Andrea Lechner-Becker is a flexible chameleon. Like goo, or Great Stuff, Andrea can be applied to any situation and add value. But beware! Because her excitable energy has been known to be contagious. So, if you’re looking to maintain a stale environment, look elsewhere.
Her work in consulting exposed her to almost every industry and every problem. The hardest ones were always her favorite to solve. She believes solving big problems requires a forensic approach. Through systematic and scientific methods, all problems can be reduced to their simplest form and solution.
Andrea loves creating training and enabling people to craft their ideas in ways that make audiences perk up, listen and act. Her training programs mix sponsorship, mentorship, hands-on training and regimented feedback sessions with curriculum delivered across mediums.
So yes, Andrea is smart, capable and impossible to bore, but more than that, she brings an intangible quality that teams need: good-natured candor. In today’s world, being good-natured feels like a flaw. Smiling on a meeting. Not getting down to business right away. And yet, to get things done, to hear all sides in an impartial way, then to challenge the status quo and push for what’s next with candor, Andrea believes that good nature helps. She will bring a relatable, honest voice to any room.
As we continue to evolve in business and marketing, it is clear that fostering authentic connections, embracing new technologies, and empowering oneself through self-awareness will stand as fundamental pillars of growth in 2024 and beyond.
