The story behind Next Level Us


After more than three decades leading teams, supporting customers, and helping organizations navigate change, Andrew Krieman came to a simple conclusion:

Strategy matters. And people make strategy happen.

Throughout his career in healthcare technology leadership, Andrew saw organizations invest significant time and energy in plans, processes, and technology. The organizations that consistently performed at a higher level weren’t necessarily the ones with the best strategy. They were the ones with leaders who built trust, teams that worked together, and cultures where people felt valued, connected, and accountable.

That’s what inspired Next Level Us.

Andrew founded Next Level Us to help organizations develop stronger leaders, build more positive cultures, and create environments where people want to perform and excel. The goal isn’t simply to help organizations do more. It’s to help people become the best versions of themselves so teams, leaders, and organizations can thrive together.

Positivity isn't pretending everything is good.

It's choosing the mindset, energy, and perspective that help us address what's difficult with courage and purpose.

Positive leadership creates the conditions for honest conversations, stronger accountability, better decisions, and healthier teams. It doesn't ignore challenges. It helps people face them together.

Andrew’s Approach

Experience without ego

Real leadership lessons gained through more than 30 years of leading people, teams, and operations, shared in a practical, relatable way that creates space for conversation, reflection, and growth.

Tools people use


Practical frameworks, shared language, and actionable ideas people can apply immediately and continue using long after the session ends.


People make the difference

The strongest cultures don't happen by accident. They grow when leaders intentionally create connection, purpose, trust, accountability, and ownership throughout the organization.
