Creating High-Performing Teams
Through Mindful Facilitation & Coaching
I help teams cultivate a culture of collaboration, commitment, and trust through the facilitation of team building offsites and team assertiveness communication training.
It’s been proven that employees are more motivated, productive, and satisfied in workplaces that prioritize opportunities for growth and professional development. With decades of experience under my belt, I’ve worked with teams around the globe that choose to invest in their leaders. My mindful training and coaching services help teams work seamlessly and cohesively to achieve their goals.
I invite you to explore my services and learn more about how I help companies transform their high-potential employees into high-performing teams.
Team Building and Offsites
Whether you’re in the storming, forming, norming or even performing stage of your team’s development, I will meet you where you are and help you take your team to the next level.
My offsite programs help teams establish the trust, relationships, processes and agreements needed to move them from wherever they are now to their fullest, most exhilarating potential.
I’ve spent many years facilitating and coaching teams and there’s one thing I know for sure—a high-performing team is one rooted in trust and bound by a commonly held vision that each person is excited about, and most importantly, committed to achieving.
However, teams like all relationships require some focused attention and work to fully blossom. Rarely, if ever, does any group of human beings come together and start performing optimally without taking some time out to work out the kinks and create solid foundations.
That’s why it’s so important to ensure that you spend just as much time working on your business as you do working in your business. When you invest the time, improved performance, accountability, and individual well-being are 100% guaranteed.

Powerful Assertive Communication Training For Leaders And Teams
Assertive communication training helps leaders and teams set boundaries, know their limits, hear and speak their truth without fear in ways that others can hear.
I’ve observed and worked with people at all stages of their careers in all kinds of organizations around the globe. Everyone bumps up against assertiveness. My understanding of the value of expert communication and especially assertive communication, in any professional setting, comes from decades of deep practice.
Training your leaders and teams in core skills like assertiveness is well worth the investment.
Employees become more motivated, productive, and satisfied in a workplace that provides opportunities for and an interest in their growth.
Assertive communication training can help in a variety of scenarios. Here are some examples:
• You’ve got a brilliant idea or strategy but can’t seem to communicate in a way that gets people to stand behind you.
• You feel as though you’re always right and speak up passionately. You voice your opinions loud and clear, but your passion is often interpreted as aggression.
• You’re conflict-averse and have trouble saying no which makes you overwhelmed and over-committed
These are just a few of the scenarios I’ve come across in my years of training, but there are plenty more where that came from!
When leaders and teams master assertive communication, they naturally project executive presence, authentic leadership, inspire others, make their voices and contributions heard, and handle inevitable disagreements and conflict masterfully.
My assertiveness communication training can be delivered as stand-alone half-day training or combined with your team offsites.

Here's what some of my offsite training clients have to say:
“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.”
— Rebecca Illowsky, Product Manager at Facebook
“In 2011, my company AMB Property corporation merged with Prologis. At that time I was in charge of AMB for Southern Europe at the head of a team of 10 or so. I became Head of Southern Europe of the new entity – called Prologis — and had to manage a team of nearly 70 staff. The merger prompted me to come into coaching with a few goals in mind:
Move the culture of Prologis to a culture of accountability, performance, and fun, build a cohesive management team that would capitalize on its experience and origin but primarily on the new opportunity of the merger to create a new company., and ensure the management team would spread the new culture to all employees.
Three years later, I must say that all three goals were reached. Andrea has been instrumental in helping me understand the culture of Prologis, how people interacted, how to manage people that were reluctant to change, how to handle critical situations that sometimes created frustrations and emotions and to keep and integrate the key managers that worked with me previously in the new organization. She also helped build this new culture within the Management team by developing Self-Awareness programs for all of us that was critical as a step toward better and stronger cohesion;
Andrea has done a terrific job not so much by providing solutions to problems but pushing me to identify the solutions so that they become obvious. She was also a good asset to help implement those solutions. Last but not least, she led a few seminars with my Management team around Corporate values, Accountability and problem-solving. The fact that she was bilingual English- French was undoubtedly a strength."

“ I highly recommend Andrea Wedell as a professional coach. I started working with Andrea about a year ago after accepting a new and challenging role at San Jose State University. Since that time, she has helped me successfully navigate personnel issues, managing up, and building a highly effective leadership team. 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. ”
— Marna Genes Senior Associate Vice President, Finance, San Jose State University
