Andrew Norris - Helping you to get clarity, get motivated and get moving to achieve what you want out of work and life.
Bio
Andrew’s specific expertise is in people and communication. His early training as an actor equipped him with the knowledge, skills, psychological curiosity and insight to work with managers and leaders on both a cerebral and emotional level.
Andrew has always been curious about the fact that in life we will practice mock questions before taking an exam but hardly ever practice before having an important conversation, team meeting or presentation. We just concentrate on what we're going to say but not how we're going to say it. Research tells us though that how we position and communicate our message will have the greatest impact. So, among a plethora of coaching styles he uniquely uses behavioural psychological theory coupled with ‘live’ skills practice and feedback to enable coachees to understand the subtleties of their own and others’ communication styles so you can get your message to land how you would like to.
Andrew works with all levels of leaders and specifically enjoys working with new managers (often called the accidental managers!) who have been promoted on performance and not how they manage people. Andrew can help bridge the gap between the two and help new managers engage and communicate with people more effectively to get stuff done!.
Andrew is degree educated, is an ICF certified coach and holds practitioner status for the DiSC, MBTIÂ and Hogan Suite psychometrics.

As a middle manager you are the lynchpin of the organisation; making sure that those above and those below work together in perfect harmony. Easier said than done isn't it?! In fact, you are often called the "squeezed middle" and with good reason. So why not give yourself some space to pause and reflect on how you can thrive in your role.

All of us will have to present, do an elevator pitch and speak in public at some point in lives, so it makes sense to invest some time into practicing how we can be best version of ourselves. I am a trained actor and have worked with lots of different organisations helping people to communicate with confidence.
