Coaching
with Andrew
This is a co-created experience! Together, we’ll explore your goals, values, and strengths and discover how to use them to shape the life you want to live. My approach focuses on 3 pillars:
🧠
Attention
Your mind can be an ally, not an adversary. Pulling from decades of experience in teaching, education, and my own experience with ADHD, I’ll help you understand your attention patterns and build personalized, intuitive strategies that work for your brain.
🎨
Leadership
I help my clients develop a leadership style that feels more authentic and empowering to them. Whether you’re a first-time manager or an executive wanting to design the last chapter of your career, I guide you towards a sense of leadership that honors your unique passion, intellect, and gifts.
💪
Confidence
My ultimate goal is for you to walk through life with a deep sense of trust in yourself. My coaching gives you structured support on how to achieve your goals. Together, we’ll strengthen your ability to reframe self-doubt, make decisions with clarity, and show up fully to your work, life, and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Generally, clients who get the most out of my coaching are people who want to:
Address attention and/or self-image challenges that are affecting their work
Develop a leadership style that feels more authentic and empowering to them
Get structured support in achieving their goals in work, life, and family
Feel seen in their passion, intellect, and unique gifts
Work on themselves in a safe container, without the need to “mask” or perform
That said, I’ve worked with all types of clients, from young, first-time managers to senior executives wanting to design the last chapter of their career.
If you’re curious about working with me, I encourage you to schedule a consultation, or as we in the coaching world like to call them, “chemistry calls.” Chemistry is intangible and unpredictable, after all – we might surprise each other!
-
I’ve studied attention deeply - through my background in education, my coaching training, and my own lived experience with ADHD, which I was diagnosed with as an adult.
If you have ADHD like me, then you know it’s both a curse and a gift! Interestingly, many coaching methodologies designed for "neurotypicals" are well-suited for those with ADHD brains.
The converse is also true – many frameworks designed for folks with ADHD are extraordinarily useful for any person looking to build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with how they manage their attention.
In our work together, we’ll clarify your goals around attention, build attention management skills, and strengthen your muscle for personal accountability. Most importantly, we’ll work towards the self-acceptance that enables you to live life more fully, and allows you to see your mind as an ally to work with, not an adversary you need to fix.
To state the obvious - I don’t, nor do the best neuroscientists in the world, know exactly how the brain works. Our understanding of how attention works is constantly evolving. I am an avid student of learning the latest approaches and best practices on attention management and neurodiversity. I also lead the Case Collaboration programming committee for the ADHD Coaching Organization (ACO).
-
No! I work with many neurotypical clients. While a big part of my coaching is around attention, it’s only one part under a larger umbrella of personal improvement, leadership development, and strategic advisory.
(That said, my dad happens to be the academic who came up with the theory of Multiple Intelligences, so in some ways, I think everyone is a lil’ neurodivergent.)
-
Yes! As long as both individuals are committed to the work, I love working with couples.
First, I help you identify and build towards goals as individuals, and goals as a partnership.
Depending on your objectives and goals, I may suggest reading, experiments or inquiries more proactively. Typically, couples coaching involves more education and specific time dedicated to clarifying and expectation setting.
In couples coaching, I engage you together as a unit. This means our chemistry, intake and ongoing coaching session will be with both partners.
If we agree, we may mix in a few 1:1 sessions in between. If we decide to mix in individual sessions, we collectively commit to the degree of transparency for individual sessions.
-
Yes! Back in my corporate days, I was most energized by mentoring individuals and building teams. Before that I taught for a loooooong time and know that learning happens through interactivity and differentiated instruction. If working with a team, I’ll mix up whole group, small group and individual work. Contact me to discuss your needs and determine if my approach is a good fit.
