Your Guide
Andrew A. Porteous
Trainer, coach, and practicing alchemist focused on practical personal transformation — purpose, aligned action, and alchemy. Andrew left banking in New Zealand to attend Embassy University in Texas at the age of 24. He later became financially independent and has spent more than 35 years following his own path through financial understanding, self-development and spiritual awareness. Today he lives in Germany with his wife of more than 30 years, continuing to teach simple systems that reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through.
Level Tin Passed
You are now here
All I know is that I am in pain. I am frustrated that I never get ahead, no matter what I do. I am in debt over my head, and things just seem to always get worse. I have tried saving but used the money for an "emergency". I am too proud to ask for help, but really don't know where to turn. No one reading this, is at this level, because you are here at Alchemists Well. That means you are at least at level 2. Tin is a state. There are no modules or learning criteria because as soon as you realise the definition fits you, and you are here, at Alchemist Well, paying member or not, you are aware there is more to learn.
Testimonials
"Andrew is one ball of fire! The time we facilitated a team training together will be fondly remembered. His character is engaging, curious, fast-paced and filled with care and empathy for the people he works with. I have no doubt that Andrew will continue touching people, teams and organisations wherever he turns up."
"Andrew is one of the greatest presenters you will meet. Like some presenters, Andrew really knows what he's talking about. However, it is Andrew's highly professional, yet unique presenting style, which sets him apart. Of vital importance is that throughout his presenting, teaching etc., he keeps his audience interested and engaged — Never underestimate the importance of this. Andrew loves his work and his energy is infectious.
Above all, Andrew's repeat business comes from his results, which speak for themselves.
Although I technically reported to Andrew, he always had the professionalism and humility to treat myself (and everyone else he worked with) as equals.
Finally, regarding Andrew's business interests, his creative mind seems to work on overdrive. This, along with his respect for others opinions/input, has greatly helped Andrew succeed in areas where so many others would give up."
