Private Microsoft 365 Development Coaching

Working with Andrew was a great experience. He brought an encyclopedic knowledge to every topic we covered, and it never felt scripted or recycled. He didn’t rely on slides or reuse material from past articles. Every session felt like a real conversation, almost like storytime with an expert. Andrew is a true sage in the Microsoft world. His insight comes straight from the source, making his perspective invaluable. My team and I walked away from each session with a clearer understanding and many practical takeaways. Another standout is his organization. Every session was recorded, every reference shared, and his notes were always detailed. You don’t just get the live discussion; you leave with a full library of materials to revisit later. I would highly recommend Andrew to any organization looking to get an edge on complex or nuanced topics in the Microsoft space. He seems to know them all, and he is incredibly easy to talk to.

I certainly recommend Andrew’s services to any professional or company living in the Microsoft 365 universe. My team had a great experience with Andrew through his Private Coaching offering, and we gained multiple key insights at just the right time. Andrew’s qualifications and experience are impressive and of high value. And he’s a nice guy, too…

As a generalist focused on our company’s digital transformation, my goal was to acquire essential IT expertise quickly, and Andrew Connell’s coaching proved invaluable. His deep expertise in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, security, and data sovereignty provided the foundational clarity I needed. Andrew defined our strategic philosophy, balancing Microsoft’s stability and security with the required flexibility and adaptability needed for emerging technologies. He successfully brought me up to speed on advanced concepts such as Copilot extensibility, the Semantic Index, and the role of Declarative Agents, which are crucial for custom solutions as we grow. His guidance was instrumental in shaping our long-term technical vision and clarifying the roadmap for our crucial first IT hires. Andrew’s coaching is a critical asset for building. He tells it like he sees it with genuine warmth and humor. I greatly appreciate the integrity he demonstrated when setting clear boundaries on areas outside his specific expertise. I recommend Andrew for those who focus specifically on the Dev world, as well as those, like me, searching for a guiding light through the technology challenges we are facing today.

Our organization has leveraged Andrew's knowledge and services as a 1:1 coach for our application development team. His insight and advice have been invaluable. When it comes to the M365 development stack and tools, you will quickly learn there are a lot of gaps in the official documentation. We tried working with Microsoft to get clarity and answers but were unsuccessful. Andrew fills a much needed gap, both from an information and service standpoint, as well as liaisoning with Microsoft on behalf of developers who are using the M365 stack.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Andrew again after all these years.  The team at ContactMonkey was new to the world of SharePoint, and Andrew was able to jump in and help everyone get up to speed. He was also able to tap into his network within Microsoft to help us navigate issues with Entra and get us better connected to the team responsible for the end of life of EWS. If you’re looking to get skilled up by a true grand master who can help you with both the tech and navigating the complexities of the Microsoft ecosystem, look no further than the great AC.