-
Yes. Energizing and aspirational, my keynotes emphasize interactivity and engagement, with very little “sit n’ git!” Within the leadership and coaching sphere here are some examples of topics I can speak on:
How to Be an Compassionate Manager to Employees with ADHD
The 3 Key Components to Effective ADHD Management Programs
Harnessing Discomfort to Meet Your Goals
Finding Focus: Attention Management for the Juggling Parent
Inclusive Workshop Facilitation Skills for Coaches

How I Coach
My style is collaborative, dynamic, and intuitive - at least to me! Here’s what informs my coaching approach:
Education
Expertise
My style is informed by decades of experience in teaching, learning, implementing and improvising with educational theory.
Multiple Entry Points
You have many dimensions - so does learning. I use diverse strategies to draw out insights, from whiteboarding and dialogue to music and art.
“Yes, and…”
My passion for music and remix culture inspired a coaching style that’s dynamic, collaborative, and built in real-time.
Tools
I blend my improvisational style with structured frameworks and tangible tools with lifetime utility.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
My style is collaborative, dynamic, and designed to work with your brain - not against it. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
I blend structured tools with improvisation, drawing from my background in education, coaching, and music.
I’m direct, but gentle. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and care deeply about fostering safety.
I offer ideas, but I’m never prescriptive. If you want instruction-based “life hacking” or a strict accountability partner, then my approach might not be for you.
I meet you where you are each session, and we co-create a rhythm that works for both of us. If that means you need to skip weeks here and there, that’s your call. I’ll always nudge you when I think it might be impacting the work, but our pace is ultimately your prerogative.
I believe self-trust is the real goal. When I challenge your comfort zone, or poke at your deeply held beliefs that I perceive to be coming from a place of self-criticism, it’s always in pursuit of pointing you back to that ultimate outcome.
Ultimately, I strive to build a deep intuition around who you are now, and the person you’re hoping to become.
-
In some ways, this is an impossible question to answer - I’m a deeply curious person, and a student of all the things I’ve yet to learn, so I draw my inspiration from a limitless list of places!
That said, my approach is most fundamentally shaped by a mix of personal experience, professional training, and creative practices:
My career background in education and instructional design first taught me how people learn, and how to meet them where they are.
My coaching training with ICF, Co-Active, ACO, and Adaptive Leadership+ keeps my practice current and engaged with a blend of diverse, multidimensional personal development modalities.
My lived experience with ADHD and the journey of being diagnosed as an adult helped me understand the complex nuances of how attention works.
My passion for music and remix culture inspired a coaching style that’s improvisational, collaborative, and built in real-time.
My life as a parent of two children, working from home, in a small apartment in New York City, offers a daily playing field for me to practice all of what I preach, and be the best human that I can be for my family.
The final ingredient is you! I’m influenced by my clients - their passions, dedication, insights, and the deep fulfillment of doing great work together.
-
70s progressive rock. A heady, mind-driven sound combining technical expertise, theory, genre blending and texture - with plenty of space for groove, breaks and complex (ott) solos. Spans the spectrum from sublime to disgust.
(Also, before I got married, I had longer hair, and a big moustache - so I played the part.)

Testimonials
I’ve had the honor of coaching some incredible human beings. Here’s what some of my clients have shared about their experience working with me.
-
My year of coaching with Andrew was nothing short of transformative.
When I began, I was deeply uncertain about my professional identity. I was passionate about my work, but often found myself emotionally entangled, which made clear decision-making difficult. Over the course of the year, Andrew helped me move from that place of uncertainty to a state of calm, objectivity, and confidence in my decision-making.
His formal exercises were invaluable in helping me identify my own power, values, and abilities, giving me a clear sense of my professional strengths. But beyond those structured activities, it was Andrew's ability to listen deeply, pay attention to the finest details, and draw insightful connections between seemingly unrelated ideas that made the real difference. He held up a mirror, allowing me to see myself more clearly—not only my challenges but also my gifts.
