Meet Andrew Barber-Starkey

Master Certified Coach

Meet Andrew Barber-Starkey, Master Certified Coach and founder of the ProCoach Success System™.

In his 20s, Andrew worked in a wide range of industries and positions. During that time, he established two successful small businesses; a hang gliding school and industrial first aid company. He also spent 6 years as a professional hang glider pilot and instructor, competing internationally and setting numerous national records.

In his early 30s, Andrew launched into a career in corporate sales working for Xerox. His competitive nature combined with his desire to serve others helped him thrive in sales, and he won many accolades and performance awards. His sales success led him up the ladder to international sales consulting, sales training and ultimately to design and deliver sales training courses for two large international corporations.

In 1993, Andrew realized that his greatest passion and gift was assisting others to improve their sales and business results. This inspired him to launch a private practice to help business owners, entrepreneurs, and sales professionals he knew. At the time, Andrew had never heard of a business coach. Little did he know that he was just one of many enterprising pioneers who were launching a brand-new industry.

30 Years of Synergistic Partnerships

When he started his business in 1993, Andrew thought coaching was about “telling” his clients how to solve their sales and business problems so they could be more successful. He soon learned that the key was not just to teach others, but to empower them. He found that when his clients’ business results improved, the impact was transformational. His coaching was having a positive impact on all areas of their lives: their confidence, their health, their financial situations, their personal and family lives, and their overall quality of life.

Andrew has found that the secret to great business coaching is to develop synergy with the client: a dynamic where the client and the coach combine their knowledge, experience, and creativity to generate a solution that surpasses what the coach or client could achieve independently. This kind of collaborative coaching partnership generates better business outcomes, builds greater confidence, and results in personal expansion for the client.

Andrew is now in his fourth decade of coaching. He has coached thousands of small business owners, executives, financial professionals and salespeople to achieve their goals, from rookies to seasoned entrepreneurs, including many multi-millionaires and prominent business leaders. Some client engagements are brief, focused on a single issue or opportunity. Others have used his services continuously for over 20 years.

Accelerate Your Success Through Coaching

Andrew is a committed learner who has spent thousands of hours as a student in training classes, workshops, and seminars. Not surprisingly, his greatest areas of interest are sales and marketing, leadership, and personal/spiritual development.

He passionately believes in the power of coaching and has invested heavily in the services of high-level coaches to develop his own coaching practice and skills. During his many years of studying, coaching and being coached he has built a substantial community of great resources, many of whom have become close friends.

Andrew’s Perspective on Business Coaching

  1. Nobody “needs” a coach: The choice to work with a business coach is a decision made by those who are committed to getting ahead faster, while playing a bigger game in an enjoyable and sustainable way.

  2. Coaching is an investment: Within a reasonable period of time, you should expect your expenditure on coaching to return far more than the amount you invest in coaching.

  3. Coaching is synergistic: You bring your challenges, opportunities and priorities to your coach. Your coach contributes a broad range of experience, wisdom and proven strategies. The resulting collaboration multiplies your effectiveness and your results many times over.

  4. Your coach only wins when you win! As your coach, I am committed to YOUR success. I only win when you win!

If you have a desire to get ahead faster, without working harder, contact Andrew for a consultation to discuss your priorities and get your questions answered.
