Strengthening individual and organizational effectiveness.
Who are you Being?
Coaching develops competencies for current and future roles, fostering success for the individual and the organization. What roles do you want to strengthen? High-potentials, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers, business analysts, HR professionals, and project managers…
Experience in those roles allows a depth of understanding and communication that goes far deeper than knowing what’s in a job description.
We bring a presence and an ability to listen at a deeper level – one that shows appreciation for the individual beyond simply gathering metrics and data. One that embodies empathy, collaboration, patience and kindness while also challenging the individual to consider and attempt new ways of being, thinking and acting.

Testimonials
My expectations were to help strengthen known managerial weaknesses and to possibly uncover others. I was also looking for ways to assess my direct reports so that I can then help them improve their weaknesses. I got exactly what I expected. Alan’s coaching has been very reassuring to me, in that I have the skills needed for my current position and possibly my next position. It has enabled me to relax when uncomfortable situations arise both at work and home.
Emmett Herranen,
Regional Consulting Manager
Your coaching has been effortless and very effective in all areas of my life. It has enabled me to calm myself rather than constantly spin, and has also given me the talent to watch myself as a spectator to see what it is that I am really doing or not doing in life. The coaching becomes kind of an auto-immune response to destructive and parasitic behaviors that prevent you from being personally successful and at one with yourself.
No, it wasn’t what I expected. It was better from the perspective that I was coached through aspects of my behavior that will have an effect on areas of my life other than work. It also was a much calmer process than I thought it would be. Most coaches are there to motivate you into a frenzy, and this was just the opposite.
You are great at deduction and getting people to self-diagnose. You also have amazing poise and concentration, and a very calming nature, which makes the calls much more pleasant and less threatening.
Glen Tibaldeo,
Consulting Project Manager and Entrepreneur
Alan’s coaching has been nurturing and has enabled me to gain confidence. Coaching helped me to identify my goals clearly and to take steps in implementing my goals. Working through my blocks and resistance to focus and discipline were very important moments because it helped me claim with more conviction what I was doing.
I had to constantly create a truth that propelled me forward. There was a sense that the right brain creative process and the left brain organizing process needed to be balanced and Alan’s coaching helped me face this reality. Furthermore having someone to share my
accomplishments with as I reached goals worked very well.

Coaching went far deeper and was more meaningful than I expected. I found that the exercise renewed my faith and confidence. I would explain that coaching is a process in which you determine questions and explore answers, which can be at times scary. It is a process that involves a lot of hard work and great breakthroughs if it’s done correctly. I have enjoyed the coaching experience more than I thought I would. It led me to ask more questions, tough questions, about who I am and what’s truly important to me.
Deanna Dewey,
Business Analyst
I hired Alan to advise and consult on an international multimillion dollar project and found a great mentor and coach. He guided me through challenging project milestones by clarifying both technical and interpersonal issues, developing more efficient methods for managing and presenting information, recognizing when decision-making escalation was required, and formulating well thought-out options with pros and cons to aid the decision maker.
Alan brings a long history and varied background in project management and information technology. I appreciate the way he coaches through the use of discovery questions and analysis, and how he has supported my project management and leadership skills. I have benefited from Alan’s expertise and experience, would definitely hire Alan again, and would recommend him without hesitation.