Andrew approached our sessions with both structure and flexibility. He knew when to guide me through reflective exercises, and when to simply listen and reflect back what I couldn't see for myself. His approach helped me take a step back from the emotional weight of my work, allowing me to make more objective, dispassionate decisions without losing sight of what truly matters to me.
If you're looking for a coach who will help you understand yourself, your values, and your unique abilities on a deeper level, while offering practical guidance for navigating professional challenges, Andrew is your man.

I sought out a coach that specialized in supporting leaders with ADHD when I was newly diagnosed, so that I could gain new skills that would allow me to work more effectively with my brain and show up as the leader I knew I had the potential to be. This ended up being just the tip of the iceberg of my coaching journey with Andrew.
With Andrew's support, I have been able to integrate a powerful mindset shift in how I view myself as a leader, in which I am able to give myself more credit for my accomplishments and recognize the inherent worth of my unique way of thinking and processing. I've also gained clarity around my values and how I live into those values in many areas of my life, including work and parenting. Taken together, these tools have given me greater confidence to trust my instincts and put my energy toward what feels most important to me.
More tangibly, Andrew helped me identify my desire for a promotion and chart a path to get there. Along the way, he asked insightful questions that helped me define and articulate what I wanted my new role to look like, offered space to prepare for tough conversations and practice advocating for myself, and helped me stay accountable to taking the steps that would lead to success. Achieving that goal is something I would never have imagined for myself 18 months ago.
Among the things I have most appreciated about working with Andrew are his intuition, which enabled him to correctly identify my early discomfort with coaching and offer exactly the right wisdom to help me accept (and appreciate!) a messy, generative process; his incredible ability to draw connections between ideas (even across weeks and sessions); and how validating and affirming it has been to work with him.

My life was in a transitional space going into the Explorer process. After leaving a C-Suite role at a company where I worked for over 2 decades, I was waffling between going back to a full-time job or establishing a portfolio career.
Andrew and team helped me uncover and align my desires, passion, and superpowers to my future direction. The Explorer process is different. It is a multi-dimensional, personalized, process that is led by coaches that are empathetic listeners and facilitators whose only goal is to get the best out of you in every dimension of work and life. I utilized the tools coming out of the process immediately and began making career decisions that are in alignment with my authentic goals and ambitions.
I can now prioritize how I spend my time and energy going forward, confident that critical decisions align with my career and life goals. Who can ask for more out of a process?
-
There is a magic to the Adaptive Leadership+ Explorer Program. It offers a rare space to focus on ourselves, imagine new ways we can grow, and celebrate our individual superpowers. All while providing a structure that marries these insights into something practical for future action.
Andrew was a masterful collaborator in this work. He helped me to look at beliefs about myself differently. And to envision new ways to evolve into a more impactful professional, and compassionate partner.
-
The Explorer Program was the first time in my life that I took a full day (let alone two) to zoom out and think about myself, my growth, and my goals.
The idea of it was a mix of terrifying and exciting, but I'm happy to share that thanks to the disarmingly friendly way Andrew shepherded me through, I was able to quickly open up, go deep, and get true clarity.
The exercises have immediately translated into how I show up and perform at work, where I find myself more purposefully going after my goals. My colleagues have already noticed and commented on this change, so I couldn't recommend it more highly.
-
I came to work with Andrew at a critical time in my career when I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to do next in a post-pandemic world that left me feeling professionally stuck, unfulfilled, and undervalued.
During our coaching sessions, Andrew asked probing questions that helped me slow down and think about the details of the job search and interview process that I hadn't necessarily considered prior -- such as, what will it look, feel, be like on interview day? He helped me zoom in on and own my strengths, and also allowed me space to identify my challenges from an exploratory and non-judgmental lens. He helped me believe in myself when I wasn't sure I could. And best of all, I was hired for my dream job!
Andrew is attentive in his support, responsive in his communication, and attuned to the needs of his clients. I would highly recommend him as a professional coach to anyone looking to expand their work portfolio or reach for that next achievement.
