40 Years of Science.

Emotional Intelligence.
For Entrepreneurs.

I'm Audrey Schnell, Ph.D., a Success Coach with a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a Ph.D. in Epidemiology. I work with entrepreneurs on the gap between what they say and what their clients hear: getting the right clients to say yes, and keeping them long enough to get results.

The True Psychology of
Sustainable Change.

I didn't plan a career in emotional intelligence coaching. I followed the doors that opened, and for over four decades, every door led deeper into the same question: why do capable, intelligent people keep losing clients they should have kept?

I hold an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. My background isn't just academic, it's applied. Forty years of studying human behavior across psychology, research, and health and wellness means I've seen every pattern, every blind spot, and every way a smart person subconsciously sabotages themselves.

What I've found, consistently, is that the problem is never a lack of intelligence, ambition, or drive. It's the emotional operating system running below all of it, the one installed before you had any say in the matter.

I See What
You Can't.

I help entrepreneurs develop emotional intelligence for the conversations that bring clients in and keep them working with you. We look at what happens when a prospect stops replying, a client says no, or a conversation catches you off guard, and work on how you respond.

My work draws on four decades of psychology research, but it doesn't feel like therapy. It feels like finally having someone show you the thing everyone else can see but you couldn't, and then working with you to change it.

I've been a featured speaker at retreats and a guest on dozens of industry podcasts, and I live off the grid on 117 acres in rural West Virginia with my husband and our dogs. I bring that same groundedness to every client I work with.
