Andrea’s personal mission is to “change the world one person at a time.” She adopted this mindset early in her career and works to embody it in all the does, both personally and professionally. She has individually coached hundreds of people to do the same, while creating group programs to bring this spirit to life within organizations.
Her 30-plus-year career has encompassed all facets of Human Resources, from entry-level administration through executive leadership. The majority of that time was spent with an employee-owned office equipment dealership, where she helped to create an award-winning culture. When the company was acquired, she presented her approaches to leadership and organizational programming to their parent company, who were impressed enough to send her travelling across the US to share her knowledge with hundreds of other leaders. She eventually co-led a virtual leadership program, engaging with leaders from all over the world.
Andrea became a client and fan of Giombetti Associates in the early 2000s and began including the Performance Dynamics® process in many of her executive and pre-executive programs. Caving in to her persistence, Ross finally allowed Andrea to join the team as a coach in 2022, after tiring of being asked. “What was I supposed to do?” Ross exclaims. “She wouldn’t go away!” In truth, her boldness, perseverance and candor make her a natural fit for our organization. When she’s not helping clients, she’s usually with her husband Mark, their children and grandchildren, or with the rest of their giant family. You may see her gardening, playing with the neighborhood community cats, picking stalls at Whispering Grace Horses, mentoring students from Malone University, or collaborating with other busy ladies from Women’s Impact. An advocate of servant leadership, she is also a small group facilitator for Heart to Heart Leadership.
