Leadership Coach to Empower Women
From LOSS TO LEADERSHIP
I'm here to empower women — to stop shrinking, start leading, and build the kind of lives and legacies that actually feel like their own.
I know what it feels like to be overlooked, dismissed, or told to “stay in line.” Like many women, I was taught to be agreeable, likeable, and non-threatening — even when it cost me.
But grief cracked me open. Losing my mother. Leaving my marriage. Facing trauma I thought I had outrun.
I refused to let those experiences define me. Instead, I turned inward — through counselling, coaching, and my commitment to self-work. I call this my Power of Three: turning my deepest pain into my greatest power.
Now, I help other women do the same — finding their voice, trusting their power, and breaking the rules that were never made for us in the first place.
Before founding Limitless Women Lead, I spent over two decades leading global campaigns, brand strategy, and million-dollar partnerships across the corporate and not-for-profit sectors.
From launching Olympic brands in embassies to brokering philanthropic partnerships at Mission Australia, my work has always centred on connection, influence, and impact.
I’ve sat on advisory boards, mentored emerging leaders, and built strategies that change systems. Here’s what I’ve learned:
Leadership is not about titles. It’s about presence.
How we show up for ourselves
How we lift others
How we choose values over ego
How we speak up, even when our voices shake
Today, I bring that strategic, no-BS lens to coaching and speaking — empowering women to lead differently in workplaces, families, and communities.
20+ Years of Experience. One Clear Mission: Empower Women
SUZI ADDLEY -
“Andrea encouraged and supported me in reflecting on and defining my own values – and, over time, we together constructed a set of robust coping mechanisms, transferrable to both personal and professional situations, to empower me to take the lead in my own life, driven by a steadfast value-focused approach.”
I don’t coach women to fit into broken systems.
I coach them to challenge the system, change it — or leave it entirely and build their own.
My coaching, speaking, and strategic work are grounded in SDG Goal 5: Gender Equality.
The reality is stark:
At the current rate, it will take 140 years to reach equal representation in leadership.
Almost half of women still lack autonomy over their own reproductive rights.
I’ve contributed to UN Women’s mission as a mentor, committee member, and speaker — and every International Women’s Day, I bring that message to organisations and communities.
Because when women have a seat at decision-making tables, we all rise.
MY ADVOCACY: SDG 5 - GENDER EQUALITY
What I Believe (And What I Help Women Reclaim)
Women don’t need to be fixed. They need to be freed
Leadership isn’t about power over — it’s about power within
We rise by breaking the rules that were never made for us
Sisterhood, strategy, and stubborn optimism can change the world
