Alan Ortiz testimonial picture

Alan Ortiz – MBA, PMP
Alan skillfully engages others in exploring multiple, practical perspectives to broaden the awareness leading to the transformation of self and one’s environment. He then supports the integration and structuring of personal and business systems – the processes, people, and technology – and guides clients from ideas to implementation.

His coaching is informed by his 20 years of project experiences in process improvement and product development in organizations that range across HR, IT/electronics, automotive, finance, marketing, manufacturing, and healthcare, some of them international. A PMP-certified project manager, he has developed and delivered courses in project management that provide increased emphasis on leadership awareness, systems-understanding, and communication.

Alan also draws from his knowledge of mind-body integration – therapeutic bodywork and meditation – to point to ways that balance the stress of individual change. Through supporting the conscious awareness of the inner experience, he helps clients connect outer change with inner shifts and meaningful values. He has recently begun designing and leading awareness and balance workshops for healthcare organizations to improve work-life quality.

Alan’s clients have ranged from artists to engineers, project managers to regional consulting managers, and business analysts to next-in-line business leaders and entrepreneurs.
