Find Out What Colleagues and Students Say About You When You're Not There!

Andy Edwards is the creator of “RELATIONOMICS” - leveraging relationships for the best business results. He is an accredited behavioural psychologist, diploma qualified coach, and author of two books; one on Understanding People, the other about Leadership Behaviour.

Using a unique approach based on the question “What Planet Are You From?” Andy encourages that we look through the lens of our ‘Personality Telescopes’ to view people as inhabitants of different planets. “They do things differently there!”

Having spoken in over 20 countries to audiences of 30 to 3,000, he works with Leaders and their teams (sometimes at the same time!) to show how Relationships are the true currency of business. Because when citizens of different planets connect and build trust, performance and productivity automatically improve.

Andy’s online courses sell in their thousands across the world and have been translated into 32 languages.

His signature talks explore the direct link between better workplace relationships and a more harmonious culture (‘solar system’), higher discretionary effort, efficient leadership, and ultimately, an effective and positive culture.

Many organisations suggest that “People are our greatest asset!” But fewer specifically target investment towards creating, building, maintaining, and (where necessary) repairing relationships in the workplace.

Whether addressing Leaders or highlighting how company culture develops, Andy makes it clear through his planets analogy: How you behave and impact others is a vital element in whether the organisation’s values shine through – or simply get lost in space.

Andy is trusted by service industries, including legal, financial, insurance, accountancy, consultancy, banking, construction, and IT. His message is also effective for engineering, manufacturing, medical (including pharma), and heavy industry like oil/gas. Past clients include: Association of British Insurers, Association of Reflexologists, ADNOC (Abu Dhabi), Barclays, Borouge (Emirates), British American Tobacco, Carnival Cruise line (USA), JP Morgan, Liberty Global (Europe), The NHS, Sony, Stannah, RIAD, and many others.

WHY PEOPLE BOOK ANDY:

  • MOTIVATIONAL/ENGAGING. His focus is that, by the end of his talk, the audience behaves in a different way – if only the ‘extra inch’.
  • THOUGHT PROVOKING. Andy offers fresh perspectives from real experiences. His stories captivate, guaranteeing new insights.
  • ENJOYABLE/FUN. Andy believes learning is easy with a smile on one’s face – there is always an entertaining counterpoint to the serious messages he delivers.

Testimonials from Teachers

"Andy connects with his audience on so many levels, thought provoking, encouraging and above all inspiring. His ability to translate big themes into positive actions is amazing, and his superb input into our Leadership Charter, Leadership Conference and whole college conferences has been extremely well received! If you haven’t worked with Andy yet, I’d thoroughly recommend working with him!"



– Debbie Smith Chief people Officer at Bournemouth and Poole College

"Andy facilitated a session around leading with trust and what that should look and feel like. As part of the session I got the chance to safely complete my “board break” in front of all my peers. This was both uplifting and motivating after finding myself letting fear get in the way of my development and Andy’s session literally helped me break through this fear! I look forward to continuing this work on myself with Andy!"



– Pippa Alner Board of Directors at the Career Development Institute

"With Andy, you don’t just get a speaker, you get a transformative experience packed with actionable steps that you can implement immediately. His passion, depth of understanding, and ability to connect with his audience make him an outstanding choice for any event."
