What Andrea McLean's clients say
"Andrea spoke at our Twenty Club members dinner held at Home House and attended by over 100 people. Andrea was the perfect guest and speaker with her fascinating, humble and humorous stories from the start of her career till now, where she has turned her passion for supporting other women into her latest venture, she inspired and entertained us all. She also answered numerous questions and spent time with our guests after speaking which was much appreciated . I have had so many comments from our members and guests who loved hearing her journey and particularly her bravery regarding resigning from her high-profile job and focusing on helping women. In fact, many said they would have loved to hear more about that element of her life, so we may have to get her back! Fun fact - the March dinner historically is the quietest but thanks to Andrea we had a full house."
"We invited Andrea to be our keynote speaker at our Audience With Event, and she absolutely smashed it. The members loved her, and she created such a lovely vibe in the room – she had us all on the edge of our seat, laughing one minute and in awe the next. We were humbled listening to her story – it’s easy to see why the world loves her so much."
"Andrea hosted the evening with warmth and grace. She made me feel empowered talking about my life story in such a gentle and encouraging way."
"Andrea was such a pro; it was a privilege to work with her and have her support on such an important evening."
"It was amazing to hear about Andrea’s personal journey and advice to girls in the audience. Everyone was so inspired and the feedback has been fantastic. Andrea played a huge part in making the event so special and full of empowering energy!"
"It was an absolute joy and privilege to spend last Saturday with Andrea. I cannot thank her enough for being present and leaning into everything that the day brought. I set out to create the space for visibility, a place for every woman to feel seen. A space where women can build community with each other and create connections that help each other achieve personal and professional success. What happened on Saturday was beyond my expectation and I honestly cannot wait to repeat it all over with Andrea and many more women in June."
"Andrea was an absolute joy it was to work with. I loved helping her to write her story and her enthusiasm and willingness to try stuff out was a gift for me. Hearing the audience laugh at her monologue and seeing how beautifully she performed it gave me goosebumps. She’s brilliant."
"Andrea was incredible – this is the second time she has hosted this awards ceremony for us and we were delighted to have her back!"
"Andrea did a great job for us and really connected with our audience. Everyone appreciated that she stayed and spoke individually to the nominees and winners for so long afterwards, she made everyone feel special."
"Working with Andrea has been a total joy from the beginning. The passion that she has for helping and inspiring people is incredible. Between us we curated a series of events which were interactive, thought provoking, inspiring and inclusive which is exactly what we aim to do with our events at WeWork. Our members loved every session and were engaged from start to finish."
"Wow! What an absolutely brilliant morning! So proud to have been part of putting this together, but the credit must go to all of our Legacy Club members and guests for turning out, AllBright Members Club for the beautiful venue and service, and last but by no means least the outstanding, honest and very talented host Andrea McLean."
