Member Bio
I help transform hesitant, uncertain managers into skilled, effective, Confident Managers and leaders.
My training and coaching are based on over 30 years in advertising and the rollercoaster ride that involves.
I feel my delegates’ pain and understand the pressures, challenges and deadlines they are dealing with daily.
Because I’ve experienced it too.
I also know how to deal with and manage that pain.
My IPA Gold and Platinum Award winning training and coaching helps managers at all levels learn from and, better still, avoid the mistakes I made and learned from.
I’ll let my delegates explain:
“I think your training has been brilliant, very different to other training where I feel like I just have acronyms regurgitated at me. I’d really recommend it!” Nicola Sutherland, Account Director, Modern B2B, Bristol
“The Confident Manager course taught me so much that I can use as I step into a more managerial role. I now have the skills to confidently lead and manage the team around me, as well as myself, my time and workload” Ella Townsend, Senior Email Marketing Manager, Get Better Ltd, Barnstaple
“I can absolutely say without a shadow of a doubt that The Confident Presenter is a brilliant course. I highly recommend it to anyone. If you’re really nervous about presenting and public speaking, do this course and I promise you it will help you.” Tabitha Osbourne-Fox, Foxsea Art, Devon
“Alan is a hugely compassionate man, who approaches each coaching session with kindness and a genuine desire to help both the individual and the organisation. His work with our team has had a huge impact on their happiness. “We don’t measure the effectiveness of Alan’s work on productivity, because we genuinely want our team to just be the happiest and best versions of themselves that they can be. We know this isn’t everyone’s bag, and some people need/want a more tangible result. But frankly, whatever your goal is, Alan’s your man.” Alison Weir, Founder, Wonderland Communications
