Andrea Mein DeWitt is an author, sought-after speaker, and dynamic leadership coach who teaches high-performing leaders to see and step into their power, potential, and truth. She is the CEO of Andrea DeWitt Advisors, where she coaches heart-centered working professionals who are feeling the call to chase a dream, create something new in their lives, or transform something that's no longer working. Andrea's mantra is, "It is only when we dare to look inside ourselves that we find the truth to light our way forward." She encourages her clients to find their courage by stepping out of their comfort zone, which Andrea believes is the portal that will help them maximize their power and potential in both their personal and professional lives. Andrea's career path has taken her through diverse roles, from educator, mentor, and facilitator to speaker, coach, and author. As she moved through each role, she took advantage of the opportunities to learn, gain new skills, and become a better version of herself. After more than 30 years as a successful academic, Andrea bravely shed her cloak of education and took the courageous and transformational leap into the world of coaching. Her own life transitions allowed her to modify, revise, and rewrite her life. These are the skills she transmits to her coaching clients as she inspires them to take control and become the best version of themselves.
