About Andrea Wooles
Andrea Wooles is a Certified Organizational Coach, and a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF). As such, she abides by the ICF Code of Ethics including professional conduct, scope of practice, and confidentiality.
Andrea has been working in Olympic and Paralympic sport for nearly 25 years as a scientist and a manager. While she has mostly worked in cycling, she has consulted with various other sports from community up to Olympic level.
At the moment, Andrea is working full time on creating safe and positive environments in sport in British Columbia, at viaSport BC, where she has worked since 2021.
Coaching is way for Andrea to bring her perspective from these experiences to people within and outside of sport, as many of the lessons learned in sport apply directly to the corporate world and vice versa.
