Andy Coley

With my original background being in high-tech computer firms and city banks, I have also been involved as a Director in a number of smaller companies over the last 20 years, mainly in IT and internet sales. During my business career I have found that having a flexible approach is key for your own life as well a within business and yet a number of years ago found myself on that stress and anxiety hamster wheel where nothing seemed to go right. This is when I developed my passion for training, facilitating and coaching. I stopped blaming all around me for what was going wrong and took control. It was fascinating that all it took was me, right then, to decide to make the changes for me. It was amazing how that simple change in mindset made massive changes in all areas of my life.

Since then I have been developing my own skills, enhancing those I already clearly had and then passing on this belief change to others. In 2013 I co-founded Beyond Training Solutions with Jo Creed and we helped to guide people towards finding their own solutions; be that a corporate management team, a group of attendees on a workshop or someone who came to us for personal development.  I left that business in 2021 to focus on my in-house training and speaker work.

In early 2022 I had the opportunity to appear on the TEDx stage at the inaugral TEDxLewisham (https://bit.ly/AndyCTEDx) as well as working with several muti-billion dollar companies both in person and virtually to support their teams in applying NLP principles and tools.  In July 2023 I was awarded TEDx Speaker of the Year at The Speaker Awards for my talk the previous year.

I am also on the Master Trainer track with INLPTA, embarking on upgrading my own NLP knowledge and expeirence under the guidance of Reb Vele, Dr Henrie Lidiard and Wyatt Woodsmall

Watching those lightbulb moments as people realise that all it took was a shift in their own thinking to achieve what they wanted and helping direct and focus that light towards an outcome is why I do what I do.

I have a unique perspective on situations from large organisations through to individuals and this combined with my experience on a personal and professional level means I really enjoy helping others to change, for the better.
