Andrea Wedell PCC
Executive and Career Coaching
The most important decisions about work are rarely just about work.
For more than twenty years, I've helped professionals navigate career transitions, leadership challenges, burnout, difficult workplace dynamics, and the moments that shape both careers and lives.
Organizations that have trusted me with their people include Google, Meta, Apple, Salesforce, Uber, Lyft, Dropbox, Kaiser Permanente, Airbus, JPMorgan, Chandon, DoorDash, Instacart, and many early-stage startups.
I'm an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), currently working toward the Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential.
Before coaching full time, I built and ran a consulting business in Paris. Since then, I've coached hundreds of leaders, founders, physicians, engineers, HR professionals, entrepreneurs, and managers across industries and cultures, in both English and French.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to quickly understand what's really happening beneath the surface. After coaching for more than two decades across so many organizations and industries, I've developed a deep understanding of how people experience work in very different contexts. I can often recognize the difference between a leadership skill that needs developing, a difficult organizational culture, a toxic manager, a crisis of confidence, or an old pattern that's limiting someone's options. That understanding doesn't tell me what you should do. It helps me ask better questions, bringing new awareness to the places where fresh perspectives and new choices can emerge.
My coaching isn't built around a fixed process or a one-size-fits-all method. Every client brings a different history, personality, strengths, and organizational context.
While every coaching relationship is unique, meaningful change tends to follow a similar arc. We begin by understanding what's really happening and exploring new ways of seeing the situation. As insight grows, new choices become available. From there, we focus on meaningful action—whether that's developing a leadership skill, changing a behavior, approaching a situation differently, or having the courage to make an important decision. The goal is to create lasting change, not just temporary insight.
Some clients work with me through a specific transition. Others return over many years as their careers evolve and new opportunities or challenges arise. Because we already have the history and trust, we can quickly build on the work we've done together.
I bring warmth, curiosity, humor, and directness to every conversation. Coaching should feel like a genuine relationship—one where you can think honestly, see yourself and your situation more clearly, and move forward with greater confidence.
“Growth isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about uncovering what’s already there—and using it better.”
- Andrea
STRETCH BEYOND WHAT'S COMFORTABLE
I believe meaningful change often starts when we realize we might be in our own way—without even knowing it. The patterns that keep us stuck are usually hidden in plain sight, embedded in how we think, what we avoid, or what we’ve told ourselves is “just the way things are.”
My coaching is about making those patterns visible so you can do something different—something better. I don’t believe in waiting around for things to shift. I believe in stretching for more, and building the clarity and capacity to pursue what actually matters to you.
This is not magical thinking.
It’s deep observation, clear strategy, and targeted, consistent action.
I work with people who are ready to aim higher—who are done being complacent or overwhelmed and want to move forward with more precision, honesty, and momentum.
