When you find yourself at a cross-roads unsure which way to go.

When so much is going on but you feel helpless and ashamed.

Taking control of your emotions and feelings, seeking the advice and support you need recognising that the 'home' with your loved ones is the best place to regain your strength, sense of direction and hope.

Leadership is a skill, NOT a position

During this talk I challenge the conventional notion that leadership is reserved for those at the top of the ladder. This session is a call to individuals at all levels, demonstrating that leadership is an accessible and vital skill, irrespective of one’s position in the hierarchy.

The keynote delves into the essence of what makes a true leader. We explore how effective leadership stems from a set of skills such as emotional intelligence, effective communication, empathy, decision-making, and adaptability, rather than from authority or title.

Through real-world examples, attendees will see how these skills can be developed and applied in various contexts, from professional environments to personal scenarios.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

Shift happens! (yes the f is supposed to be there)

Do you love change? How about your team? When change occurs, people can either fear it or run with it, often the fear comes from either what we don’t know… or what we make up in our heads about what we think is going to happen. Andy’s talk discusses how you deal with change, and the power that change has, especially small changes that very soon add up.

Whether it’s mindset, behaviours, emotional shifts or connecting with the benefits from changes, Andy’s interactive and thought-provoking talk can really add to your conference, workshop or away day and give you strategies to help you and those you work with to embrace changes, whether they are those you have chosen or those that have been thrust upon you.
