testimonials

"Working with Alan really helped me to see things differently and to come up with new ideas that were previously outside of my scope of thinking. He has a very friendly and direct style of coaching that really resonates with me, and is a highly trustworthy and dependable coach"

"Alan was instrumental in restoring my confidence - Through asking the right thought-provoking questions, he enabled me to unlock solutions and adopt an alternative viewpoint. From my first session, I felt motivated to take action. Alan genuinely cares about his clients and this shows in his authentic coaching style"

" When I worked for Alan, if I’m truly honest with myself, I came into the relationship with a bit of a chip on my shoulder. In my head I thought I was the best analyst, therefore the best leader, and was starting to get bitter that others didn’t see that the same way. This was my third sideways move trying to get promoted, and as I’d worked cross-functionally with Alan before, I was probably thinking, “he get’s it, I’ll get promoted if I go and work for him”, but I got so much more!  

Alan certainly allowed me to think about how to do things better and allowed me to explore my natural strengths, but slowly and surely, he started to turn me into a rounded individual by addressing the things holding me back. Instead of ‘telling me’, something I would have railed against, his approach was to coach me, ask me questions like “why do you want to get promoted”, “why do you think you haven’t got there yet”, “how would you feel if someone said that to you”, “does everyone see things like that”? 

Alan started me on the journey of understanding other people, knowing how to relate to them, knowing how to help them achieve their goals. It made me so much more effective and set me on a path to success that had previously eluded me. I now count leadership as one of my key skills and something that other people value in me, all of which started with Alan’s patience, his empathy, and his ability to ask a question in just the right way to get you to listen, really think about it, and somehow over time, start to ask yourself those questions on your own.  

I cannot recommend Alan highly enough, I am not just a better leader/employee from my experience with him, I am a better person. "

" Alan is a great listener and uses his experience and skill to pick out the key things I say to highlight the key details of my thoughts. I always leave our sessions with actionable goals that I feel supported in going out to achieve them. Always friendly, honest and thoughtful in shaping my thinking to be the best version of myself "

"Alan was an exceptional personal coach who was not only inspirational but also compassionate and supportive. Throughout my coaching sessions with him, he was instrumental in my personal and professional development, offering insights and advice to help me achieve my goals. His ability to listen actively and ask thought-provoking questions helped me to develop a deeper understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, and learn life skills that still come in handy today. I am grateful for his coaching and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal coach who truly cares about their growth and success."

"Alan's coaching style is supportive, authentic and motivating. He helped me unlock an increased level of self-awareness and consistently encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone.  Alan supported me understanding the benefit of reflection. We used our sessions to explore how I could put learnings into action.  What sets Alan apart was his genuine passion for helping others succeed. He was truly invested in my development, and I would recommend Alan to anyone seeking coaching to help either personal and professional growth"

"From our very first session, Alan's calm and grounded manner created an immediate sense of trust. His ability to hold space, allowing silence and reflection without rushing or pushing me in incredibly empowering. This approach enabled me to dig deep within myself, fostering reflection in a safe and supportive environment. With Alan I feel like I'm in a safe space where I'm seen, heard and validated. His compassion and patience in each session is a testament to his commitment to his clients. This sense of safety has made it possible for me to navigate difficult conversations without fear or judgement. Alan is the coach I keep coming back to because each session with him is a step forward in my personal journey"

"Alan is a great mentor and coach, who leads with passion, integrity and humility. He has a good eye for spotting talent and strengths in people, and coaching them to achieve their full potential. He encouraged me to achieve my goals and ambitions both in work and in my personal life, and is a great listener. He challenged me to think differently and supported me every step of the way, which built my confidence and pushed my development further than it had ever gone before.  Alan is also empathetic and caring; during our time working together I went through some personal issues and he supported me throughout. I can honestly say that my time in Alan’s division was the most enjoyable in my career!"

"I've been fortunate to work with Alan on two separate occasions, both times he shaped a plan in order to help me to achieve my career goals. His approach was supportive, well-structured and he could adapt his guidance to help me maximise my potential. It was a very pleasurable experience and it was helped by Alan sharing some of his own personal experiences. Highly recommended"
