Andy Payne

Inspirational Human Resources Professional - Serious Dream Coach

A Word from Walt

Sometime back in 2013, I received an email from Andy Payne. He had been using the Castle Process for years and was sad to learn that it was out of print. Andy was enthusiastic about the effect of the Castle on his own life and on the lives of the people he worked with. He asked if I was going to launch it again. Andy was one of the first to nudge me (and continue nudging me) to create the 45th Anniversary Edition of the Castle.

I'm an Executive-level leader with proven expertise in piloting enterprise learning management strategies, corporate training enablement initiatives, and workforce development courses. I partner with executive leadership teams to cultivate growth strategies and institute enterprise-wide programs advancing workforce value. I lead and inspire cross-functional teams to drive high performance, design and develop innovative employee engagement solutions, and deliver business solutions optimizing team knowledge and productivity.
