If you’re looking for a traditional executive coach, there’s many to choose from.
Andrew’s approach is shaped by his unique background. A background that includes threat assessment and consultation in high-pressure situations, leadership development in small and large firms, coaching professional investors (including some of the top traders in the world) and as a successful trader himself.
Whether you’re a leader, founder, or entrepreneur, it’s likely that you focus on outputs and external data. That’s natural and supported by standard organizational and leadership concepts. However, extraordinary leadership requires going beyond the typical.
What happens inside you is important. An emotionally self-aware leader has greater clarity of thought, the ability to differentiate emotion from intuition, increased creativity, and a capacity for deeper socio-emotional connection with others.
Many leaders use outcomes as the primary measure and motivation for success. When outcomes become the sole focus, our worthiness, and our resilience, become less stable because it is mostly derived from a relationship between effort and result. Andrew sees this firsthand with professional investors who limit themselves by defining their worthiness with the ups and downs of their P&L.
The old adage of considering feelings and emotions as a weakness or an obstacle has been replaced, and supported by cutting edge neuroscience, showing that internal data, including feelings and emotions, is a valuable source of information to be understood, analyzed, but not always acted upon.
Andrew has developed an integrated model of growth for leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs that leverages our own internal data for peak performance.
Leaders highly value focus and perseverance, which has limitations. What happens if you also focus on the quality of the inputs that creates internal data? For example, asking the right question of yourself or others, at the right time, is priceless.
Integrated Development (ID) builds resilience and presence, helps us break through limitations, go beyond our comfort zone (which is how we grow), and allows us to see new opportunities, and nurture creativity in others and ourselves. Moreover, a focus on Integrated Development (ID) gives us the ability to recognize our intuition. The most effective leaders (and investors) understand how their intuition works.
