About Andrew Silvert
Andrew’s Empowerment Coaching
As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over 150 successful client engagements, I help individuals break through ingrained patterns of self-sabotage and shift from surviving to thriving. Through our work together, you’ll build mental fitness, gain clarity on your values and life purpose, strengthen resilience, and gain the ability to navigate life’s challenges with ease and confidence. Drawing on 30 years of diverse leadership experience—including working as an expat in Japan, corporate roles in finance, business development, and operations, running a charter school network and my own financial consulting firm — I offer insights that empower clients to unlock their potential and achieve meaningful, lasting change.
My Coaching Approach
In my coaching, I use the Positive Intelligence model —a powerful blend of science and mindfulness designed to build mental fitness, resilience, and lasting well-being.
My approach is both structured and flexible, always meeting you where you are in the moment. When we work together, I create a space of safety, openness, and clarity, offering practical guidance that empowers you to face life’s challenges with ease and confidence.
Each session is focused on two goals: helping you make meaningful progress on the issues you’re tackling and introducing Positive Intelligence skills that will continue to support your growth and resilience long after our session ends.
At my core, I believe that everything happens for us, not to us. Every experience is an opportunity for learning, growth, and transformation. This mindset is the heart of my coaching, and it’s what I hope to help you embrace as you create a more fulfilling life.

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.
