Client Praise

In the 15 years I’ve been leading teams, I’ve found the same challenges showing up for me over and over again. I’ve read countless leadership books, listened to podcasts and attended trainings, but it wasn’t until working with Andy that I was able to finally overcome the barriers preventing me from integrating the tools to become the leader I was hoping to be. Andy will push you when you’re stuck, and show kindness and compassion when you need a friend. Investing in Andy is one of the best decisions you can make to grow your leadership and your business!

Working with Andy was the most holistic approach to leadership coaching I’ve ever experienced.

While the takeaways from my time working with Andy were certainly tangible in business metrics such as goal setting, forecasting, revenue growth, and profitability, honestly, that isn’t even half of what I got out of this experience. The bigger opportunity and one many leaders struggle with, was receiving unwavering support to face fears of doing something differently than you’ve done it before and giving yourself the space to get out of your own way. That’s right. YOU are the problem, and Andy is the brilliant guru that knows how to identify the self-imposed barriers you placed to help you see them, disassemble them, and build new roads to places you’ve never been with tools you’ve never used or didn’t know you had.

If this sounds different than the work you’ve done in the past, you’re right. I cannot emphasize enough the overall growth, value, and transformation I felt from our time working together and now as I implement my findings and learnings into future growth. Thank you, always, Andy. I’m forever grateful for this experience and will be reaching out again as I climb the next summit.

I highly recommend hiring Andy to help you get through your next challenge, to help you achieve the next great thing, and to help you become a better version of yourself. I promise he will do great things and help you elevate to a level you thought was impossible.

Andy's approach involves deep internal work. He guided me through confronting aspects of myself that I was hesitant to face, yet this process proved to be incredibly beneficial for both my personal growth and my company's success. With Andy's help, I managed to transform my business from a state of no profit to achieving a net profit of over 20%. This remarkable turnaround can be attributed to the work we did together, addressing and overcoming the obstacles that were holding me back. Andy helped me reconcile with different facets of myself, enabling me to become a more proactive and effective leader.

This transformation has not only improved our bottom line but also positively affected my relationships with my employees and my family. Without a doubt, I give Andy and Scaling Minds Coaching & Consulting a five-star rating. If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to take the leap and work with Andy.

Andy helped me talk through both internal and external factors of my organization that I needed to confront and make thoughtful decisions about. During a time that felt chaotic, Andy was a great resource for understanding the perspectives of other entrepreneurs who have had similar experiences and how to walk away with a solution or something to work on. I appreciated his understanding of both the business side and the emotional side that comes with being a leader.

I met Andy just before a pivotal point in my career. He helped me dig myself out of a hole. At this point in my life/career I felt as if I was a complete failure and Andy helped me navigate my way back to a point of success. I seriously do not think I would be where I am at today if it wasn't for Andy's help.

Before starting coaching with Andy, I knew I was in a place where I needed to make a lot of changes, and I wasn’t sure how to get there. I had recently switched career paths, and while I felt like I was going in the right direction I wasn’t feeling very confident in myself, and I was wracked with worry about being good enough or doing the “right” things. I’ve been so grateful for Andy’s insight and guidance. I truly can’t imagine these last six months without our frequent check-ins. I’ve been growing and making progress in every goal and intention I set at the beginning of this, if not already exceeding where I thought I would be at this point. It’s hard to describe the changes, but for me it’s been made up of small daily decisions and practices and mindset shifts, and it’s making a world of difference. Thank you Andy for everything!!

Andy’s coaching is thoughtful, intelligent, fun, and ENTIRELY focused on YOU, which leads to game-changing results. Six months ago, I could never have pictured the life I’m living right now, and I owe so much of the bravery involved in making each step happen to Andy’s gentle but powerful coaching. Anyone hungry to uplevel their life owes it to themselves to hop on a call with him. Just freaking do it. You’ll be happy you did.

I love everything about the time I have gotten to share with Andy during our sessions. I have been lucky enough to have some one-on-one sessions as well as participate in one of his Mastermind groups. The work has been absolutely transformational to me and my business. The insight I have gained to be a more thoughtful and composed entrepreneur is invaluable. Andy is willing to meet you at whichever level you are at and only encourages you to think big and let go of inhibitions. I would happily and confidently recommend Andy to other entrepreneurs who are ready to push themselves to the next level.

Andy is great! He is a tremendous listener and truly gets to the heart of the problem and, more importantly, the possibilities. Every time I talk with him, I learn something about myself and things I can be doing better. If you want to achieve more, you should talk with Andy. I highly recommend him as a coach.

Andy helped me flesh out my ideas and gain perspective on how to move past a few blocks I was facing in the creative process. Talking with him helped me visualize how to overcome those blocks and put my ideas into motion. I’m so thankful for Andy’s insight. He’s a super easy guy to talk with – he can conceptualize the high level, 50,000 foot view and he can also get down and dirty in the creative trenches – he’s a powerhouse!

