We believe it’s important for you to be clear-eyed about who you learn from, so we’ve created a timeline of the major events in Andrea’s life over the last 20+ years. In this way, we hope you can decide, at a glance, if she’s someone you feel confident and comfortable learning from as you pursue your most cherished desires.

Andrea’s leadership is signature blend of tenderness and bite…

Andrea is a visionary business and life coach who guides exceptional clients to the success they seek, while championing them to become more and more uniquely themselves.

Her coaching is said to be a blend of tenderness and bite, and is one of her most celebrated abilities. By using metaphors from YOUR life, she builds a bridge from what you know, to what you want to understand. Reading, listening to and working with Andrea, you can expect to shorten your learning curve by months, and even years.

The uninhibited generation of value…

Andrea’s name is one of the most-trusted brands in the coaching and self-help marketplaces and she serves as creative partner to thought leaders representing the best in entertainment, politics, academia, therapy, philanthropy, spirituality and more. Andrea is a maximize. She identifies ‘isolated assets and connects them in a way that creates value.

“Creating something of value out of nothing, like gold from straw, is the ultimate opportunity for entrepreneurs.”

From No Shoes to Ocean Views in one generation…

Personally speaking, as you have no doubt noted, Andrea is of Asian descent – first-generation Canadian-born Taiwanese to be exact. A clue to who Andrea is can be found in the fact that though she now lives with her husband on an acreage with Pacific Ocean views, a short generation ago, her Dad got his first pair of shoes at the age of 5.

One of her mom’s most vivid memories of childhood was of trying to quiet her baby brother whose crying might give away their hiding place in a ditch during an air raid.

That so much can change in a short span of time is the backdrop to what Andrea knows is possible – almost anything.

Growing up Canadian, Andrea’s experience in business started at age 11 when she helped her Dad sort receipts and enter them by hand into a blue ledger book. As an adult, she stepped into entrepreneurship in 1999 with a recruitment business which soon morphed into what you see on these pages.

The Unlived Life Is Not Worth Examining

Andrea has some fluency in two of the world’s most difficult languages – Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. She was in China during Tiananmen Square, which she thinks is somehow connected to the ease with which she can tell the most confrontive of truths – in a way that has people thanking her afterward. She’s training to do her first adventure races has been a trainee of the Feldenkrais(R) method.

Her favorite meal is chez hubby Mike. Freshly-made pesto, spaghettini, and planked salmon on the BBQ dressed with caper butter. Her sins are books and baths, but she hopes to discover some others. She used to have a very bad temper, just ask her two younger brothers. Her work doubles as play; but she’s also recently become a fan of hammocks. She has no kids, so if she looks young to you, that’s probably why.

Oh yes, she has luckily and challengingly (in a good way) been married to Mike Flannery – as likely to be discussing business as walking their dog Oz in some remote place in British Columbia – since 1995.

To investigate coaching with Andrea, there are three options: large group, small group and individual. If you are interested in pursuing one of these, click here to express your interest and set up a ‘Let’s talk interview directly with Andrea. Just one thing…

Be prepared to move quickly into deep waters, as she is not a coach who likes to dally or prolong a coaching relationship. You are the kind of client who will benefit most from selecting Andrea as your coach if you seek money and meaning, together without compromise, have a big vision, and are ready to act on it.
