heart as big as the voice

Hi, I’m Andrea.

I’m a loud, professional troublemaker who sees opportunity everywhere.

I’m also an executive coach dedicated to helping people find their voice so they can do big, important, meaningful things.

I launched Andrea Holland coaching in 2012, and it was totally by surprise. What started out as a volunteer opportunity to help someone do a news interview they were terrified to do, wound up with me launching an entire coaching business 8 hours later. Yeah, it was exactly like that.

But, I had the chops for it. Prior to launching, I had spent 12 incredible years of my career learning how communication and leadership works:

• I had traveled internationally interviewing leadership experts on their most compelling experiences; people like: Marshall Goldsmith, Stephen M. R. Covey, and leaders at American Airlines, Ford Canada, The Economist, U.S. Olympics, U.S. Army and more.

• I had worked as a morning radio DJ and freelance reporter, and also behind the scenes coaching leaders and everyday folks on how to bravely tell their stories of wins, failures, hardships, adventure and more so they could make an impact on others. 

• I wrote. A ton. News releases, news articles, award-winning marketing campaigns, speeches, websites, bios, resumes. (My hand hurts remembering all my field journals and notebooks!)

• I was on the grind; a voracious student of life and leadership. 

But, I had one big problem: as impressive as I became at helping others find their voice by getting confident and clear on their messages and ideas, I felt totally insecure in my own voice.

…And, I knew I wasn’t alone. I knew that other people - strong, amazing, accomplished and ambitious people - also suffered from the same challenge.

That realization fired up a passion to more deeply understand and commit to practicing personal and professional leadership techniques. I wanted to more intimately know about the communication processes, mindsets, strategies and techniques that created better relationships, greater confidence, and bigger opportunities in life and business.

Today, I’ve coached thousands of professionals and teams.

(It honestly feels so kick-ass to be able to say that, that I get goosebumps writing it.) I’m proud to say that people call me “coach” and that I’ve served as their driving force in winning the title, getting the raise, earning the key accounts, raising the dollars, leading the change and more. 

My goal is simple: to stand with you as you find your voice and cultivate your greatest potential. I want to plant seeds with you and watch as you profit from growing your confidence and skill as a leader and relish the freedom you’ll earn from it. 

Be the first to recognize your greatness, and then share it with the world. No one else can do it for you, but I can show you how to get it done. I hope we meet soon.
