Senior Project Manager

Working with Andy was transformative. He brought a diverse toolkit and adapted his approach with impressive precision considering I was in a startup within a fairly new industry. What stood out most was how he helped me shift from tactical delivery to a more strategic mindset – particularly in how I approach KPIs and engage with senior stakeholders. His coaching challenged my assumptions and helped me reflect on my own leadership style.

A standout moment was when we explored the underlying ‘why’ behind one of our programmes. His guidance in that session not only helped me reframe the problem but also resulted in clearer messaging that resonated better with leadership. I left every session with something practical to apply.

If you’re looking for someone to stretch your thinking and support genuine professional growth, I’d highly recommend Andy Thomas.

Strategic Operations Leader

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andy over the past three years, initially through the transformational support provided by Sharing in Growth, and later through invaluable 1:1 executive coaching.

While Andy made a real difference in helping transform the operations for the SiG beneficiary, it was the future coaching sessions in my current role that had the most profound impact on me personally. He gave me the tools and confidence to step into new responsibilities, offering not only operational insight but also acting as a trusted sounding board. His coaching style strikes the perfect balance between strategic guidance and personal support, helping me navigate both professional and personal challenges.

Thanks to Andy’s support, I’ve grown significantly and succeeded in my role as a senior manager. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any business or individual looking for meaningful transformation and/or leadership growth.
