.
I’ve now moved powerfully into my first position as a manager, creating a new structure around both working through daily tasks and tackling complicated projects and have overall supercharged my goals and life.

Benny Zuffolini
Director of Product Design @ Pearson
“During this time I secured a promotion, scaled up my team, and received a number of comments on how I seemed to have turned a new leaf and matured into my role noticeably.”
Before beginning my work with Andrew, I was stuck. I had a lot of energy and ambition to do good work, but it was stifled by the feeling that there’s a secret rulebook on how to succeed in leadership, and that I would have to abandon some of my principles and ethics to make it.
Andrew told me that I could sit at the grown-up table and still be authentic, and for the next four months we worked together to achieve that. During this time I secured a promotion, scaled up my team, and received a number of comments on how I seemed to have turned a new leaf and matured into my role noticeably.
What was invaluable for me was having his impartial and unbiased voice, with the right expertise and experience to show me what’s behind the curtains of leadership, and extend my mindset without changing how my mind works.

“Andrew helped me … increase my energy levels (something I've struggled with for years).”
I'd been thinking about hiring a coach for some time, but hadn't found the right person. I got so much from my 1st complimentary session with Andrew that I knew that he could help me.
As a lifelong entrepreneur, I knew I wanted to build my new business in a different way and avoid the burnout I'd experienced in the past. Andrew helped me focus where I should, think through tough decisions, and increase my energy levels (something I've struggled with for years).
I wouldn't be where I am today without Andrew's help.
