I’ve been working with Joe Dyer in other capacities for a few years and over that time we routinely discussed the challenges I was facing building and organizing a management team for our company that had just grown by 134% in one year. Through Joe’s guidance, we got the team built, but we needed more. Joe and Andrea tailored a program that couldn’t be more perfect for the task at hand.
The program captured our challenges perfectly and was executed with passion and extreme ownership by Joe and Andrea. Their ability to challenge our team, get them to expose the true issues and provide expert guidance was next level. This was not just a seminar to check a box, rather, they owned this as if it was their leadership team and their success depended on the impact they made or didn’t make on our group.
And it didn’t stop there. Through individual 1 to 1 follow up meetings immediately following the training sessions, the bond and commitment grew for every member or our team. The amount of impact Joe and Andrea made is indescribable and immediate. We still have work to do, but Joe and Andera have prepared a long-term plan for our team to continue to train under their guidance to ensure maximum impact as they lead the organization into the future.
I can’t say enough about their business acumen, their ability to read and connect with the group and win over the most cynical of the bunch. It’s difficult to capture the true value in a paragraph or two so I’ve provided my contact information to Joe and Andrea and would love to discuss our experience in more detail with anyone looking for an outstanding leadership training solution offered by even better people.

Find out what works and do it. Quoting greats like Tony Robbins and Warren Buffet: “The key to success and growth is modeling successful people.”
While it may not be possible to have Tony or Warren as executive coaches, Joe and Andrea are first rate. Having worked closely with them for four years now, they are individually each impressive. Together, their great synergy make a powerful, energetic team.
They also live what they teach with genuine passion, consistent upbeat attitude, and contagious positive energy while maintaining sharp mental focus and intuition.
Their verbal skills combined with this mental clarity allow them to communicate with both intelligence, and elegance. The grace and superiority of their combined verbal communication lead to powerful influence and motivation! I share this, having experienced the effect directly.
Unless you can secure Tony or Warren, I don’t know of a better team to coach you with a proven system from which they themselves have been and continue to be very fruitful.
Joe and Andrea are the best of people, truly giving and caring.

I have had the privilege to work with Joe and 4A Leadership for several years. His style and progressive approach worked across two very different leadership teams. Joe begins with individual insights and uses these as building blocks to break down barriers between teammates.
Most impressively, Joe balances sharp perception and wit to challenge individuals and teams. I am always amazed as a participant and as an observer how the journey progresses through the sessions. Each stage pushes participants to look inside themselves.
At times the process is uncomfortable, but ultimately participants realize how their behavior impacts the team and what it takes to become more cohesive. Individuals and teams always benefit from time invested with Joe and 4A Leadership.

Effective Executive Coaching can be the linchpin that connects skills, confidence & political savvy for success for a new executive at the leadership table. The skills and attributes that got you the seat at the table is not going to be good enough to stay & thrive at the table. Having a coach through that process as a new executive allows you to focus on the right critical areas to make the most meaningful impact.
Joe provided the right mix of perspective, practical advice, and tools to help me on my journey to a Senior Leadership position in a Fortune 500 company. I was able to avoid some of the rookie mistakes and was able to jump-start my journey at this new table more effectively. Joe builds trust quickly and strives to provide value with every coaching session.
Joe is a great partner in any leadership journey and is a great addition to a personal board of directors.

I was introduced to Joe Dyer through an employer sponsored program to assist me in a period of transition in my career. My field is medicine and there are substantial numbers of physicians with burnout, disengagement and abandonment of careers in general as administrative burdens continue to enlarge in our current climate.
Joe has been instrumental in getting me centered to why I became a physician and why I enjoy my career. He has helped instill flexibility into my world which allows me and my team to ride out the things outside of our control. I have been able to motivate others to be at their happiest and most productive through his simple tools.
Outside of my career, I am enjoying my family and friends more. I don't think I ever would have been able to accomplish a major change in my focus, a large improvement in satisfaction for myself and my coworkers and family without his guidance. The staffs have all been surprising management and I with their knowledge, their forethought and their improvement in their goal once we have trusted them in their own skill sets more.
He has been easy to talk with, goal oriented, engaging and very supportive of the changes necessary to accomplish a better job satisfaction, life/work balance and overall to help me plan for my future short term and long term employment goals. I would refer any of my professional friends in need of a reset or an examination of their current and future career issues to him without any reservations.

I had the distinct pleasure to have worked with Andrea Richardson-Dyer for over 5 years at Washington Mutual Bank, at one time the largest savings and loan in the United States. As First Vice-President of the mortgage division, Andrea demonstrated the very definition of a powerful leader. Andrea not only led by example but her lessons and insight were so much more meaningful and impactful than those who merely “tell” you what to do rather than teach, coach and mentor.
Andrea’s many years of corporate management provided her with vast experiences that helped to guide and grow my own management skills to successfully lead teams to greater levels of production which resulted in year over year increases.
Andrea’s direct approach to breakdown the areas of deficiency and turn them into manageable, tangible tasks allowed me to achieve incremental, measurable results within three months of working wit her and continued growth in performance.
I would highly recommend Andrea’s outstanding leadership skills and business acumen to any business or individual seeking to grow to the next level of success.

Having worked with Joe Dyer at British Gas, he was instrumental in turning around an under performing and demotivated Customer Service directorate. Engaging colleagues at all levels he would ensure that focusing on the prize was always at the forefront of what everyone did.
A hugely gifted and experienced leader who has a wealth of knowledge and experience which he shares in such a unique style.

I have known Andrea for nearly 16 years! She is a true mentor and inspiration. As my leader, back in her mortgage days, she became my role model - showing me what a success I could become. She is articulate and finds passion with whatever is placed in front of her.
Andrea is an accomplished and beautiful soul who finds best in everyone she interacts with. I am honored to know this wonderful woman of integrity and character.

"Her willingness to get involved was instrumental."
In my many years in the mortgage business I have not had a manager or mentor that has provided the insight and business acumen that Andrea provided.
Her willingness to get involved with a deal and not shy away from difficult situations was instrumental in my production increasing significantly during my working time with her.
The experience that she provides along with her coaching style is second to none. I highly recommend the services that her company and she provide.
