Green, co-author of The Trusted Advisor and author of Trust-Based Selling. “Dozens, if not hundreds, of firms offer skill-building programs for listening, relationship building, and communication. Andrea aims far beyond—to create the beliefs, attitudes and confidence that drive behaviors, and create personal and firm growth far after the ‘event’.”

Charles added, “She has integrated improv comedy skills into her programs; designed hands-on new consultant training programs; is a skilled speaker and trainer as well as consultant. Her life is integrated--a BBA in computer information systems and an MS in Organization Development. She has forged a strong relationship with me that has brought rigor and power to my own work on trusted relationships. She is singularly leading the way to a better model.”

“Charles H. Green is one the best of the best when it comes to building trusted relationships with clients. To be nominated by him is an honor,” said Andrea.
