Andrew Bryant – The Global Authority on Self-Leadership

According to Andrew Bryant, self-leadership means taking full responsibility for your results—without blaming others or making excuses. While this can be challenging, self-leaders see options and seize opportunities when others are waiting to be rescued.

We don’t choose our time or place of birth, our DNA, parents, or early education. However, by practicing self-leadership, we can take ownership and become the driver, rather than the passenger, of our lives and careers.

Andrew’s pioneering work on self-leadership has been cited in over 140 research papers and Ph.D. dissertations, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the field. He also developed the first-ever Self-Leadership Situational Judgment Test, making him one of the most respected voices on the subject. As Andrew emphasizes, "You can’t lead others unless you first lead yourself."

With a proven track record of working with disruptive Silicon Valley startups and complex multinational corporations, Andrew Bryant has demonstrated that effective leadership is built through powerful conversations—both one-to-one and one-to-many.

His most recent book, The New Leadership Playbook, commissioned by a global client, outlines the twelve essential leadership conversations every leader must master. Andrew is currently working on his fifth book, Potential-ize, to be published by Wiley.

A master storyteller, Andrew draws from his diverse experiences and reflections, creating an authentic connection with his audience. His relatable approach leaves audiences thinking, "That’s me."

Born in England, Australian by passport, Asian by experience, Brazilian by marriage, and now living in Portugal, Andrew brings a truly global perspective to leadership and self-leadership development.
