A key element of the LEAD Programme is Andrea Morrison Coaching, which has received excellent feedback from participants. Lucille Bleekers of Nutriclinic York shared her experience, saying, “Unable to move forward in my business as I was unsure of what direction to take and held myself back with lots of negative thinking, I enrolled on Andrea's Coaching Programme. The sessions were truly transformational, and I am now far more aware of how my thinking has been sabotaging any progress I make. I now feel lighter and have a clearer picture of where I want to be with my business. Andrea has a wonderful way with words and breaks it all down for you in an easy-to-grasp and enlightening way. I would highly recommend Andrea if you are like me and needing a bit of a challenge to your thinking and a way to move forward in your business.”
