Andre helped me immensely during our coaching sessions. He is an intuitive and insightful coach who is not afraid to challenge your thinking and initiate positive self reflection. Andre has a lot of life experience and is well suited to provide coaching services to senior leaders.
Alistair Jones – Executive Director, Economic – Department of Treasury WA
Andre, I would like to thank you for the phenomenal benefit that our conversations have had on my self-awareness and relationships with others around me. You are an insightful, understanding and very perceptive listener and I admire your skills as a coach. Since discussing my goals with you, I have been able to create and implement new approaches to achieving not only better, but more meaningful outcomes. I feel more focused, confident and relaxed in carrying out my role, and the people I work with are responding positively to the changes I have made in my approach to conversations. Thank you, once again, for enlightening me as to what I can achieve when approaching goals and relationships with genuine curiosity.
Andre is a great professional coach. His approach is calm, measured, and responsive to the needs of his clients. My experience with Andre was very positive. He listened attentively and, rather than give me all the answers, provided me with tools and time with which I could find the answers myself. A key element of his approach with me was to guide me quietly towards my own understanding of the situation and how to address it. I deeply appreciated his steady, open and honest approach to coaching.
When Andre first suggested to do a 4D-Mapping (a Social Presencing Theatre tool also used in the U-Lab) I was initially sceptical. But as he explained it to me, it made perfect sense to use this on our 38+ team. It was a small step outside our comfort zone as the outcome is not predictable and it was totally new to most of us facts and action lovers. Andre is well-considered and connected well to our diverse group of people. He created a safe, productive, positive and mindful environment. This innovative and powerful 4D-Mapping provided unexpected insights making me review my mental models. As a result I rearranged my focus points/priorities. After acknowledging the present status with its challenges and then as a second step seeing the emerging possibilities, the whole group shifted from friendly connected individuals to a ‘tribe’ of people supporting a common goal in a relaxed and open way. Thanks to Andre’s experience and refined intuition, his high systemic expertise and his deep integrity, I definitely can recommend this out-of-the-box thinking approach facilitated by Andre. Thanks Andre!
Sheryll Fisher, Managing Director – Creating Outstanding Leaders at Outback Initiatives
I looked for advice from Andre when I found myself very much challenged by facing some of my old fears. Old behaviour patterns showed up that are not in line with my integrity. After our intensive and intentional phone conversation, a significant change in me showed up: from a state of feeling confused and disempowered to a state of responsibility with new energy. A new set of actions showed up during and after this conversation for which I am grateful. The coaching with Andre enabled me to set my priorities right, to actually do the necessary shifts and achieve the breakthrough I wished for.
Andre’s experience and competency, authenticity and calming wisdom as well as his respectful interaction with me let me co-create with his help the real difference I was searching for.
Koert Jan Schonewille (MD) – Medical Officer at an Aeromedical Retrieval Service in Western Australia
I’ve worked with Andre and Fiona for the past two-and-a-half years. In my role as a leader they have delivered guidance, wisdom, totally different perspectives and taught methods for inspecting, thinking, feeling and handling of a broad spectrum of leadership issues. There has been a deep connection and trust formed within our team and their guidance has helped each team member individually, and us collectively, reach a totally new level of maturity and capability. Andre and Fiona have helped and encouraged me to confidently pursue my natural inclination to humanise my leadership style, particularly with the transfer of decision-rights to emerging leaders in our organisation. This has ultimately improved the congruence and performance of our team, which in turn gives me confidence about our ability to forge ahead into the future.
I just wanted to say thanks to you for all the tremendous support, guidance and advice you gave me through your coaching. Indeed, I improved a lot when it comes to communication and my interactions with colleagues. Merci infiniment.
