Alex Bednar
Executive Coach
As a certified Professional Integral Coach, Alex partners with leaders and teams to navigate change, optimize performance, and build resilient organizational cultures. Drawing from 15 years in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) leadership, Alex brings a rare combination of high-stakes leadership experience and transformative coaching expertise to his executive coaching.
Â
Alex brings unparalleled insight into decision-making under pressure, team dynamics, and organizational effectiveness. His approach is both strategic and deeply human—identifying patterns that limit performance while developing practical pathways for sustainable growth. Alex brings specialized expertise in guiding organizations through transitions with minimal disruption, cultivating adaptive, emotionally intelligent leadership teams while building team cohesions, and developing resilience and clarity during challenging situations.
Alex’s roles in Critical Care Transport and in Helicopter EMS (HEMS) leadership extended to quality control implementation, system-wide improvement initiatives, instructor development, and process improvement – experience that translates directly to helping corporate leaders create high-functioning teams and organizational cultures.
Alex leverages his in-depth knowledge of the Enneagram and tools such as the Emotional Behaviors at Work assessments with his clients, who consistently report enhanced leadership presence, improved decision-making capabilities, more effective team communication, and measurable improvements in both personal effectiveness and organizational outcomes. His unique methodology helps leaders integrate technical expertise with emotional intelligence for breakthrough performance.
When not with clients, Alex and his wife, Tiffany, spend their time with their 3 daughters, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and pot-bellied pig on a ranch in North Texas. The couple graciously opens their home to a homeschool cooperative that the pair launched in 2021, allowing over 20 children to participate daily in somatic regulation learning, wilderness adventure, art, reading, and homesteading techniques.
Teddi Clayton
Director of Operations & Program Manager
Meet Teddi Clayton, a dynamic operations leader who's navigated everything from retail management and financial services sales to wedding planning and photography. With an eye for detail that would make Marie Kondo jealous, she brings both organizational wizardry and marketing smarts to every leadership role she tackles.
Â
Â
After a 13-year "executive position" raising two boys (arguably her most challenging management role yet), Teddi jumped back into the professional arena, making her mark in operational management for the financial services industry and program management at Andreabednar.com. At andreabednar.com, she's found her sweet spot—blending all those varied skills from her past lives into a role where she helps coordinate transformational leadership programs that genuinely change lives. Her passion for leadership development shines through as she supports programs that turn good managers into great leaders. Her knack for creating order from chaos has become her professional superpower.
When she's not optimizing business operations, Teddi channels her leadership energy into community involvement, including keeping youth athletics running smoothly and contributing to local schools. These volunteer gigs have only sharpened her already impressive ability to herd cats—er, manage people and resources effectively.
Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Marketing, Teddi approaches challenges with both strategic thinking and practical know-how.
Based in Celina, Texas, Teddi juggles professional life with family time alongside her husband of nearly 19 years and their two soccer-loving sons. Weekends find her cheering from the sidelines at soccer matches, while three energetic dogs ensure she never forgets the value of work-life balance—or a good lint roller.
