CLLP - Episode 1 Meet Andrea
===
Andrea: [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Conscious Living and Leadership Podcast. I wanted to offer you this short bonus episode to share a bit more about who I am, not just professionally, but personally because I believe we live and lead in a way that's interconnected. It's never really separate, is it? My name is Andrea Al tier .
I used to be a programmer. Today I work fully with people and transformation, but personal development has always been part of my life. Before I studied technology, I was actually considering to study psychology, and interestingly, that's where I've ended up. After working in software development, I moved into team leadership, project management, and later into Agile and business agility.[00:01:00]
It actually started while I was a software developer to work in an Agile way, but I had a a little path on the side there before I turned back into Agile and business agility. And at the same time that I moved into team leadership I experienced that something deeper was unfolding within me.
I was reading everything I could on personal development and leadership, and then came to coaching, then came therapy, and eventually spirituality. I've always loved my work. But as I grew, I started to notice that the real challenges weren't in the systems or the processes or the tools they were actually in, the people in conversations that didn't happen, and the invisible tension that could often be [00:02:00] in teams and the energy between us.
And that's when I realized that. My personal and professional paths weren't really separate anymore. They had merged Kaizen. Continuous improvement has always been part of me. It's probably why I resonated so deeply with Agile, but over time even that wasn't enough for me. I felt that there was something still missing both in my work and in me.
So after more than 20 years in tech, I felt this pull towards something deeper, a fascination with human potential, with inner transformation and with energy awareness. That's what led me to where I am now. Today I guide leaders and organizations through what I call conscious living and leadership. [00:03:00] And for me it's a layered journey that begins within my work is rooted in presence, alignment, and self-exploration through experiential learning.
Because I truly believe that real change is holistic. It includes the mind and it includes the body, and it includes the spirit. And when we connect with all parts of ourselves, we lead with more intuition, with more authenticity and with more impact. And that's how transformation happens. Not just for us, but for our teams, for our cultures and our work.
That's also why I use a wide range of tools, radical collaboration, the human element coaching therapy, and yes, even astrology. But what I [00:04:00] trust the most is the moment between us, the honesty, the energy. And what emerges right here, right now,
even though many of my tools are grounded in decades of research, the work itself is alive. It's relational, it's real. My journey has taken me from a very conventional career path to a more unconventional one, and it's through this path that I've come to understand learning as something deeply embodied.
What I've seen in my own life and with my clients is that growth doesn't just happen in the mind. We are too often stuck in our hands and in the process. And we disconnect from our bodies, from our intuition and [00:05:00] from our sense of wholeness. But when we reconnect with ourselves, we reconnect with others.
And that's where real leadership begins. And that's what I want to offer in this podcast. A space to come home to yourself. To explore what really matters to you and to build a life and a way of living, and leading that feels good to live inside.
Thank you for walking this path with me.
I encourage you to stay connected to what's true to you.
