Andy's Discovery Profile

Andy Dowling
I help organisations of all sizes—from FTSE and Fortune 100 companies to local not-for-profits—improve performance and ways of working. Whether it’s dysfunctional executive teams, high-performing teams seeking consistency, boardroom conflicts, or building an organisation-wide leadership programme, I bring clarity and alignment through a simple yet powerful approach, anchored in the magic of colour.
With 20 years of experience in Learning, Talent, and Organisational Development, I’m a Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Professional Development, an executive coach and mentor, and a business consultant. I also run The Colour Works, Europe’s largest Insights Discovery partner.
Beyond working directly with teams and leaders, I’ve contributed to national frameworks, research, and behavioural standards in leadership development. I’m a passionate speaker and thought leader, helping individuals, teams, and organisations in areas such as:
- Individual Development: Personal impact, performance, and coaching
- Team Performance: Team dynamics, trust, and healthy conflict
- Organisational Growth: Leadership development and culture change
- Strategic People Development: Embedding values, corporate storytelling, internal communications, behavioural frameworks, and performance strategies to drive real change
A keen rugby fan and a terrible golfer, I spent my first 30 years in London but now live in Wiltshire with my wife, two teenage children, and an ever-expanding flock of chickens.
