Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It’s simple: inspire, educate, and let’s change this world!
In today’s episode, Jeff welcomes guest Andrew Anderson, an executive coach who works with his clients to determine why they struggle in their personal or professional lives. Over the 9 years and 700 clients Andrew has coached, he has found that a business will only grow to the extent the business owner does. This is why it’s so essential for people to get to the roots of transformation in their lives to embrace change and progress. As a coach, Andrew takes a holistic approach when speaking with individual clients to uncover how fulfilled they are in each facet of their lives.
Andrew shares that his coaching business began 10 years ago in his parent’s basement. He was at the height of his career as a high school teacher and a father of two beautiful daughters when his wife decided to separate. At this point, Andrew felt that he had failed and could not be redeemed. What was the end of his teaching career was also the beginning of his career as an author, speaker, and coach. Andrew takes pride in helping pull others out of the dark place he once found himself in. Despite the challenging world we are living in, Andrew notes that he and his client are playing to win and be proactive.
Next, Andrew shares the pivotal moment when he realized he wanted to write a book after he had sworn off writing forever. The book is entitled Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow, a metaphor for the oak-like strengths of courage we all possess. His book teaches readers how to find their life’s mission that will drive them forward to live a life of longevity like an oak. The willow is a complementary force that can bend in a storm without breaking. This metaphor teaches us compassion, humility, and grace for ourselves and others when we fall short. In closing, Andrew identifies a few game changers that have helped him immensely along his journey. Finally, he shares that being a game changer means owning the game.
