Testimonials
"I have found my coaching with Andreas to be extremely valuable for a number of reasons. The advice he has given me has reinforced what I am hearing internally about how I need to change my behaviors to change my role in the company. My work with Andreas has encouraged me to be more aware of others perspectives in collaborating for solutions. I listen better! My team and I are more productive, both among ourselves and with our internal clients. Andreas has the ability to understand not just what will make you successful in business in general, but what will help you in the culture you are in right now. It was important to hear a voice that came without any political spin that I could trust a priori, and he has provided a flat wall that I can bounce ideas off with complete openness. Andreas has shown content expertise, emotional intelligence, a willingness to connect, an honesty in assessment, and an ego-free launching pad. Thanks to Andreas’ Executive Coaching, I am reaching higher levels of excellence because I’ve learned how to redefine what “doing my best” means". Kyriakos Foinikopoulos Group Audit & Compliance Executive at Qualco "As Executive Coach and leader of the Strategic Organization and Leadership Development effort at National Grid SA, I would like to share with you my experiences with Andreas Pratanos as a contributor to a number of important initiatives at National Grid SA. During the past 4 years our team engaged in raising the level of performance in the organization through Strategy Formulation, Driving forward execution of the Company Strategy and development of Leadership and Management capability on the part of our Management Team from CEO to Supervisors. Andreas has led the HRD effort that was integral to the Company Strategy and has been a coach and counselor to the many people we have been able to develop in the above areas. While gaining his coaching certification with ICF and Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coaching, Andreas coached many managers in our organization who gained significant confidence and initiative from his service to them. Andreas was also intimately involved in the Challenge Program of the Company, a high potential program for young individual performers getting ready for management positions. Many of whom are now highly competent mid level managers. In all, Andreas has been an integral part of the team and his knack for leadership coaching has been a boon to us during the past 4-5 years". Cornelus N.J. van Langen, Executive Coach at National Grid SA (a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Electricity Company)
