Executive Coaching

“Alan helped me to set clear direction and develop solutions to get the best out myself and my team.  

His coaching style has helped me to see things from different perspectives and then focus, and his global experience at a senior level has helped with some practical solutions that I have successfully put into action. 

He has given me time and space to think but also motivated me to act.”

Ruth Shaw 

-General Manager - The Premier League Charitable Fund

"I recently took on a role that presented me with entirely new challenges, regional head within an international operation running a line of business within a matrix structure and reliant on resources outside of my direct reporting control to achieve our goals. Alan’s coaching helped me to work through problem scenarios and formulate plans to address them, and influence business decisions beneficial to us. 

He has given me greater self-awareness and understanding of the impact of my behaviours on others. His practical experience, having "been there and done it", has been immensely useful. Alan has helped me improve my thinking, self-awareness and above all leadership for my and my company’s benefit".

VP and General Manager European Business Operations - Smarsh

"The coaching experience with Alan was incredibly insightful and rewarding in terms of my personal growth. 

It helped me to look at issues affecting my role from a number of perspectives which, in turn, meant I could understand what I needed to do myself to develop in my role and address the challenges as I saw them. 

I am very grateful for the changes that Alan helped me to make in what was actually a relatively short time"

Ropinder Gill 

CEO - Lymphoma Action 

“Since I started having coaching sessions with Alan 9 months ago, he has helped me to formulate my professional goals and identify ways of achieving them.  

I’ve now accomplished some of them and feel that my career has really taken off this year.  This is due in no small part to Alan’s incisive and very effective coaching style.  

A coaching session with Alan is like taking your brain for a gym workout!  Expect to work hard and end up in great shape to take your career to the next level. I cannot recommend him too highly.”
