Transform Your Life: Andrea C. McLean and ACM Coaching Group LLC Announce New Book 'Decide to Be Your Future Self' for Personal Growth

Andrea C. McLean's new book, Decide to Be Your Future Self, offers readers practical tools for personal transformation, making growth accessible and empowering.


Decide to Be Your Future Self
by Andrea C. McLean: A Journey of Transformation

In a world where individuals often feel limited by personal and professional challenges, Andrea C. McLean’s latest book, Decide to Be Your Future Self, stands out as a powerful tool for transformation. As a board-certified life, career, and executive coach, McLean draws from over 30 years of executive leadership experience and her commitment to empowering women from diverse backgrounds to unlock their full potential. This book, which recently won the 2024 Storytrade Award in the Motivational/Self-Help category, is designed to inspire readers to take control of their destiny by embracing the future they envision for themselves.

The Story Behind Decide to Be Your Future Self

Andrea McLean’s career spans decades of executive leadership, having worked for nearly 18 years with the Estee Lauder Companies, Inc., where she played a key role in global compliance and led initiatives focused on women’s leadership. In her coaching practice today, she continues to advocate for the advancement of women in professional and personal spaces, helping them tear down self-limiting beliefs to achieve their best, authentic selves.

Her latest book was inspired by her experiences coaching diverse women—many of whom struggled to build confidence and integrate into corporate spaces. McLean saw firsthand how cultural and personal barriers could inhibit their progress, prompting her to develop a proven method for guiding individuals toward self-empowerment and success.

The S.O.A.R. Method™: A Proven Strategy for Personal Transformation

At the heart of McLean’s coaching practice and her book is The S.O.A.R. Method™. This four-step approach provides readers with actionable steps to transform their mindset and overcome the challenges standing in the way of their goals. The method is structured to be easy to follow yet powerful enough to create lasting change.

  • Shift Your Mindset: McLean encourages readers to first change how they see themselves. Limiting beliefs and negative self-perceptions must be challenged to make way for growth.
  • Overcome Challenges: Whether external barriers or internal fears, McLean shows readers how to confront and break through obstacles with confidence.
  • Activate Your Plan: She emphasizes the importance of creating a clear, actionable plan for personal growth, one that aligns with the individual's core values and aspirations.
  • Reflect and Refine: Growth is not static, and McLean stresses the need to consistently reflect on progress, make adjustments, and celebrate milestones along the way.

McLean describes her method as an accessible blueprint for change, providing the guidance and motivation necessary to turn aspirations into achievable goals.

More Than a Book: A Resource for Lasting Change

Decide to Be Your Future Self is designed to resonate with individuals from all walks of life. Its core message is that envisioning and deciding who you want to become is not a mere daydream, but a necessary step in the journey toward personal growth.

"Envisioning and deciding who you want to be is not merely a daydreaming exercise, but a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation," McLean explains. “Only you have the power to design your destiny and create the future life you envision.”

Unlike other self-help books that may feel overwhelming, McLean’s approachable writing style and practical advice make the process of personal transformation exciting and attainable. Readers will be empowered to take those first steps toward building the life they want, supported by real-life examples and McLean’s empathetic coaching tone.

Empowering Women to Unlock Their Potential

While Decide to Be Your Future Self speaks to a broad audience, it is particularly relevant to women from diverse and immigrant backgrounds—demographics McLean has focused on throughout her coaching career. McLean understands the unique struggles these women face, both in their personal lives and within the corporate world, and she offers tailored advice to help them break through these barriers.

As a mentor at Rider University’s Gail Bierenbaum Leadership Council and Women Unlimited Inc., McLean has seen the direct impact of her coaching on young women’s lives. Her book provides the same tools she uses with her coaching clients, giving readers access to the strategies and mindset shifts that have empowered countless women to reach new heights in their careers and personal lives.

A Book to Inspire Immediate Action

Though brief in length, Decide to Be Your Future Self packs a powerful punch. Its message is clear: the only person who can create your future is you. McLean’s empowering words, combined with her extensive experience as a coach, make this book an essential read for anyone looking to take control of their life and begin their journey toward success.

Whether you are looking to make a career shift, overcome personal obstacles, or simply become more confident in your daily life, McLean’s book is designed to be your go-to resource. Its accessible, actionable strategies will inspire readers to reflect on their current situation, embrace their future selves, and take the steps necessary to turn their dreams into reality.
