About Andrew Silvert
As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with more than 2,000 coaching engagements, I help individuals break free from self-limiting patterns and move from simply surviving to genuinely thriving. Through our work together, clients strengthen their mental fitness, gain clarity about their values, purpose, and direction, build resilience, and develop the confidence and capacity to navigate life's challenges with greater ease. Drawing on more than 30 years of diverse leadership experience—including living and working as an expat in Japan and Spain, leadership roles in finance, business development, and operations, founding and leading a charter school network, and building my own financial consulting firm—I bring practical frameworks, evidence-based tools, and relevant life experience into the coaching conversation when it serves my clients' needs. My passion is helping people discover their own wisdom, unlock their potential, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Andrew’s Empowerment Coaching
My Coaching Approach
In my coaching, I use the Positive Intelligence® model—a powerful blend of neuroscience, positive psychology, and mindfulness designed to strengthen mental fitness, resilience, and lasting well-being.
My approach is both structured and flexible, always meeting you where you are. First and foremost, I coach. Through deep listening, thoughtful questions, and genuine partnership, I help you uncover your own insights, expand your perspective, and move toward meaningful action.
I believe that you already have far more wisdom, strength, and resilience than you realize. My role isn't to give you answers—it's to help you uncover your own, while providing the tools, frameworks, and support that allow you to move forward with greater confidence and intention.
At the same time, I recognize that there are moments when a proven framework, practical tool, or shared life experience can open new possibilities. When it serves your needs, I draw upon evidence-based practices, the Positive Intelligence model, and my own personal and professional experiences—not to tell you what to do, but to expand your thinking, spark fresh insights, and help you discover what works best for you.
Each coaching session is designed with two outcomes in mind: helping you make meaningful progress on the challenges you're facing today while building practical mental fitness skills that will continue to serve you long after our coaching conversations have ended. My goal is not only to help you navigate today's challenges, but also to strengthen your ability to meet future challenges with greater clarity, confidence, resilience, and self-trust.
At the heart of my coaching is the belief that life doesn't just happen to us—it can also happen for us. Even our greatest challenges can become opportunities for learning, growth, and transformation. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that shape your life so you can discover new perspectives, make more intentional choices, and create a life that feels deeply aligned with who you are and who you're becoming.
Whether you're navigating a major life transition, striving toward an important goal, strengthening your relationships, or simply seeking greater fulfillment, I would be honored to partner with you. Together, we'll help you quiet the mental noise, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and create meaningful, lasting change—one conversation at a time.

More about me…
I lived and worked in Japan for many years, doing marketing and business development for AT&T and other international companies while learning Japanese, practicing Zen meditation, martial arts, and yoga.
In my early 40’s, I suffered a severe back injury. During the subsequent two years I spent healing, I got divorced, changed careers, and completely re-oriented the priorities and focus of my life.
I became a massage therapist for a while. I deepened my meditation practice. I ran marathons. I travelled the world. I got involved in personal development, the Mankind Project, Landmark Education, and relationship workshops. I wrote and published a book based on my divorce experience entitled “The Good Divorce – how to consciously create the best possible outcome for you and your family.”
In August of 2021, I realized a life-long dream when I moved to Maui with the love of my life where we lived happily off-grid in the jungle for three years, snorkeling with the turtles and kayaking with the whales!
Turns out that Maui was not the final landing spot on our ever unfolding life journey. We made the decision to move to Spain in July, 2024 and are exploring the ex-pat life in this beautiful, ancient, and fascinating land.
