"My coaching sessions helped me ask questions and explore the journey I was on. This wasn't in a harsh way. I think it wouldn't have suited me, but gently and encouraging.
The sessions showed me possibilities that previously seemed like massive mountains, broken down into really small steps. Much less daunting. The sessions were full of helpful suggestions on working with colleagues to get the best out of my team.
The use of questions was empathic. My coach got me. I felt understood.
My coach asked about the fire I wanted to light at one stage and whether I was the match or the fire itself. That got me thinking. I want to create a place for people to come and feel the warmth of appreciation. I don't want to make a roaring blaze.
Coaching helps me trust that setting off on my journey was the right course of action, and not having a precise destination was fine. So, I have my flask of tea and sandwiches, and off I go."

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing young people through my association with Know You More Digital Coaching and their partnership with Common Purpose.
These initiatives are strengths based, personal leadership programmes that are free for young adults from all backgrounds aged between 18 and 25.
It is an accessible programme that has been designed to help young people understand themselves, and their strengths to confidently navigate early adulthood.
“I received mentoring sessions from Andrew through the Common Purpose with 'Legacy: A global campaign' Digital Coaching powered by Level Up. It was a fantastic experience and I am really glad that I was matched with Andrew. His knowledge, experience and expertise helped me develop and re-think some of my opinions. His non-judgmental approach allowed me to have full ownership of my thinking patterns. I'd recommend sessions with Andrew to anyone willing to try mentoring.”

Common Purpose Leadership Programme
“Andrew was my coach when I participated in Know You More’s leadership coaching sessions in conjunction with the University of St. Andrews. Working with Andrew has been one of the best things I have done towards my own personal development. Andrew is an exceptional listener and is extremely easy to open up to, meaning that he was able to find the crux of the issues we discussed very well. Andrew completely reshaped my views of leadership and I am excited to use his teachings going forward. I couldn’t recommend Andrew more highly.”

Know You More / Level-Up Leadership Programme
“Andrew is a great listener, thinker and he always asks challenging questions. Through conversation, he helped me work out what opportunities I have available, what my strengths and weaknesses are, and what's important to me from a career perspective. I am new to the world of career "coaching" and didn't know what to expect; Andrew instantly made me feel relaxed with his sense of humour and he wasn't afraid to expose my occasional PR/marketing responses to his probing questions. He has a genuine passion for finding out what truly motivates individuals. I look forward to more sessions with Mr. Woodward!”
Hal Wood
Know You More / Level-Up Leadership Programme
“Andrew has completely transformed the way I view leadership over his time coaching me. I feel much more aware of my personal leadership styles, where I should put my energy and where I shouldn't after my sessions with him. He is a personable, compassionate and intelligent coach who always managed to challenge my mindset in a safe space. I'd recommend him for any leader who wants to understand themselves more!”
