A few quotes from previous clients:
“Andrew White is one of the visionary voices in the field of personal and organisational transformation”
Amy Elizabeth Fox
Chief Executive Officer Mobius Executive Leadership and organiser of the Next Practice Institute Conference
“Andrew has the rare ability to marry thought leadership and academic rigour with the confidence and dexterity required to consult with and advise senior leaders and have meaningful peer to peer conversations with them about the greatest strategic challenges that they are facing.”
Jim Carrick-Birtwell Founder & CEO, Future Talent Learning
“Andrew was part of a skilful and expert coaching and facilitation team who worked closely with us over a period of months in an exercise to help refresh the company’s vision and strategy. By bringing the latest thinking in leadership and strategy development, as well as a deep appreciation of the importance and meaning of being purpose-driven, Andrew quickly won the trust and the confidence of Unilever’s leadership executive, never being afraid to challenge assumptions or old orthodoxies. As such, he played an important role in helping us to define and evolve our mission of being a purpose-led, future-fit company, as captured now in our Unilever Compass”. Alan Jope
Chief Executive Officer Unilever
“My coaching programme with Andrew has been a rewarding and helpful experience... a journey actually. I have learned to value my achievements more and be more comfortable in my own skin. Something that I have never found at all easy. It’s made me more thoughtful in decision making and even more relaxed in making decisions. Not what I had expected.” A senior leader in the insurance industry
“Andrew taught me to find personal space and switch off using some meditation techniques. As a person who never sits down this was a real personal benefit. It was all very enjoyable.”
