Corporate Emotional Overdraft Coaching

Emotional overdraft is the hidden cost your business might be paying for performance.

Coined in Andy’s Amazon #1 bestselling book ‘The Emotional Overdraft’, the term describes what happens when individuals and teams give more emotional energy than they get back – consistently and without recovery. It’s the quiet drain behind stress, burnout, presenteeism, and disengagement. And in high-performance cultures, it often goes unnoticed until it’s too late.

At an organisational level, Emotional Overdraft looks like:

Top performers hitting breaking point
Leaders doing too much of the doing
Managers unable to set boundaries or ask for help
A culture where people believe ‘this is just how it is’

Andy’s eo coaching approach helps large teams and senior leaders identify, measure and reduce emotional overdraft – at an individual and systemic level. Using a proven framework and set of practical tools, he works with organisations to build healthier habits, better leadership behaviours, and a culture that supports sustainable performance. This isn’t just about wellbeing. It’s about shifting how your business thinks about ambition, resilience, and what it really costs to keep the lights on. The result? Stronger leaders, healthier teams, and a workforce that can thrive without burning out.

Case study snapshots

Guiding an MD in a global group

A Managing Director in a UK agency was reporting into a demanding US parent company. The UK arm was comparatively small, yet expected to deliver disproportionate results against aggressive US benchmarks. The MD felt isolated and under-resourced, and the communication gap between UK and US expectations was growing. Upward management was critical — but difficult.

Strengthening leadership confidence in uncertainty

A founder-led agency had grown from a solo consultancy into a well-regarded business, but the founder was now isolated at the top. The leadership team was junior and lacked experience, and the client base was unstable — with unpredictable briefs and revenues. The founder struggled to hold the team accountable or plan confidently for the…

Managing change and legacy behaviours

An experienced CEO faced major disruption: two senior leaders left the business at the same time, and the market was shifting fast in how clients procured agency services. On top of that, legacy behaviours from the early days of the business were beginning to clash with the expectations of a newer team. There was a…

Following a co-founder’s extended illness and absence, the remaining founder was thrust into a CEO role that didn’t come naturally. A highly capable executive creative director, they had never planned to lead the business operationally. The result was uncertainty at the top, inconsistent leadership, and a team unsure who was steering the ship. The founder…
