Frequently Asked Questions

Before beginning work together, it’s natural to have a few questions. Below are some of the most common, answered openly to give you clarity, reassurance, and confidence in how Essor One operates. 

Why are there no pictures on your site?

Confidentiality is central to the way Essor One works. Many of the people I support do so in highly visible settings — whether that’s a business function, a professional gathering, or a social event. Having my image displayed publicly would undermine the very confidence and discretion I aim to provide.

By keeping the focus on you — rather than me — I ensure that your development, presence, and confidence are never compromised. The absence of pictures is intentional: it protects you, gives you peace of mind, and preserves the integrity of the work we do together.

That said:

• Some images can be shared privately on request.
  
  

• A selection is available on my Instagram page, though these are intentionally curated with privacy safeguards (for example, partial blurring or cropped detail).

How will I know it’s you when we meet? 

Before any in-person engagement, we’ll always connect first — usually through a virtual consultation. This not only gives you the chance to meet me, but also allows us to agree on simple assurance methods (such as a password or confirmation details) so you can feel completely secure.

That said, while this work is never about me, you may like to know a little about the person you’ll be meeting.

My name is Andrew. I bring with me an eclectic mix of experiences:

• Fitness is important to me. I played football at a high level. I represented Great Britain in endurance sports. Now I am mostly in the gym or doing Jujitsu.
  
  

• When an injury ended my football career, I actually did a bit of modelling and acting. In fact, I even acted alongside A-list actors.
  
  

• I'm hard working and driven. I was invited by a red brick university to complete a doctorate based on my leadership development program. I held executive and director roles across multiple organisations. I am a qualified coach with advanced leadership accreditations. In fact, I have worked with over 100 professionals as a leadership development coach.
  
  

• And most importantly, I have a Blue Peter badge.

These experiences don’t define me, but they have shaped the way I support others. What matters most is that I bring empathy, professionalism, and presence — so you feel both supported and confident, wherever our work takes us.
