Andrea has proven skills in organization and leadership development.  Her main focus is to develop and manage collaborative consultant-client relationships that result in finding the best solution – coaching, training, or group meetings – to meet the developmental need of the organization or individual client.  She provides consulting, keynotes, and workshops on leadership impact, organizational culture and building a collaborative workplace.  Andrea co-authored The Thin Book of® Naming Elephants which was written to illustrate the need for organizations to create candid dialogue which leverages good ideas and airs bad news.

She serves as an executive coach and has built high potential leadership development programs in large organizations.  Andrea is the co-founder of the Women’s Leadership Lab (WLL) which is a unique development experience incorporating content focus sessions (Talent, Influence, Language, Trends) with individual coaching.  WLL focuses on maximizing leadership impact.

Strong facilitation skills consistently result in effective training, off-sites/executive meetings, and counseling with groups and individuals.  With her academic background in counseling, Andrea professionally facilitates emotionally charged and conflicted settings with a high degree of confidence and success.

Andrea serves on the Advisory Council for Master of Science in Human Resource Management, at the University of Texas at Arlington.  She directs the DFW Women in OD: A Developmental Forum which is designed to stimulate and invigorate organization development exposure and thinking for seasoned professionals.  

Her professional experience was developed through internal consulting work at NASA, Mary Kay Cosmetics and American Airlines. This combination of internal experiences has equipped her with an understanding of very large, complex organizations as well as fast-paced, entrepreneurial settings.  Andrea has an Organization Development Certificate (Georgetown University), a M.A. in Community Counseling (University of Maryland) and a B.A. in Psychology (Dickinson College).  She has numerous professional certifications for individual/group assessments and training sessions.
