About

Adrienne Shoch

I believe that transformation begins from within, understanding how the brain and body influence behavior and decision making. My development philosophy blends positive leadership, neuroscience, communication and somatics (body) based practices with traditional leadership and business development principles. 

In addition to coaching and consulting, I launched and led Thales University North America for Thales Group, managed HR functions across Europe as an expatriate in The Netherlands for CGI (formerly AMS), led consulting engagements for the World Bank, and guest lectured at Salisbury University School of Communication Arts. 

I have more than 25 years of experience as an executive coach and organizational development (OD) leader. I am also a certified yoga instructor and have worked with elite athletes as a sports massage therapist. 

My homebase is in Asheville, NC where I live with my beagle Yoshi.

I’ve been working with individuals, teams, and organizations for 40 years. No matter what the goal of the work is: coaching, strategy, organization development, change management, etc. the importance of communication and trust quickly become the cornerstones for success. I am very excited incorporating Airtime into this important work. I’m dedicated to focusing on the fundamentals of trust and communication to better serve those we work with. I live in Ellicott City, MD with my husband and business partner Andre Kotze, along with our pup Aiko.

Andre Kotze

I have always been interested in decision making. I am most curious about how groups think through to a decision. In my experience, tough, complex, multidisciplinary problems are uniquely intended for teams to solve. I have generally learned that no one person has the answer, we may have more questions than answers, answers are built between thinkers, and we have to integrate multiple perspectives into our thinking. Not every team I have been on does well at these. I understand quality conversation might not guarantee a good outcome, but it does dramatically increase the odds of one. I want to help every team get 100% better at thinking together.

I am passionate about creating safe and transformative educational experiences. During my 20+ years as a wilderness instructor, educator, and program manager, I have had the privilege of working at all levels with a wide variety of outdoor and experiential education programs. I’m excited to share that experience with you in an effort to strengthen your program and your team.

I’ve enjoyed a career built on the bedrock of communicating in service of making connections. I use words to inquire and uncover obstacles, discover and redefine visions, to engage and inspire action, to share information and teach concepts and to shape the work of organizations. The more I learn about the art and science of communicating, the more I know how much I have yet to learn. I am a firm believer in the notion that the quality of life is enhanced by the quality of communication. I travel life’s adventure with my husband and 10 year old son; we’ve enjoyed putting roots down in New Market, MD, 1 hour outside of Washington, DC.
