Hello
Welcome
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.
About Me
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.
