Training Is For Dogs, Growth Is For LEADERS with Andrea Butcher
As CEO of HRD, a leadership development company, Andrea Butcher knows a thing or two about growth.
Listen in as we learn how to get the most out of yourself as a leader, and all your people - so you can be the best version of yourself, grow beyond what you imagined possible, and propel your organization into the future.
Andrea’s why is “to be a catalyst for growth, so that we can all achieve personal fulfillment.” She believes that leaders shape the world and empowers her coaching clients to look in the mirror and identify the best within them. Twenty years of working with executives from all over the world has allowed Andrea to observe that growth happens when three things exist: truth, grace, and time. Andrea comes alongside clients to help them explore what’s working and what isn’t. Because she provides a safe environment in which leaders feel comfortable, her coaching clients are empowered to tell the truth about what’s getting in their way and identify strategies to lead differently going forward.
