Episode 194 – Andy Fry – Help Anyone Who Asks…

Model Other People but Be Authentic Self with Andy Fry Today, we are excited to have Andy Fry in our show. Andy Fry founded Quantas Consulting Corp in May of 2008; a consulting organisation focused on Oracle tools and applications, which he continues to operate. His career and life experiences prompted him to recognise that some individuals separate themselves from others by identifying and executing patterns that result in high levels of achievement. He’s been inspired to find models and processes that provide repeatable success by analysing the interactions of others as well as using his own experiences. Andy searches for methods to nurture relationships & enhance thought processes & behaviour which help others improve their careers. He shares his content & findings through The Consulting Playbook.com, a site he founded to provide tools and information to help others improve their careers. He’s the author of The Trust Paradigm and The Consultants Code and speaks to companies on Trust. He lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with his wife and two children. Let’s tap into some of his wisdom.  Tune in!
