About Andrew Priestley

I’ve spent 27 years coaching and advising high-performing leaders in complex, high-stakes environments—mining, aviation, finance, healthcare, and professional services. 

My clients are owner-founders, executives, and senior leaders who aren’t new to responsibility, but are ready to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and control.

I started my career in Industrial and Organisational Psychology, and quickly became fascinated with one thing: what separates good managers from great leaders. That question has shaped my life’s work.

Over the decades, I developed the Business Leadership Profile (BLP)—a leadership performance profiling tool used worldwide to diagnose leadership strengths and development areas. It forms the foundation of my coaching programs, which include everything from intensive 3-month sprints to deep 12-month engagements.
