Featuring Andrea (Andi) Sims, ACC ,

This Monday, we’re sitting down with an incredible leadership expert, executive coach, speaker, facilitator, and trainer who is changing the way leaders communicate—Andrea (Andi) Sims, ACC, founder of The REAL Question Method™.

Host Arica Netterville

Andrea’s philosophy is simple but powerful:

“Better Questions. Better Leaders.”

From executive leadership and entrepreneurship to communication, coaching, and organizational growth, Andrea believes the questions we ask can completely change the conversations we have—and ultimately, the results we create.

In this episode, we’re going beyond the typical leadership conversation. We’re talking about:

🔹 Why great leaders ask better questions

🔹 The REAL Question Method™ and how it works

🔹 The connection between questions and better communication

🔹 What holds talented leaders back

🔹 How entrepreneurs can use better questions to grow their businesses

🔹 What makes someone truly influential—not just someone with a title

🔹 The power of coaching and transformational conversations

🔹 Andrea’s experience with the National Speakers Association Colorado chapter

🔹 And the question every entrepreneur and leader should be asking themselves right now!

Andrea brings years of experience as an executive coach, leadership facilitator, trainer, and professional speaker, and she’s here to challenge us to stop simply looking for answers—and start asking better questions.

But there’s so much more to her story.

She’s also a cycle-breaking mom, a passionate advocate for personal growth, and someone who understands that success isn’t just about building a business — it’s about building people, relationships, confidence, and a life that actually means something.

And, of course, I’m going to put Anne on the spot with one of my favorite questions:

What is something about the Denver business community that we need to STOP doing — and what should we START doing instead?

I have a feeling that answer is going to be GOOD. 👀
