Testimonials and Endorsements for Dr. Andy Molinsky and the Reach Method © Personal Change Systems LLC, 2019

Andy Molinsky has a fascinating way to build the connection between theory and practice. I had several opportunities to work with him and I’m sure that thanks to his insightful guidance also this new book will be a practical and useful guide for your personal development. Matthias Kempf Senior Director HR Emerging Markets for Adidas © Personal Change Systems LLC, 2019

As we think about professional development at the Bank, we continue to find ourselves discussing how to overcome the key barrier of “comfort zone”, i.e. how can we as an organization give our associates the tools and support to “take the leap” and push themselves in ways that are uncomfortable in order to help them achieve their professional ambitions. Having Andy's perspective was incredibly valuable for the group and the feedback we’ve received has been tremendous. Associates were impressed with Andy's ability to make a complex topic relatable and, in particular, his use of examples through his research made it easy for them to understand how to use Andy's tools in their day to day lives. Associates told us they had not really been able to pinpoint the reasons for their discomfort in taking on new challenges, and that this discussion of the root causes of avoidance was particularly insightful. Andy's session was exactly the type of content that we find valuable for our organization. Paulomi Shah, Managing Director, Bank of America © Personal Change Systems LLC, 2019

When I first heard Andy speak on the topic of stepping outside your comfort zone, I was thoroughly impressed. I knew this topic would be perfectly aligned with Dell’s Global Marketing Rotation Program (HiPo Program). The way in which Andy presented the content (structured/ simple/actionable) as well as the workshop format, made for an impactful event. The members walked away with tangible things they could put in to action immediately – he was rated extremely high on our post conference survey. I would highly recommend Andy and this topic – he has done so much work in this arena which brings so much value!

As a clinical psychologist I've encountered clients who struggle with workplace issues involving assertiveness, giving and accepting feedback and navigating the work environment in general. My clients arrive from a variety of cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. The employment domain requires a very specialized skill not all psychologist in private practice posses. Thankfully, I've discovered a resource for my clients to utilize outside of my office. REACH is the perfect guide and handbook. My clients find the techniques in Andy's book applicable to their situations and easy to adjust. Overtime, I've heard reports of improvements with work rapport, feeling less socially awkward and an overall boost in confidence.

Andy presented the REACH Training Program to our up and coming talent at Reebok. Everyone agreed that Andy’s approach is extremely personable, clear, confident and interactive. The exercises and group discussions helped to crystalize key messages and apply content on the job immediately. Participants enjoyed the program so much they asked for ongoing follow up sessions where they can learn more and hold each other accountable for actions plans. We are excited to have Andy return and continue the dialogue on Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone! Lauren Tupper, HR Talent Reebok USA © Personal Change Systems LLC, 2019
