Andrea Gillespie, CPA, CHRP, CEC, PCC

As a CPA, Andrea grew within corporate financial planning and reporting leadership roles at large, international organizations for 25 years, fuelling her curiosity to better understand human motivation/behaviour and what shapes workplace cultures.

In fall 2018, this inspired her to pursue a CHRP designation, and a new career path in human resources.

Focused on leadership development, Andrea sought EQ-i 2.0® certification with EITC in December 2019, serving as the platform for her solo business launch as a facilitator, consultant, and leadership coach. 

In August 2022, she earned a Certified Executive Coaching (CEC) designation from Royal Roads University and currently holds a PCC credential with the ICF.

Andrea further deepened her understanding of motivation and relationship intelligence (RQ) by becoming a certified Core Strengths SDI 2.0 facilitator, in October 2022.

An enthusiastic member of the EITC alumni community since certification, Andrea thrives on building connected relationships, and coaching partnerships underpinned by curiosity, vulnerability, and authenticity—virtually and in-person.
