Andrew Long — Executive and Life Coach in Austin, Texas

Years Experience

Kick Into Gear

For more than two decades, I have guided many accomplished accomplished professionals through executive coaching and life coaching that redefines what's possible. From C-suite executives navigating organizational complexity to creative visionaries seeking clarity, I bring a rare combination of real time application, neuroscience-backed methodology, and precise insight into every conversation.

My approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about addressing root causes and creating the conditions for genuine, sustainable transformation. It's not for the faint hearted.

"Creating change is an inside job. That is where we begin."

Strategic Coaching for
Lasting Change

Real tools, applied in real time. Not theory — lived experience that creates new pathways to happiness, success, clarity, and deeper connection.

Love What You Do

Through personalized life coaching and executive coaching, I have worked with clients in a wide range of sectors. From a rock-star brain surgeon, to a rock star in London (you've probably jammed out to his songs on the radio.) Start-up entrepreneurs, fintech, creatives/entertainment, hospitality, and a NASA spaceship designer. Add in a former White House official, NY Times best selling author, plenty of CEOs, COOs, CTOs, and ER docs.

How could your business or life be even better?

1. Discovery. The concept Is what is. We'll identify what is truly going on and where you want to go.

2. Insight. Without it, understanding is merely philosophy. What's the why underneath it.

3. Action. We'll translate every breakthrough into concrete steps you can practice between sessions and in the moments that matter most.

4. Integration. The ultimate goal: your growth becomes self-sustaining. The tools and playbook become instinct.

5. Accountability. When you know that I know what you are committed to and taking action on, you'll discover a powerful completion loop.

Go to the root — affect it all

Think of it as a tree. Why focus on one branch here, and on another branch there, when you can just go to the root system and affect it all? From that place everything stems, upward and outward to all the different branches of your life.

It doesn't make a difference whether you make $275,000 a year, or monthly. The core issues are the same. If you change, everything else can.

Same letters. Different arrangement. Different life.

From Reactive to Creative

Most high-achievers have mastered reactive excellence — putting out fires, solving problems as they arise, performing under pressure. But reactive living keeps you in a cycle of response rather than creation.

Strategic coaching helps you shift from reactive patterns to creative ones. You learn to design your responses, choose your emotional state, and architect the life you actually want — not just manage the one you've inherited.

The same letters that spell 'reactive' also spell 'creative.' The difference is where you place your focus and energy.

What Clients Experience

I see my life in two parts — before I started working with Andrew, and after. He has helped open my eyes up to what was possible. I have since made a huge shift in my business.

— Peter L.

He gives me insight, insight, insight! That's the most powerful executive tool to have.

— William J.

For an executive like me, your ability to illuminate how my work life, personal life, my marriage, finances and interests are all related keeps my priorities in order.

— Steven R.

I used to watch life go by. Since working with Andrew, I am now in the middle of it. There is an openness and aliveness I didn't know was possible.

— Linda C.

Whenever I have a coaching session with you I feel an instantaneous shift. I leave empowered with realistic action items and a greater sense of myself.

— Hank Z.

Andrew has the ability to connect seemingly unrelated issues. That focus helped me move forward with an assured clarity.

— Karen B.

Working with you is exactly what I needed. I used to stand at the precipice and was afraid to take the leap. That has all changed.

— Linda M.

At first I wasn't sure about coaching. But then right away I started to see direct results that have impacted both my professional and personal life.

— Elizabeth W.

I wish I would have started to work with you years ago. It would have saved me so much grief and anxiety.

— Sean A.

I feel like a lot of mental blocks have fallen away. Andrew provided me with so many ways to generate ideas and make a change.

— Shannon L.

Andrew is a wise and compassionate teacher. His life coaching has a lot to bring to the table and is generous in doing so.

— Frank C.

I got that I won't be happy until I am living my life authentically. During our session Andrew gave me specific tools to stop hiding and living in fear.

— Sarah K.

What to Expect

Thoughtful answers to the questions many clients have before beginning.

Everyone is unique. Generally speaking we'll meet weekly for 60 minutes. Each session is shaped by where you are in that moment — we might work through a specific challenge, explore patterns you've noticed, practice new tools, or go deep on something that surfaced during the week. There's no rigid script; the work follows your growth. In between we might exchange texts, emails, and phone calls.

Everything in your life starts with you. Your results—at work, at home, in your relationships, with your finances—are a direct reflection of how you think, communicate, and act.

Clients usually arrive feeling stuck across a few key areas: direction, decision-making, communication, stress, focus, or follow-through. On the surface, the problems look different—leadership missteps, career friction, relationship strain, financial pressure—but underneath, they tend to trace back to the same core issues.

After 24+ years working with everyone from solo entrepreneurs to C-suite executives, from filmmakers to chart-topping artists, the pattern is consistent:

Do you know what you actually need—and do you know how to get those needs met?

That's the work.

Things change all the time so we need to upgrade our mindset and tools. Leading a 10 person team or company uses one set of skills, though leading 75, 500, or 14,000 employees requires a whole other set.

Therapy tends to be solely focused on the personal past while coaching is about all of you in real time. We work with where you are now and where you want to go. That said, the work can be deeply personal — we address the root causes of patterns, not just surface-level behaviors. Everything is interconnected, so at times we may switch back and forth about "business" and "personal/relationship". You'll soon discover it is all just different sides of the same coin.
It varies. Some clients achieve their goals in several months; others find ongoing coaching to be a valuable part of their personal and professional development for years. There's no minimum commitment — the relationship continues as long as it serves your growth. That said I have current clients who have been working with me 3, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 years because it's effective and continues to bring them professional, personal, relational, and monetary value.
Both. I work one-on-one with executives and also serves as a strategic partner for leadership teams. Several clients describe him as "the glue" to their executive team — someone who helps align vision, communication, and decision-making across the organization.
This is a premium, personalized engagement. We'll explore during our initial discovery call what is best for your needs.

Confidentiality, Confidentiality, Confidentiality

In a coaching relationship built on trust, confidentiality isn't a policy — it's a cornerstone. My clients include those entrusted with trade secrets, internal corporate practices, sensitive financial details, detailed personal aspects of their primary relationship/marriage, fears/deep thoughts, personal trauma, and high-stakes decisions.

Absolute Discretion

Some of my clients are public figures (entertainment, creative, political) and business (Fortune 50, Wall Street.) I understand that concern and will hold the strictest confidentially for everyone.

Protected Conversations

Everything shared in session — from business strategy to personal struggles — remains completely private.

Safe Space for Processing

Whether processing a corporate crisis or a personal crossroads — the space is held with complete safety. For example, one of my clients, a hospital physician, had a patient die while in her care due to unforeseen circumstances. We went through entire case in detail, including my client's doubts, potential medical missteps, etc. There is no way this could happen if I did not provide a strict circle of trust and confidentiality.

Referral Privacy

I will not acknowledge a referral back to the person who made it, and will not confirm whether someone has started working with me — without explicit permission from the new client.

Start a Conversation

The first step is simply reaching out. Share a bit about where you are and where you'd like to go.
