Dr Andy Sockanathan

Helping creative leaders change career and turn work back into play.

About Andy

Remember when work was fun?

When deadlines were thrilling, not existential?
When the biggest drama was in the edit, not the boardroom?
When fun wasn’t something HR had to organise?
 
You didn’t lose your creativity. It just got buried under meetings and layers of sign-off.
It’s still there. We just need to dig it out.

Fun isn’t the bonus. It’s the point.

The spark that pulled you into this industry hasn’t disappeared. It has evolved.
In your twenties the thrill came from pace.
Now it comes from doing the right work at the right rhythm.
 
That is what we will design together.

How I Work

 I use creative coaching and design thinking to help people change careers the way they would develop a new format.
 
Small experiments. Clear steps. Real momentum.
 
No therapy talk. No clichés. Just practical ways to bring back energy, purpose and play.
