Andrea really took the time to understand me and how I learn. She broke the soft skills into a structured and logical framework that my engineering brain could grok. This helped me build deeper relationships with my teammates and mentors. I highly recommend Andrea when anyone asks me about management coaching.

More Praise for Andrea Wedell Coaching:
"Andrea was a wonderful resource and support to me as I transitioned into a people
management role for the first time. She provided actionable tools to help me navigate
new challenges, helped me identify potential pitfalls, and was a reliable source of advice
when it came to managing my team and my relationships with peers. I was grateful that
Andrea was available as well for quick phone calls—often on short notice—between
formal sessions when I needed help working through smaller, specific issues. Ultimately
Andrea helped me grow in my role and my leadership style and I always looked forward
to our sessions."

Andrea’s depth of experience means she quickly identifies the factors at play in any situation and then she helps me to see them too. Andrea has an ease and warmth that allow for open and honest communication, and I have learned a lot about myself through our discussions. I am definitely more confident and effective in my role as a result of our coaching relationship. ”

I hope to work with her again in the future!”
