First of all I want to take this opportunity to say that I have received a number of calls in regards to the evening including your presentation. So to answer your first question, don’t change anything. The calls I received were all positive and with all the events that I have attended this is the only time that I have seen a standing ovation in this regard. Well done! You have a great voice, hand gestures and comparisons in real life experiences in which people can relate too. You had funny comments mixed with serious messages. When you were delivering your message SHARE YOUR CARE I looked around the room to see the people that infected me with caring for this job and it was so true in your message. Everyone in the room was contagious at one time or another and still are. The amount of time you spoke was perfect. I would be more than happy to receive calls for a reference if needed but I can see you don’t need one. Just keep on being Andy

“Can I Count on You?" – Improving the Reliability of your leadership team
Execution of ideas is the number one challenge for leaders of all ages. This session will immediately improve the ability of your team to work together and improve their organization skills.
This session addresses the concepts of time management from a unique perspective. Trust is the foundation for loving families, fun friendships, spirited schools, inspiring camps, successful businesses, and effective leaders. Yet people earn the trust of another by being reliable. Andy offers useful and immediately applicable advice for improving reliability. Through his insights, Andy demonstrates how increased reliability improves one's time management, creates successful events, and inspires TRUST in leaders!
With your staff of all ages balancing their time between family and work commitments, this program can transform how your team organizes their priorities!
Workshop format is completely flexible. Andy can perform a 30 to 60-minute version as part of a workshop rotation or do a 2 to 4-hour version which includes increased interaction, a question/answer sheet, and more icebreaker games.
For example, in 2015, the City of Brampton Parks & Recreation hired Andy to do a full day version of this program. The day started with keynote for over 600 staff for an hour, introducing half of the concepts of the session. Then Andy performed 5 workshops with smaller groups where he concluded with the second half of the program. In 2018 the Referee Supervisors of the Greater Toronto Hockey League participated in a 90 minute version of this program.

“Success Keys” – Unlocking Your Dreams in the 21st Century
Andy motivates his audience by reminding them that despite this great era of change, the keys to success have yet to change! Using his experiences and the experiences of friends he has met on his travels, Andy reveals that tomorrow's success starts with commitments made today. His 5 success keys are: Do More = Get More, Share your Care (Put the dreams of others along side your own, you accomplish your dreams quicker), Don’t Give Up (Mistakes and Challenges happen to everyone), Friendships and family are Everything, and Focus on your Future (Set goals).
Andy connects with an audience as soon as he opens his mouth. He does research on the audience before hand and it is reflected in the content and style of your presentation. Andy's message is about caring. He is able to bring home the fact that caring makes the world go round, and caring starts with YOU! He can tailor his presentation to any audience and listening to him makes you want to be a better person and makes you wonder how this world could be a better place if we all cared a little more.
