TESTIMONIALS

“I have worked with Alan on a number of occasions and always find his counsel and guidance to be first class. Alan is able to see a problem in a variety of different ways by bringing a wealth of experience which enables him to help me contextualise the right solution. I have particularly benefitted from his coaching around construction of strategy and then visioning what the change will mean for my teams, customers and business”.

“I met Alan when I was a delegate on a Financial Awareness programme. Alan is an excellent and very experienced trainer. You can see that in the first 10 minutes by how he makes feel people at ease and relaxed. By the end of the course you will also know that he can “walk the walk”. He will guide you through the complexities and intricacies of finance with a well paced balance of “action” and theory making it all more meaningful and relevant. Recommended!”

“I was fortunate that I was able to work with Alan early on in my leadership journey. Alan and I began working together a couple of years after I became a new manager and had completed several leadership and development programmes. Alan navigated me through the results of my feedback, focusing on areas of achievement that I had independently failed to recognise and improvement opportunities that would have marked impact on my leadership presence. He always provided me with great insight, personal examples of how to implement changes, and kept me committed by regularly tracking progress. As a result of our time together, I have seen exceptional performance results and greater job satisfaction in my team members and a greater self-confidence in my own ability to lead a high performing team.”

– Lorraine Calland Managing Director Conscious Leadership Centre

‘I have had the privilege to work with Alan for over 20 years and very much regard him as my ‘best boss’. A great listener and coach, I went to Alan on numerous occasions with my ‘difficult situations’ and always left with the ideas and confidence to tackle them effectively. Alan consistently found time for his own development and he in turn supported and encouraged his teams to do the same. Alan innovated many development opportunities including an exceptional Leadership Programme which allowed me to understand and get to know my team better than ever before. This insight through no coincidence resulted in my own team delivering results which were to receive National recognition within my company. Alan has been ‘the’ great influence on my career and this is because he allowed me to see things I was unaware of and encouraged me to do things which for me didn’t seem possible”
– Phil Law Area Manager Financial Services

He asks insightful and challenging questions which, combined with his extensive business knowledge, has helped me to stand back and consider what is important in any given situation, whether that is in reviewing my business plan or handling a complex business relationship issue. Alan has always helped me to find a way forward and I value the support that he has given to me and my business.”
