About Andrea Friedmann

I am a facilitator of organizational transformation and personal insight. Through my deep listening and intuitive comprehension I help employees connect with themselves to navigate the difficulties they face to reach their goals, enhancing engagement and productivity. From these connections I tap undisclosed opportunities to resolve organizational dysfunctions, head off newly emergent issues, and support company culture. I identify opportunities for growth for people, organizations, and communities, and create and deliver trainings that promote that growth.
