I first met Andrew Churchill last September through a video call, thanks to my coach, Rob Gilbert, who invited me to speak at a conference. As part of that experience, I had the opportunity to work with Andrew, a speaking coach, to refine my talk. That one-hour session was a game-changer. He didn’t just listen—he was fully engaged, absorbing every word and helping me get crystal clear on the message I wanted to deliver. His feedback gave me the push I needed to rewrite my talk and bring it to life. When I finally delivered it at the conference in October, it landed so well that two people approached me afterward and invited me to compete in Speaker Slam, an inspirational speaking competition.

That’s when I knew I needed to keep working with Andrew. From the start, he was raw, honest, and completely invested in my success. He mapped out a structured plan, set up two months of coaching sessions, and held me accountable every step of the way. He helped me overcome some key challenges—gaining clarity on my message, understanding critical elements of an impactful talk that I simply didn’t know due to inexperience, and, most importantly, making sure I actually practiced. He didn’t let me slide.

One of my favorite moments was when we met in person in a hotel lobby. We had time to kill, so we got right to work. At one point, we were literally on the floor, acting things out, completely immersed in perfecting my delivery while people looked on—but we didn’t care. We were locked in, focused, and in the moment. That’s what working with Andrew is like—deep, intentional, and transformative.

Beyond just coaching, I appreciate how much we connect on a personal level. We both value the outdoors, fitness, and family, which made working together even more natural. His coaching has not only shaped my growth as a speaker but also given me the confidence to step into thought leadership and use speaking as a powerful tool for building my business.

Andrew’s passion for helping speakers shine is undeniable—you can see it in everything he does. If you’re considering hiring him, don’t even hesitate. He’s funny but serious when it counts, professional yet approachable, and always a man of his word. He even went the extra mile by organizing a private event with a live audience to simulate my competition experience—giving me a real shot at fine-tuning my performance.

Simply put, Andrew is the real deal. I’m beyond grateful for his guidance, and if you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you, and bring out the best in you, he’s the one.
