"Working with Andy has been a game-changer. If you're wondering if this coaching thing can work... I'd highly recommend a conversation with Andy."

Working with Andy has been a game-changer. I was always curious about whether or not coaching was something I could benefit from. I decided to take the leap with Andy. He has the ability to bring things to the surface that I needed to see (and may have been avoiding searching for) then coach and hold me accountable on how to grow as a leader, husband, father, friend etc. If you’re wondering if this coaching thing can work…I’d highly recommend a conversation with Andy.

In our year working together, Andy Hite has transformed my leadership.

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!

“It is through Andy’s understanding, reflection, challenge, commitment, and humanity that I feel more assured as a person than I ever have. He's magical.”

I was skeptical about the 'coaching' thing. I think for many of us we think of it as a cheerleader of life, somehow set to give us purpose. this isn't the case. Andy helped me understand that all I ever needed was within me. He is the catalyst not the cause. It is through his understanding, reflection, challenge, commitment, and humanity that I feel more assured as a person than I ever have. I needed to have or feel part of a journey. Andy walked beside me so I could understand I was already in the right direction.....just in need of a few clearer landmarks to help me in my growth. Use him. I did not think I would need the change I found because of his excellence and devotion to the human spirit. He's magical.

“While I saw tangible business results such as revenue growth and increased profitability, the even bigger takeaway was the transformation I saw in myself to show up in a different capacity, both as a leader and in my personal life.”

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.

“If you’re looking for coaching with worksheets, homework, and a sense of babysitting - I suggest you keep scrolling. If you’re looking for transformative, life-changing, eye-opening, human-centered leadership guidance, support, and accountability, now this is why you’re here!”-

My work with Andy came at just the right time. I was feeling stuck, even paralyzed, with indecision about how to move forward with my organization. Our time together revitalized my mission – as a businesswoman AND as a human. His calm, kind, encouraging demeanor makes it easy to talk to him, confront the big stuff, and find tangible ways to move forward. This work with Andy was one of the best investments I’ve made for my organization and myself. The organization is structurally sounder than it was when we started, and I have a rejuvenated sense of purpose and delight in the work that I do.

"There was an immediate connection to Andy. I felt like I was speaking to a wise, judgment-free friend who was ready to support me on any challenge that I had.”

I completed a 6-month coaching journey with Andy a few months ago, and it was a truly great experience. The growth that occurred in a short period of time was tremendous, however, having had some time to step away and reflect on the entire experience, I now see an even greater value than I initially thought.

It all started with a casual call, which quickly turned into me sharing ‘all the things.’ There was an immediate connection to Andy. I felt like I was speaking to a wise, judgment-free friend who was ready to support me on any challenge that I had. Not only did I like him, but his coaching style resonated. He made it easy to open up, share my deepest desires, and be totally vulnerable.

Through a series of questions, discussions, exercises, and assignments, I could work through some long time personal and professional struggles. When I wanted to move quickly, we did. When I wanted to slow down, we did. Andy was truly there to support me and arm me with tools that help evaluate, reflect, calm, motivate, access, etc... I joke about it, but I am now well stocked with a ‘box’ of Andy’s tools that I will, without a doubt, continue to use daily. Investing in myself wasn’t an easy decision for me, but choosing Andy was. I feel grateful to have had this experience and to have Andy in my corner.

"I highly recommend coaching with Andy!"

Working with Andy was my first coaching experience. I signed up unsure of what to expect and felt skeptical, given I could not measure the ROI. I am so glad that I did! His coaching made a powerful, positive shift in my mindset that allows me to embrace the adventure of life in a self-empowering way. Our work expanded my universe of fun and possibility and moved me beyond a limiting inner monologue towards one that embraces experimentation and the unknown while having fun. Andy’s coaching was a powerful thaw. His authenticity is inspiring and has allowed me to be a more authentic person and more in touch with myself and the people around me. I highly recommend coaching with Andy!

I've worked with a number of coaches over the years, but Andy, hands down, stands out as the most powerful and profound among them.

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.

"His commitment to his clients makes me grateful to have connected with him as my personal coach."

Andy, with his caring, intuitive coaching, and constant support quickly helped me discover what was holding me back from living my best life. He is a gifted listener who truly understood me and what I was trying to convey, even when I wasn’t totally clear. Because of his natural ability to create a safe space I was able to open up immediately, which made the whole process go quicker than expected and was exceptionally meaningful. I now have clarity and I know how to continue growing and being the best version of my authentic-self. I also know that when I’m not, Andy will be there to pick up right where we left off. His commitment to his clients makes me grateful to have connected with him as my personal coach.

Andy was my first coach, and it was a great experience to have his level of support during one of the toughest years of my entrepreneurial journey.

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.

Andy helped me navigate my way back to a point of success.

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.

"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."

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!!

"I can't say enough about how beautifully and profoundly my life, both professionally and personally, has been transformed due to Andy's enlightened, affirmative, and direct coaching approach."

Through Andy's highly attuned coaching skills, my life has been transformed in such a positive and impactful way. From the start, Andy saw me, heard me, and believed in the powerful person I am. He was encouraging, motivating, and innovative.  Andy stood for me in championing my goals.  I can't say enough about how beautifully and profoundly my life, both professionally and personally, has been transformed due to Andy's enlightened, affirmative, and direct coaching approach. I would have paid twice as much for Andy's coaching to move from where I was to where I am today.  I am so very grateful and blessed to have worked with Andy.

"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."

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.

“Working with Andy was extremely helpful for my development.”

His ability to ask quality questions and listen intensely allowed me to explore situations that would have been quite difficult to think through without an external perspective. I found it refreshing that he never claimed to know best but was always curious to see what we could both discover was true.

"The work has been absolutely transformational to me and my business. I would happily and confidently recommend Andy to other entrepreneurs who are ready to push themselves to the next level"

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.

Truly a great experience working with Andy. His coaching style is just what I needed to get through some challenges and struggles I was facing. I was not sure what to expect when I started working with him but what I got out of it was so much more. He helped me turn off the "noise" and focus on what was important...me!

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.

"If you 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!’"

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 a former skeptic of coaching, I have Andy Hite to thank for helping me see clearly how coaching played a pivotal role in improving my overall quality of life.

As a full-time working mom of two with experience and exposure to therapy, mentors, etc., Andy stood out differently as a trusted sounding board, leader, and guide to helping me identify what I needed (and deserved) to change and improve in my day-to-day living.

The personal and professional growth that Andy has helped me achieve has been priceless and instrumental in my daily approach to life, love, and overall happiness. Thank you for opening up my eyes "to possibility!"

“Andy will always be my coach and my friend. You will not be disappointed if you choose to have him walk alongside you.”

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.

"Great news! I now have a successful business! I highly recommend working with Andy!"

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!

"If you're looking for a change in your life, I'd highly recommend Andy to be your guiding light."

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.

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.

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.