Before working with Andy, I felt like I was 80% of the way there, but I just couldn’t move forward because I couldn’t see the path and I was afraid of failing, to be honest. Then, Andy and I spoke and it was like all of a sudden, things connected. The lights in the room got a little brighter, the ideas started flowing!

You may have reservations about baring your soul to someone, rightfully so. You may fear shining a light on your issues because, let’s face it, that’s painful and it’s hard to hear criticisms about your self/process/ideas. If allow Andy in and work with him to achieve (fill in the blank) you’ll be asking yourself, ‘why didn’t I do this sooner?!'

As an entrepreneur and business executive, here are my non-negotiables when choosing a coach to work with: 1.) one that desires to know me, just as I am. 2.) someone that listens first every time, not coming with an agenda. 3.) someone that asks excellent questions, primarily focused on what I want and need or desire to create. 4.) one who pairs love with challenge, drawing me back to my desire for action that will propel me toward my dreams. 5.) someone who shares open and honest about his or her own life, but not to compare or shame, rather to bond together in the shared human experience. 6.) someone who exhibits a depth of care but doesn’t accept excuses. 7.) one who draws me back to the good in the world, in others, and especially in myself. Andy is all of these things and many more. Andy will always be my coach and my friend. In my time with him, I beat back self-doubt, I’m more confident in resting in the reality that my worth is not tied to my performance, and I’ve stepped into courage more boldly, bringing both confidence and creativity (and business growth). I’m thankful for Andy. You will not be disappointed if you choose to have him walk alongside you.

As an entrepreneur in need of guidance, I found Andy Hite Coaching to be a game-changer for my business and personal mindset. I was on the lookout for a top coaching firm in Chicago and came across Andy through Entrepreneur's Organization. I decided to give it a try, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Not only did he help me align my business goals with my values, but he also provided invaluable insights and practical tools to improve my headspace when running a business. I now approach my business with greater confidence and clarity, and I couldn't be more grateful for the transformation I've experienced.

His personalized, results-driven approach is bound to help you unlock your full potential and achieve the life and success you desire.

Starting a brand new business can be scary and intimidating. Before deciding to work with Andy, I literally had NO money coming in, and I was very skeptical of the time commitment required. I signed on anyway. Great news! I NOW HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS! And, I have gained so much confidence in myself. So Much Confidence! What else can I say? I can’t think of anything I’d change! Our work together was terrific, and I’m very grateful for all of the insights, for believing in me, and for my newfound belief that “yes, I can!”! I highly recommend working with Andy!

When I started coaching with Andy, I felt stuck. I was going through the motions of daily life — frustrated that I wasn’t achieving my goals. Together we had some tough conversations about what I really want, what may be holding me back, and what I could do to make the leap to the next level.

Throughout the coaching process, Andy was always patient, kind, and asked the right questions to get me thinking. As a result of working with him, my relationships with myself and others have improved dramatically. If you’re looking for a change in your life, I’d highly recommend Andy to be your guiding light.

With a little over a month since completing my work with Andy, the results continue to present themselves more and more clearly. There are certain concepts and Andy-isms that I find myself referring back to on a daily basis and a lasting sense of pride in catching myself when falling back into old habits that he helped me acknowledge and address.

In the work we did together, I feel like Andy was truly able to understand me and helped me accept elements of who I am, my essence, that I had previously ignored. The result is a clearer sense of what I really want and need to be doing, and a calmer, more controlled sense of perspective in almost every aspect of my life. Obviously, I still have stressors and anxieties to contend with, but how I look at them and the time I spend indulging them are vastly improved after working with Andy.

Andy is a super empathetic listener and does a great job in providing the type of feedback that I needed to hear. He understands when to push a little, pull back a little, and always how to help ground me. He's helped me operate with less fear, much more self-compassion, and a greater sense of belief and possibility. Although we've only known each other for about a year, I feel like Andy has been a lifelong friend and supporter. I am super grateful to have Andy as part of my life's journey.

Andy’s ability to truly see me was what I needed. He believed in me even when I didn’t. Working with Andy will transform your life. He really helped me dive deep and get to what is really getting in my way of creating a thriving business that I want.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Andy in a mastermind group. I was immediately drawn to his wisdom and masterful ability to coach. I recently had the opportunity to participate in a group coaching program that he was offering and work with him privately. Andy has been able to provide me with a broader vision and guide me through my blind spots, as well as expand and work through fears that were holding me back. If you need to change abruptly or evolve gently, Andy is the coach for you. I’m genuinely grateful.

