For the last few months, I have had the opportunity to work with Andria Gillis. Like many others, I was starting to feel stuck or uninspired. I was feeling like I was at a crossroads. And if there is one feeling that makes me uncomfortable, it is the feeling of not knowing what I want to do next because that feeling so rarely happens with me. I’m always the girl with the plan, the back plan, and the back-up to the back up plan! Andria created space for me to truly drive home what I have always known about myself - what I do and what I am passionate about are not the same.As a result of that “revelation”, I am making plans to walk down new paths where the roads that lead to my passions and what I do will finally meet. My spidey senses tell me that the journey is going to be magical. - M.G.

“Well, that was suprisingly helpful” - new manager

I am more self aware in my communication style with my team and other leaders, practice active listening, I am self advocate more and the level of self awareness that I have now compared to when I started is night and day. I feel like I have grown night and day since starting coaching! This has been one of THE most beneficial things I have ever done for my career. Mid-Level Manager, Consulting Firm

Your true gift is keeping me laser focused on what’s truly important in my business.

Andria was really supportive and flexible to take discussions in areas where I needed help. She challenged me constantly to think through and helped me structure very actionable goals, messaging and steps which was extremely helpful.

- Senior Manager, Consulting Firm

Andria empowered our team with listening insights, intelligence and tools - what we learned is now guiding our team vision! Bravo, Andria!

Andria has been a beacon of light during a very challenging time professionally and personally. Great, effective coaching involves listening, supporting and, more importantly, moving one forward productively and confidently. After three months of working with Andria every week, I have more confidence, I make better decisions for my life, I have focus and the courage of my convictions. Andria’s tools and exercises have stayed with me and when I sometimes stumble - we all do - I am able to get back up, course correct that much quicker.
Andria has ultimately helped me be happier with myself, happier in the present while realizing my goals. It’s the greatest gift.
Thanks, Andria!

We brought in Andria from People Lab to do a full-day strategic planning session with our STEAMLabs team. It was valuable for our team to connect with purpose as we navigate through significant transitions in our organisation. Andria’s coaching approach to facilitation kept us on track, resourceful, and resulted in some key discoveries and insights. Since then, we have expanded Andria’s role to include regular executive coaching and high-level planning as well as support for the growth and transition of our organization. The results are a more focused and engaged team, working together to fulfill our mission.
- Andy Forest, Executive Director, STEAMLabs

We wanted to find a way to look at how kindness and compassion fits into our organization.
We turned to the People Lab to look at our Centre in ways we haven’t done before. She helped us define how we can implement and ensure Kindness and Compassion exists within our organization.
She helped us define areas in which we could incorporate change and provided us with great tools to assist in the ongoing process of ensuring Kindness and Compassion lives on in our organization.
Andria continues to support our program; she is one of the best investments our organization has committed to.

Working with Andria was the best investment I made in myself in the past 5 years. During my transition from upper management to Executive Director, Andria’s clear headed, authentic approach provided the space and clarity I need to pursue new opportunities and align my values and career goals.
-M.M. Executive Director

Self-advocacy: I am not timid when it comes to vocalizing what I need or communicating what it is that I need.
Self Awareness: I have a deeper level of insight and understanding of why I do things and how to engage with others, based on my own behaviors and how they are communicating.
Networking: I have new relationships with people outside of my immediate group at work, something I never would have done prior to this program!
Confidence: I have more of it now! - Chloe, Mid Level Manager, Consulting
