Andrea Novakowski, MBA. MCC is an executive and personal coach who has been helping clients align their professional goals with their personal values since 1997. By tapping into Andrea’s knowledge, tools and skills, clients are able to meld career development and personal growth to reach higher productivity and deeper levels of job and personal satisfaction. Andrea helps individuals navigate the shifts that occur at the intersection of career and life, including small-business entrepreneurship, forging and maintaining business partnerships, deriving full benefit from a recent promotion, and balancing career with parenthood.
Andrea brings 20 years of experience to her coaching business, both as a corporate executive and a small business owner.
Andrea recognizes the importance of giving, whether it’s through charitable work, networking or helping others. She does this through her non-profit work at places such as Babson College’s Center for Women’s Leadership and the International Coach Federation of New England, where she is a Past President. She enjoys inviting others to participate in her giving programs – sharing the opportunity to see what is possible through involvement. Andrea organizes Pounce on a Project – a monthly call to action for people to take on that special project that never seems to get done. Building relationships between and among people is one of Andrea’s values that she clearly honors.
Why I love being a coach: “I love helping people find solutions to questions they have and helping them move past places they are stuck in their lives. I love the relationship of trust that is built as I hold their vision for them, and they move forward in their lives. I love hearing about what they want to accomplish, where they want to get to, and then helping them get there by holding their vision, gently prodding them along, and finding ways to get there…in a way that fits with who they are.”
What Andrea’s clients say:
“My work with Andrea helped me understand my own personal values, and made it easier for me to move forward with some big decisions. Measuring my accomplishments was and continues to be a wonderful gift.” Director of Payroll, North America, Equipment Rental Industry
“Andrea’s thoughtful approach helped me see for myself that my job wasn’t supporting my overall professional and personal development. Working with Andrea really helped me make some tough decisions that ultimately moved me forward.” Marketing Consultant, Edible Landscape Design
She was recently voted for the third time a Top Ten Executive Coach by “Women’s Business Boston”. Andrea and her husband, Bill, reside in Ashland, MA and have two adult children, James and Anna.
