Welcome to Andre's speaking services
Andre initially built his career in the legal field, working in-house with prominent insurance providers such as Royal Sun Alliance and Direct Line. In 2003, driven by a passion for people and a keen entrepreneurial spirit, he made a bold career shift, joining Robert Half International as a head-hunter.
His journey didn’t stop there—Andre founded Thomas Telman Consulting in 2012, where he now helps professional services elevate their workplace culture for better employee engagement and profitability.
A recognised authority in his field, Andre is a frequent speaker at global conferences and contributes to leading publications such as the Law Society and Leadership and Management magazine.

Andre believes...
The future of work requires leaders to have new skills because IQ alone is not sufficient for the fast moving world we live in today. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence changing the way we work, us humans need to develop our emotional intelligence to ensure our workplace remains competitive.
Emotional intelligence put simply is our ability to manage both our own emotions and understand the emotions of other people in our team and communities. This is a critical skill to help create the right workplace culture that keep employees engaged. After all, people do not leave jobs, they leave managers.
If you are seeking a keynote inspirational speaker or coaching on how leaders can master emotional intelligence then Andre is your man.
