I’m Andy – Executive Coach, Author, Group Facilitator, Speaker, Trainer, and Host of the Hopeful Hoosier Podcast®

Helping ambitious business professionals Fire Up performance and purpose.

I’m Andy Dix, a Board Certified Executive Coach (BCC) and President of AD Growth Advisers Inc. I partner with Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers, and Business Owners who are ready to move beyond simply surviving the demands of their roles — and instead thrive with greater clarity, confidence, competence, and purpose.

In today’s fast-moving, complex, and unpredictable business environment, standing still is not an option. Leaders must grow faster than their business, industry, and the world around them — or risk becoming obsolete. My work helps you do exactly that.

My Background

Before founding AD Growth Advisers in 2016, I spent years in corporate management roles. The majority of my career was at Comcast, where I grew to become the Divisional Director of Sales Effectiveness and Training for their Midwest Advertising Sales Division. That experience gave me firsthand insight into the real challenges business people face: immproving performance, navigating change, managing people dynamics, and delivering results under increasing pressure.

Today, I bring that practical corporate perspective together with deep expertise in executive coaching and motivation science. I’ve worked with senior executives and managers across a wide range of industries — from pharmaceutical and healthcare giants like Amgen, Eli Lilly, and Johnson & Johnson, to consumer brands like Coca-Cola and Chipotle, and technology and industrial organizations including Microsoft, Sony, and BAE Systems.

My Approach: The FIRE UP! Framework

I don’t believe in generic coaching. My work is grounded in motivation science (including the Reiss Motivation Profile®), collaborative change leadership, systemic coaching and practical, action-oriented strategies using proven frameworks.

I developed and use the FIRE UP! framework — a clear, six-step model designed specifically for busy executives:

• Find Your Purpose and Meaningful Mission
• Ignite Clarity and Vision
• Reflect on Current Reality
• Engage Collaborative Strategies
• Unleash Bold, Aligned Action
• Perform with Persistence, Purpose and Sustainability

Through focused, thought-provoking conversations (conducted confidentially via Zoom), I serve as a trusted, confidential confidant who challenges thinking, surfaces blind spots, and helps you translate insight into meaningful progress both professionally and personally.

Whether you’re looking for individual executive coaching, group/team coaching and development, or customized workshops, my programs are designed to fit your schedule, budget, and deliver tangible results.

Who I Work With

I work with ambitious people who:

• Want to navigate and influence more effectively in complex environments
• Are seeking to enact change, improve team dynamics, or increase personal growth
• Value having a confidential partner who helps them show up at their best and prepare for what is their next move
• Are committed to both high performance and meaningful purpose

My clients consistently report greater clarity, stronger decision-making, improved collaboration, and a renewed sense of energy and direction in their work and life.
