I'm Andrea, a Certified Practitioner of the EQ-i2.0®, the world's first & foremost, scientifically validated measure of emotional intelligence.
EI is a leading indictor in predicting human performance & development potential. It is foundational to all meaningful social relationships & for overcoming life's challenges.
As a CPA, CMA who dedicated 20+ years adding value to and growing within corporate finance & planning roles for large international, publicly traded and private organizations, I have always been more drawn to why we behave the way we do, and how we relate with one another, whether in leadership positions, within teams, and even among friends and family members.
It was such a purpose-fuelled drive to understand human nature and what shapes our organizational team cultures, that in the fall of 2018 I changed my career path to human resources, completing my CHRP designation by September 2020.
Leading teams throughout my career provided me with the valuable opportunity to gain first-hand insight with respect to the intersection of culture and team dynamics. Reporting to senior executive leadership team members allowed me to develop the awareness that how we meet the moment directly determines team engagement. And collaborating with peers taught me how to enter conflict productively to arrive at the best outcome, while maintaining the quality of the relationship.
The common thread in all of work, in all of life, is that how we are feeling, and the degree to which we can accurately express ourselves in a socially responsible manner that invites empathy, determines the outcome for our growth and success.
I have spent my entire adult life remaining curious about, studying and learning everything I can regarding human behaviour, neuroscience and neuroplasticity, organizational psychology, leadership theory, spirituality...whatever helps me unlock the mystery of how we are all interconnected, how we motivate and influence one another with our energy and intention, which is directly applicable to successful life and work outcomes.
I have come to understand partly from learned experience and partly from applied theory that everything we think, say, and do is a reflection of our worldview; the lens of perception that provides the filter through which we experience the world.
Emotional intelligence influences the outcome of every life experience.
It turns out that 100% of all peers, reports, leaders, customers, clients, and investors are human. This truth extends to our family, friends, and neighbours as well.
People do not operate at the level of policies, controls, processes, reporting and data. We never have. We operate at the level of feelings and emotions.
Understanding our emotions is the gateway to self-awareness and empathy, which require vulnerability. And vulnerability is the foundation for courage, truth, and integrity...at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
It's that simple.
We all have places in our lives, or in our careers, where we are either blocked, or feel we have reached a plateau. Working together to boost your self-perception, self-expression, and the quality of your relationships through enhancing your EI, we will identify those blocks and find ways for you to overcome them.
Our lives and our careers are full of opportunities. Yet sometimes there is a gap between where you are, and where you want to be. I help you advance your EI skills to understand your emotional impulses and master your emotional responses, to positively affect the impact they have on you and others. The more self-aware you become, the better you will be at accessing your authentic power.
When you choose to pursue a life or career dream, you need a plan to make it come true. I help you develop a specific strategy aligned to you and your values. Once you have a plan, I will also guide you through the execution phase to achieve it.
We will work together to empower you to be your best self in all aspects of your life. I will provide you with personalized, meaningful, insightful feedback to help you reach the fullness of your authentic power and potential.
Life can be stressful. I will help you simplify your life, realize your goals, and strengthen your EI skills to develop the confidence, self-awareness and perspective you need to overcome life‘s challenges.
I will provide you with feedback and guidance to maximize your personal and professional relationships. As you become more self-aware through the conscious practice of EI, and learn to master the power of presence and awareness, you will have more to give to yourself and to the important people in your life.
A dedicated, personal coach can support you in finding and thriving in your life and career path. By building a relationship with my clients, I help you stay focused and on-task, motivating you toward achieving all of your immediate and long term goals.
I help you level up your emotional intelligence — a distinct combination of emotional and social skills that can be mapped theoretically and empirically to effective leadership competencies, strategic decision making, and to overall performance.

I help you level up your emotional intelligence — a distinct combination of emotional and social skills that can be mapped theoretically and empirically to effective leadership competencies, strategic decision making, and to overall performance.
This is how you achieve the unlimited possibilities of your potential, through enhanced self-awareness, essential for uncovering emotional blindspots.
Each of us is born with a custom emotional operating system (eOS). Without sufficient self-awareness to name and understand what is happening inside of you, it's impossible to effectively meet the moment in front of you.
You become empowered to amplify your performance and the quality of every relationship in your life by developing the emotional and social literacy required for self-awareness.
