“I had the privilege of working with Alan as a peer and then as a member of his team. Alan was a leader, manager, and coach that kept us a cohesive and motivated team. Not a simple task when that team spans Canada and the US and our constantly shifting engagement schedules. He is the best example of someone who truly lives and breathes the five level of trust (shared values, integrity, concern for others, and competency) that I have had the opportunity of working for. If I was going to point to aspects of my professional career development that was most influenced by Alan’s coaching and mentoring – I would say it was learning the art of truly ‘listening’ and ‘facilitating’ engagements. I, like many others in IT, was focused on the ‘right’ answer and not listening for the information that would allow for the ‘correct’ answer. Once I started down the path of listening, what were once problematic engagements became much more manageable and successful. More than that, it was always a pleasure to work for Alan, you knew you could trust him with the facts and that he always had your back.” - David J.

"Alan had me working on new skills based on needs and trends in technologies that were most in demand. This was something that I now continue to do on my own today. Things ran more smoothly with Alan's support. He enabled and built major levels of trust and was able to align people and their efforts to exactly meet what was needed." - Mark E.

"Alan is able to pull out the actual needs and get rid of the other stuff.  This was my biggest benefit in working with Alan. He is good at growing the career of someone and getting them unstuck from a rut. He looked for opportunities to help me get things done with an edge. In a 30 year career, Alan is one professional coach that I look up to and would work with again and again" -  Todd W.

“Working with Alan was essential for my professional growth. He is particularly adept at helping others identify and distill issues in their careers that prevent individuals and teams from reaching a goal, regardless of the distance your may be from that goal. He helps you focus on the importance of establishing and maintaining great working relationships while also helping you recognize and exercise the appropriate amount of individual professional creativity. Under Alan’s coaching, I learned to more effectively balance the needs of my clients and my family and provide superior service at the same time; he has reminded me to humanize the personal and professional needs of others in my working circle so I can be a more effective leader. Alan regularly helped me identify and chart the inflection points which are most important to building strong professional relationships, especially in situations where that relationship may be strained in some regard. If you are facing a professional wall or a goal that may seem out of reach or maybe you have reached your goal and are looking to polish your delivery, Alan will help you identify what may be holding you back, how to organize a working plan to help you reach your goal, which in turn help you and you or your team deliver consistent results and build lucrative long term relationships with your external and internal clients.” - Alex T.
