Andrew Utley has many backgrounds in the professional and personal development world. While graduating with honors from San Diego State University in Communication and Psychology, he invested his free time into learning as much as he could about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis as well as business training and facilitation. His love and passion is studying, learning and teaching about Communication and Psychology in a seminar training environment. As a business consultant, he has worked with a variety of industries but enjoys the thrill of being able to impart specialized knowledge to an audience more than sitting in offices. He‘s an internationally known speaker, having run large-scale training classes in the United States, Great Britain and Australia.
His style of communication and training is that of a fun, experiential environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, enjoy themselves and even challenge the methods being taught in order to fully understand how something works. While training, Andrew feels that he learns just as much from the students as the students learn from him. There is always something to be learned in every situation and Andrew’s insatiable hunger for knowledge allows him to be open to new ideas, while critically examining his own theories and system of beliefs.
In his personal time, he enjoys spending time with his amazing girlfriend, playing with his dog and personally developing his body and mind. He is preparing to enroll into a highly competitive Masters program at SDSU. While still taking time to train in martial arts, reading anything from Ayn Rand to Calvin & Hobbes, and attending Toastmasters and various other networking groups. He is available to contact on Facebook, but could never get into Twittering his every action and thought. Also, he always has a joke on hand and is looking forward to meeting you soon.