Andy provided me a life changing opportunity to focus on living my best life and I am grateful for his expertise and insight. He masterfully guided me towards identifying the obstacles which stood in my way. And as a result of my work with him, I am more in control of my personal and professional life. He not only listens keenly, but he is able to provide the tools and resources needed to make significant positive change. I have been able to implement much needed structure in areas where it was lacking, and this is all due to his guidance and support. Working with Andy has had a very positive impact on my life and has, without question, been a worthwhile investment!

Andy is awesome. He has helped me immensely! It seriously feels like Andy has an endless list of tools in his tool belt and can help in any situation. He always has something helpful, enlightening, and motivating to say. Every call we have had I have walked away from feeling inspired and motivated. Truly, truly one of the best decisions I have made is to work with Andy. I HIGHLY recommend him! 5 Stars

Andy is a MAGNIFICENT coach! He has the ability to help you get to the root of your biggest challenges. His insight provides the awareness and spark needed to create profound transformation in your life. Thanks so much Andy!!!

Andy is an extremely kind and compassionate person. The insights I’ve gained from his coaching have helped me navigate some financial hurdles as well as improve my career / life balance. I’m grateful for Andy and I recommend him highly to anyone looking to take their life and work to the next level!

When I began my work with Andy I was overwhelmed by the many forces in my business and life. I felt as if I was being pulled in every direction and getting nowhere. In a very short time, Andy was able to help me see how I was living out of balance with my core values, which was causing a lot of dissonance within me. Once I was able to see my world through this new lens, my path forward became crystal clear.

Andy is kind-hearted, up-beat and full of empathy. He immediately puts you at ease and offers the ideal mixture of compassion and accountability. My work with Andy was amazing and I never imagined I could feel as free and “open” as I do today.

One of the best decisions I made was getting past my fear of being coached and allowing Andy to support me. From day one, he was very transparent that it would be work, and I had to be willing to be honest, trust the process, and invest fully. He challenged me to be my authentic self before we even started, and by doing so, allowed Andy to do what he does best-coach me to a level that I didn’t even know existed. I would recommend Andy to anyone!! Thank you, Andy!!

I was always someone who didn’t think I needed a business/life coach. I thought there was a book, podcast or webinar I could watch and I’d get all the guidance that I needed. However, I was wrong! Years passed – and many mistakes later – I continued to trip over the same problems. Then I met Andy. I could tell he was different from the get go. He didn’t talk at all about himself or his business, he was more interested in me. He never asked for my business, yet was always available to listen and provide helpful guidance. That is the reason I decided to work with Andy. He is a genuine person who cares about your success. He takes his work seriously and isn’t a ‘yes’ man. Using a figurative mirror, he guides you to knowing that you have all the tools and potential needed to be successful. It has been a pleasure and a benefit working with Andy.

To say that Andy is an angel in disguise is an understatement. My life and business had all of a sudden taken a major turn and I felt like there was no way out.  He helped me rediscover the woman that I had lost somewhere along the way.  With his support I was able to regain my self-esteem, confidence, and self-reliance, as well as reach the goals I had set for myself. Andy has an inspiring way about him that encourages you while you navigate through some of your toughest personal and professional challenges. 

I have read many self improvement books and gone to therapy for years, which, of course, helped.  However, hiring Andy as my coach accelerated my growth and helped me become even more capable, confident and in control of my own future. 

I have done a fair amount of therapy over the years, which was beneficial, but I did not get anywhere near the results as I have in my work with Andy. Andy puts you at ease with his confidence and humor, and through his sincere kindness he creates a safe place for a lot of introspection and vulnerability. Through his coaching I was able to more clearly define my life values and goals, measure my progress, and see incredible, tangible results. He has a lot of helpful resources and brainstorming activities which will help YOU lead the session in the direction you want it to go in order to get the results you’re hoping for.  

I highly recommend his services to anyone who is motivated to improve their life, and to find more richness in the day-to-day.

I lost both my parents, my marriage and my life as I’d known it all within a year. I could slap a smile on my face and appear to the world that I had overcome, but in all reality I hated the thought of tomorrow. I had heard of a life coach many times but never found myself in need of one until Andy was recommended to me. Hard questions, thought provoking concepts and self-evaluations were not appealing to me at first, until I learned to crave the freedom that they gave me. Each week, I had an assignment to stretch myself farther than I’d thought possible and was able to report back the following week of my terrific progress. Sometimes I wanted to quit but I kept my focus and heard the encouragement from Andy and knew, as he believed, I COULD DO THIS. I could regain my inner strength, I could learn to love and respect myself, I could walk tall and believe that I was more than a conqueror.

I can promise you that I will never be the person that I was before being coached by Andy. If you have even the slightest need for someone to coach you through a storm, you’ll recover well, if only you give Andy a chance to utilize his God given gifts to help you be an overcomer.

Andy Hite has had such a positive influence on my life. He is an inspirational, insightful and thought- provoking coach. (Google will only allow 5 stars) If I could give him 100 stars, I would. I highly recommend him!
