Competitive advantage is found less in WHAT you do, and more in WHO you are and HOW you do it
I started training in the recruitment industry back in 2000 delivering in-house training and seminars to recruitment consultancies, HR professionals and line managers.
In 2010 I founded the number one company culture blog Enviable Workplace, to help companies create great company culture to better attract, engage and retain the best people in their marketplace. Since its beginnings, over 200,000 international HR directors, managers, employees and leaders have read or contributed insights.
The blog focuses on every aspect of workplace culture including the vision & values, talent acquisition, EVP, employee engagement, collaborative and productive physical environments, and great reputations & employer brands.
My presentation/ workshop is designed to help leaders create better candidate experience in the recruitment process and more motivated and engaged employees.
I’m also Co-Founder at PerceptionX, a boutique consultancy dedicated to helping ambitious employers refine the narrative that shapes candidate perception—especially in an era of AI-powered discovery and reputation.
We analyze how your employer brand is portrayed across every channel that matters and craft unbiased strategies and recommendations that ensure your reputation stays visible, credible, and competitive—helping you attract quality talent who truly fit your culture and values.
Additionally, I speak at schools to help 6th formers understand how the world of work has changed, and how they can find competitive advantage during their transition.
Andy gives a lively and engaging talk, supporting sixth formers to find and reflect on their inner values in order to help them gain a competitive edge in this dynamic work place.

A superb presentation from Andy. It was varied, thought provoking and expertly delivered. Our students were fully engaged at all times and the feedback was very positive. We are looking forward to hosting him again next year.

It was the most enjoyable talk I’ve attended! Super relevant and truly interesting! It’s refreshing to see someone else care about our personal values. It was a really interesting exercise.

Andy came and gave a highly motivating and interesting talk to our Sixth Form on identifying what motivates them for their future career, and the importance of developing their own vision, purpose and values for work. All our pupils were hugely receptive and found the content both accessible and relevant, as they start to think about their future. It was a fresh perspective and pupils were able to engage with Andy’s content and delivery.
Nicola Jackson – Head of Sixth Form, St John’s School Leatherhead
I attended your speech in Airbnb and it was one of the best speeches I ever attended. Thank you so much for coming by. It was truly inspirational. I have talked with several people and everyone seemed blown away in the best way possible. This was an amazing experience. For someone as sceptical as I am, it makes me see things differently.
