As 2021 comes to a close, I'm reflecting on the year that's been and above all, am filled with a sense of gratitude. I am grateful to be here and to do this work with so many of you, to seek better ways to lead, to connect, to communicate in this crazy, ever-changing world we live in.

PART OF THE GREAT RESIGNATION? I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
If you’re leaving your job as part of the great resignation to go off on your own, and you’re interested in working on issues around leadership, culture and communication in the future, I’d love to hear from you.
The great resignation is real, and forecast to continue into 2022. Lots of people are leaving for many reasons, but high among them are dissatisfaction with internal culture and communication in their current/former jobs. Big change is on the horizon and we are the ones who get to shape what it looks like.
If you want to be a part of making a shift, I’m putting together a group of great thinkers and doers. Let’s collaborate, learn from each other, and make some positive change in 2022. Ping me and let’s chat.

HIGH-IMPACT, INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS WORKSHOPS
In 2022, I am leading two different communications and leadership workshops for organizations globally. Each of these is specially tailored to your organization and is interactive, offered in-person or via ZOOM. They last anywhere from 90 mins to three hours.
I've hosted about 50 of these over the last year, and would love to bring them to your organization.
Leadership Communication at Scale, and Mastering Conflict and Hard Conversations
Leading and Communicating Successfully in a Hybrid (Part Virtual, Part In-Person) Work Environment
Praise for our workshops:
"This workshop was AMAZING - thank you so much for bringing it to us. Best 2 hours I've spent in training all year. Efficient, effective and Andrew was incredibly personable and easy to learn from."
"Thank you for training -- we received a really positive response from it and people loved how you made it so relatable."
"This was great. I wish every senior leader in our company would go through this training."
Let me know if you'd like to talk about how we might bring some of these ideas and practices into your own work.
