About me.
Andy Powell.
Performance Coach.
I think I've always been a kind of a coach. If that makes sense. I always wanted to help other people. Thats what gave me the biggest joys in life. I love seeing others achieve, and to be part of that is special.
​
I've spent the last 20 years as consultant helping individuals achieve professional and organisational success. The most valuable times are when you get to work with someone on a one-to-one to make a breakthrough, build something exciting and change the course of their journey.
​
Since I had kids, this became even more important to me. Watching them figure it out for themselves, and just guiding them when they need it is the most empowering of feelings.
​
Anyone who has worked with me knows that I'm an optimist. I'm positive. I'm creative. I love a good problem to get stuck into - no matter what shape or size it is, and I love to collaborate on that problem even more. I'm a creator.
​
I love being with my family. I love watching and playing sport. Being active is important to me. It keeps me fresh.
​
My passion is sport, and always has been for as long as I can remember. I'll play or watch anything, I'm fascinated with improving performance, and how much of that is influenced by mindset - both on and off the pitch.
​
MY VALUEs.
COLLABORATE.
have fun.
Be Positive.
I'm a big people person - and I believe that when we come together with others, big things can happen. Coaching is a collaboration, and it sparks ideas and breakthroughs that just don't happen when we get stuck in our own head.
We're here for a good time, not a long time. So have as much fun as possible. Recognise the things you love, that make you the happiest, and do those things as much as you can. Keep it light, even when its dark.
Look for the positive in everything. Even if it all seems so difficult, or gloomy. There will be something in there, however small, that you can look at and take some positivity from. Push that positivity on others.
LEARN FROM FAILURE.
It's hard. You're not gonna get it right all the time. If we're not trying new things that might not work out, we're probably not growing. Own up when something doesn't work, reflect and learn from it. Share that learning with others.
embrace the impossible.
Think big. When someone says it's impossible - get interested! Big things happen when we stop believing they can't, and start believing they can. Take the leap and see how high you can make it.
create the future.
Build the thing you're dreaming of. Look forwards. Don't wait for it to happen, make it happen. Embrace the vision you have and where you want to be. Take the action to get there.
