From school leaders

"Bi-weekly meetings with Andy consistently prove to be an indispensable asset. He’s an objective guide, who has experience in every aspect of school operations and leadership, including my role. I have peer colleagues that I can call, but having Andy’s insights and proactive approaches, that are dedicated to my school-specific needs and culture, have been invaluable".

"Working with Andy this fall was a game-changer. His unique knowledge in a wide range of independent school areas allowed us to knock off several projects that we just never had time to get to. It would be great to have Andy on staff, but it’s awesome to have him in our corner".

"Partnering with Andy is like having the Bat Phone (for schools) on your desk (sorry for the dated reference). He’s available when needed, brings seasoned insights, tackles tasks across all areas of our school and energetically guided us through the first leg of our strategic planning data gathering". 

"Andy’s wealth of experience was evident in our work together. He didn't just offer solutions; he took time to understand our unique needs, making us feel valued and understood. It was like having a conversation with a knowledgeable friend, who genuinely cared about our success. His expertise guided us through a pretty complex issue, but his warmth and approachability made the process enjoyable and productive".

"From the moment we engaged Andy, his open nature stood out. Along with helpful guidance, he brought a human touch to his consultancy. He listened intently, understood our concerns, brought humour into the process and then tailored his approach to suit our specific needs. Andy was great to work with and he had a genuine desire to see us succeed".

“As a Facilitator, Educator and Leader, Andy Rodford possesses the unique ability to “untangle” complex scenarios while at the same time encouraging mutual respect and accountability from the entire team.

Andy’s range and diversity of experience working with Institutions, teams and Individuals yields substantial rewards to his colleagues and clients, who can confidently place their trust in him to represent, mediate, negotiate or guide them towards a successful resolution".

“Andy has a human centric leadership approach that is deeply rooted in integrity and complemented with a wonderful sense of humour. His ability to understand people and issues makes him a highly effective and dynamic leader who can drive results and thrive in many different contexts. He delivered a major building and renovation project ahead of schedule in one of the toughest construction environments in recent history. He brings deep wisdom and insight to strategic planning. Most importantly he connects with and earns the respect of those he comes in contact with, from young children to accomplished professionals. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work with and learn from Andy".
