Motivational Speaking

Andy delivered a brilliant half day session to our extended leadership team. The focus was on leadership and coaching, and Andy took time beforehand to work with us to make sure he was as consultative as possible. He helped us uncover other challenges we were experiencing and offered useful solutions which we have all incorporated into our ways of working.

We'll definitely be asking for Andy's help again, and I'd highly recommend him to any team looking to place a greater emphasis on leadership within their organisation.

I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Andy following the outstanding session he delivered at our Care Leadership Conference in early April.

Andy’s session on “Empowered Leadership” was truly inspiring and left a lasting impact on all attendees. His ability to bring energy and enthusiasm to the room was remarkable, and it was evident that he is a master at engaging and motivating
his audience.

Several of our team members have been discussing the insights they gained from

Andy’s session and are already applying these learnings in their daily roles. The feedback from the delegates has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting Andy’s session as a standout moment of the conference. His expertise
in leadership and his dynamic presentation style made the session both informative and enjoyable.

Andy, thank you for your invaluable contribution to our conference. Your session not only provided practical leadership strategies but also inspired us to strive for
excellence in our roles. We look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you again in the future.

Andy delivered an exceptional and engaging keynote on Authentic Leadership at the launch of our General Manager Development Program. His insights were practical, thought-provoking, and truly resonated with our leaders.

His ability to connect with the audience, share real-world experiences, and provide actionable takeaways made a lasting impact. The session was not only inspiring but also highly relevant to the challenges and opportunities faced by hospitality leaders today.

A fantastic speaker—highly recommended for leadership and professional development events!

Andy was an incredible speaker and guest on my student podcast, Dysfunctional Diaries. It was a pleasure having him on and I wish him nothing but the best of luck!

Thank you so much for the 'Shift Happens' lunch & learn session. Several colleagues mentioned how insightful and interesting it was.

8 November 2024

We partnered up with Andy to deliver a leadership programme for our people managers completely virtually/remotely over a course of 5 months (including the summer break). Andy is very easy to work with, very knowledgable, friendly and flexible. He engaged both cohorts (morning and afternoon groups) virtually on every session, facilitated interesting group coaching sessions and provided one to one coaching once the programme finished. Our managers have been very complimentary of Andy and really enjoyed the training sessions. From the organisational perspective, Andy was easy to keep in touch with, and was very organised with the workbooks/sessions and all the changes we had to have due to project priorities on our side. I would highly recommend Andy for delivering training, talks, workshops and coaching. More...

Andy ran a great interactive session with out team during mental health week. The team really enjoyed it, Andy was great in getting people interacting and went over some really interesting content.

At Drest, the well-being of our team remains important. Last week, we held an invaluable Lunch & Learn on managing stress and circumventing burnout.

Andy Coley, an astute speaker, introduced us to salient concepts such as the drama triangle, the empowerment triangle, and the SCARF model. These insights provided our team with the necessary tools to navigate both professional and personal challenges with greater poise.
Moreover, the exploration of the control circle emphasised between what we can and cannot influence, fostering a more focused and effective approach to challenges.

In summary, Drest's commitment is not only towards professional growth but also towards the holistic well-being of its employees. Thank you Andy for spending time with us!

Andy is an incredible facilitator and speaker. Ahead of the event, he was active and really attentive to what our very specific requirements and aims were. He gave ample time for us to provide feedback and spoke to several team members to get the full picture. On the day of the event, he managed an extremely difficult crowd and kept the energy levels up. He also delivered a talk, which officials from different professions found helpful. I'd highly recommend Andy as a facilitator and speaker! More...

We were keen to organise NLP training for our entire team and Andy came highly recommended. After a couple of calls/meetings Andy managed to completely understand the nature of what we do as a business and how we operate as a team and tailored the session to us – which was just brilliant. Andy travelled to our offices and was incredibly flexible to make it the date and time to suit us. The entire team were engaged throughout (some attending in person and some virtually) and have received rave reviews from all. Overall, a truly insightful and interesting session with everyone taking away something that they could use or implement moving forward. Thanks Andy! More...

Thank you Andy for a really enjoyable and thoughtful provoking session this morning during our Well-being residential for GP trainees. Your relaxed, friendly style was greatly appreciated and certainly stimulated some useful discussion on prioritising resilience and well-being. As the “organiser” I was very grateful for your prompt and accommodating replies to my queries, and I will definitely recommend you to my colleagues in other schemes. Thanks again! More...

In his recent TEDx Talk, Andy Coley speaks from personal experience.

He’s lived through the hard times – divorce, lack of self-esteem, weight problems, almost taking his own life. And he’s turned his life around – working as an NLP Trainer, a happy marriage, two beautiful daughters, the support of mentors.

Andy can speak from the heart in any of these areas because he’s lived them and understands them. Guaranteed to grace any event with his warm and friendly style, knowledge, and storytelling that’s engaging and memorable.

Q&As

Leaving people with "ah-ha" moments, getting them to think differently about alternative perspectives and brining in new topics of conversation.

Once upon a time I was a web developer and in 2010/2011 I went through what I refer to as my "epic life fail" time and had to reset my life again. Walking away from a marriage of 11 years, 23 stone in weight, depressed and considering not being here at all.

Thankfully a friend of mine had trained in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and he coached me

9 months later I'd lost 32kg (5 stone) and had a purpose again, a direction, I cared about myself... and I also wanted to support others, so I stopped reprogramming computers and started to learn how to help people reprogram their own thoughts and their own minds.

Several year and a couple of awards later I am able to support and train teams, individuals and organisations, something I love doing from the stage.

You can see more about that journey in my TEDx talk https://bit.ly/AndyCTEDx

You'll get a memorable, thought-provoking event which fits in the with theme and direction you want, whilst incorporating the messages we want to deliver. Whether it's a small team training through to a keynote at a conference, I'll deliver serious topics in an accessible way that gets people thinking far beyond the hour or so I'm with you.

You, no problem - the joys of being an ex "techy" is that I am able to use Zoom, MS Team, Goto Webinar and any other platform easily enough. I've run 100+ meetings on innovative thinking and collaboration for pharmaceutical companies and high street brands this way, or Keynoted at virtual conferences. I'm also about to support you with hosting virtual events if necessary with up to 350 on some of the conferences I've supported

I always follow the relevant advice at the time and keep myself and participants safe, I test myself in the 2 days before the event and on the morning of the event with Lateral Flow tests as well.
