I’m Andrew. I’m passionate about communication and engagement! I’m ardent about telling our best stories to the best audience. That’s how we drive progress and inspire people. Effective communication builds bonds. But ineffective communication builds barriers: Think of conference presentations that forgot focus or fun…podcasts that were 60 minutes too long…videos that lacked editing…meetings that should have been emails (and vice versa). We can fix bad connections! I build bonds by helping organizations convey their authentic selves…with style. Podcasts, videos, press conferences, press releases, newsletters, websites, social media – they’re all tools that can spur or inhibit growth. It’s an art not a science (and it needn’t be a masterpiece). Compelling, engaging communication draws your best stories and customizes them for each distinct platform. The result: team members are validated, audiences are engaged and the organization is celebrated. So let’s make better use of your people and resources! My Wheelhouse includes... – Speaker & Presenter, Moderator & Facilitator, TEDx – National B2B Magazine Publisher & Writer – Creator of Custom Content – Podcast and Radio Host – Video Host & Producer
I make people comfortable – and confident – with themselves, co-workers and strangers. As a Keynote Speaker, I entertain and inspire crowds with a refreshing, accessible take on mindfulness. As a Facilitator and Communications Consultant, I build better teams, full of coachable people. Hire me to speak at your conference, and I’ll build instant camaraderie. I create an energy that buoys the crowd and sets a tone for an invigorating event. It’s not magic, it’s not rocket science. It’s just a mix of positivity, humility and mindfulness. I remind people how easy it is to connect with others! Hire me as a Facilitator and Consultant, and I’ll help you build better teams through better communications. Together, we’ll create a shared vision and clear roles. Most importantly, everyone will understand the role they play, feel comfortable communicating within that role, and yes…be coachable.
APC/American Painting Contractor is the leading media company and business resource for professional contractors. I lead a team creating daily content that generates revenue across eight platforms – social to digital, podcast to print. • I quadrupled our platforms and tripled our audience, transforming the magazine into a multi-media influencer and the go-to source for industry professionals. • In my first year as Publisher, I guided APC to the largest revenue month in its history • Through presentations at industry events, as well as hosting our Podcast and Videos, I built a brand with personal style and substance that drew loyalty from contractors and added both depth and breadth to our audience. • I work directly with top manufacturers and retailers, like Home Depot, 3M and Sherwin-Williams, to create custom content and marketing campaigns that engage their top customers.
I created content that helped U.S. contractors guide their businesses into the information age – new best practices for effective, cost-efficient marketing; financial management practices to build profitability; and leadership and communication to boost company culture and personal satisfaction.
