I hired Andrea Graham to support me in my goals of successfully getting through an interview process for a vice principal competition. Having not ever used an Executive Coach I wasn’t sure how she would be able to support me. Andrea truly understands this process and went out of her way to learn about the Education system and the necessary professional jargon and frameworks to support leaders. She has so much experience to share in this area, was always available, scheduled regular meetings with additional time factored in if needed. She has an in-depth knowledge of the emotional intelligence characteristics and helped me recognize my strengths and areas to improve on in my star stories as I prepared for my interview. Her attention to excellence and focus on preparation increased my confidence in my abilities and allowed me to successfully land a vice principal job. I would highly recommend her coaching service to anyone who needs to fine tune interviewing skills and develop an asset based voice to highlight personal strengths in an interview situation. Thank you so much Andrea!!
Andrea’s vast amount of experience at an executive level provides her with the gravitas and courage to coach at a higher level.

While encouraging her clients to do the hard work, Andrea remains playful and supportive making the experience a truly positive one.

There were no awkward gaps in conversations because Andrea asks the questions that we should be asking ourselves. I am so grateful to have someone like her cheering me on and pushing me to be the person I know I can be.
