For the past two decades, Dr. Andy Neillie’s career has been characterized by speaking, training, and leading teams. Dr. Andy is a keynote speaker, corporate trainer, coach, and consultant, traveling weekly to conduct workshops on leadership and sales-related topics for a wide range of audiences, including Fortune 500 companies, franchises, small and mid-sized businesses, trade groups, and associations. Leveraging a solid background in management and sales, he excels at inspiring clients and audiences to take actions that benefit both individuals and their organizations.

Equally important is his passion for the personal aspects of leadership, with a focus on building trust. In addition to teaching leadership principles at Concordia University’s MBA program, he published his first book “The Golden Principles: Life and Leadership Lessons from a Rescued Dog,” a book honored by Amazon.com with a “Top 100 Best Books of the Year” award in 2015. This work reflects simple, yet profound lessons on living and leading well, drawn from the perspective of a Golden Retriever.

Clients hire Dr. Andy to help them develop their leaders because he is one: owning several businesses, managing a team of key leaders, and holding ultimate profit and loss responsibility for significant annual revenues. With more than fifteen years of experience as a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, he has honed the craft, focusing on leadership and sales. An avid reader, Dr. Andy reads over fifty books a year, applying current insights to benefit leaders and their teams.

Dr. Andy’s goal is to deliver keynote speeches, facilitate workshops, and engage in executive coaching to help develop leaders, improve employee retention, and enhance performance.

This program is specifically designed for front-line managers, those new to management, those facing leadership hurdles, and managers of underperforming teams.

Andy doesn’t do traditional motivational speaking. That’s just not him. Instead, he aims to create space for real connection—interactive, engaging sessions that pull people in and challenge them to think differently. In a recent keynote with a group of sales leaders, they unpacked what it takes to lead in today’s fast-changing marketplace. Here are three takeaways that really stuck with them: 1. Empathy is a sales superpower. Too often, empathy gets left behind in the race to close. But when we truly understand where our clients are coming from, we build trust—and trust drives everything else. 2. Change is the new constant. One of the leaders in the room said it best: “We can’t sell the way we’ve sold before.” - couldn’t agree more. The marketplace is evolving fast, and adaptability isn’t optional—it's the key to staying relevant. 3. Vulnerability opens doors. The group was challenged: “Are you humble enough to admit your weaknesses?” That kind of honesty is where growth begins. When we stop pretending and start owning our gaps, we create space for transformation. If you’re tired of surface-level leadership talks and want something that meets your team where they’re really at—let’s connect. Andy is passionate about helping leaders reimagine their influence through empathy, adaptability, and authenticity. Let’s lead the change together. ...less

In the deeply moving keynote "The Golden Principle," Dr. Andy Neillie shares the touching story of Redford, a Golden Retriever who spent the first year of his life in a squalid puppy mill. When Redford was rescued by Dr. Neillie and his wife, not only did he have much to learn about trust and relationships, but so did they. Their journey with Redford became the foundation for the best-selling book The Golden Principles: Life and Leadership Lessons from a Rescued Dog. This presentation not only recounts their heartwarming story but also distills essential lessons on trust that have since transformed both their home life and business environments. This keynote is versatile and highly impactful, making it the perfect after-dinner event for a company meeting, an inspiring wrap-up to an offsite customer service retreat, or the kick-off keynote for an HR summit. Through "The Golden Principle," Dr. Neillie invites audiences of all levels to rediscover the transformative power of trust. His narrative is a powerful illustration that effective leadership—much like caring for a rescued dog—requires patience, understanding, and the genuine desire to connect. This keynote is designed to inspire, enlighten, and remind us that the principles of care and trust are universal, extending far beyond the confines of any single environment. ...less
