Andy Finestone (Gild) OAM
 

Communication and wellbeing coach

Keynote speaker 

Founder On The Move coaching

CEO and co-founder Bicycles for Humanity, Melbourne.

My passion lies in connecting, challenging and bringing out the best in others.

I do this by:

  • Combining 25 years experience as a physiotherapist with the latest neuroscientific research.

  • Certifications in Coaching, Leadership and Mentoring, Conversational Intelligence® , Neurozone®, and Positive Intelligence®.

  • Supporting sustainable behavioural and mindset change.

  • Integrating the neuroscience behind our conversations to develop greater trust, deeper relationships and improved personal and work outcomes.

  • Empowering individuals, teams and organisations to develop resilience and other capacities essential for high performance. 

  • Understanding our core values are important for both individuals and organisations to help promote positive action.

  • Appreciating the importance of continually building our mental fitness through exercising our mental muscles. Giving us the power to be in more control of how we feel, of improving our relationships and performing better in whatever we put our minds to.

  • ​Believing good physical and mental health comes from taking care of how we move, what we eat, our mindset, our relationships and connections, our sleeping habits as well as paying attention to our daily stressors. 

  • Encouraging living outside our comfort zones in order to live purposeful and fulfilled lives and with more energy. (As a triathlete and ultra marathon runner I lead by example.)

 

I am authentic and empathetic and my solid understanding of the physical body and the effects of stress on all aspects of our lives, together with knowledge of positive psychology, means that I deliver a complete mind body approach. 

On a personal note, I am blessed with 2 wonderful adult children and a growing blended family from my partner, Jacqui. I am proud to have been awarded a Medal of The Order of Australia (OAM) for my volunteer work with Bicycles for Humanity, Melbourne and truly believe giving back has an important benefit to our own wellbeing. I love adventure, sports, travel, movies and games ¨̮ 

 

As well as providing standard methods of consultation, my passion for exercise and fitness provides the opportunity for coaching sessions to be carried out whilst walking or running​.

TESTIMONIALS

I run a non-profit organisation that faced a challenging time as our main programme matured and our roles changed. Andy helped enormously to think through solutions for progress. She facilitated group work with other stakeholders as well as one-on-one sessions to think through strategy, and in just six months helped us and our partners make significant advances, with tangible results. Her energy, enthusiasm and ability to draw out ideas have been a great asset.
