Let’s get going!
Give me a topic or let’s discuss what I’ve already delivered. I’ll engage with the audience emotions whether that’s a handful or roomful of people, in-person or online, single delivery or serialised over multiple days.
Unsure what your goals are? Where the gaps are in your life? How to do what you do better? You have the answers and my role as your coach is to help you find your true north, map the course and get moving!
Trust, psychological safety, effective communications, finding a common goal – these all supercharge team performance. Let’s map the valleys and the peaks and navigate a course to maximise performance and team harmony.
Building on a highly successful three decades in enterprise sales I am furthering my passion to help people and organisations be the best they can be. Using skills developed along the way with a relentless thirst to learn more I am developing my public speaking, coaching and work with high performance teams. I believe life itself is an adventure and the twists and turns we experience are what makes it interesting and rewarding.
My Christian faith inevitably underpins my core values and principles. But I won’t push it at you. It’s hard to deny Jesus’ leadership skills when even 2,000 years later millions are still following him. He’s a pretty good role model!
You won’t find charges on this site – my primary goal is to leave a legacy so let’s talk purpose before we talk pounds.

.. a compelling and interesting presenter and speaker.. unique ability to quickly connect with a diverse audience, drawing them into his journey or story, and then walking alongside them to a shared experience, outcome or lesson.. consistently a ‘top speaker’ based on audience ratings. Alan is a pleasure to work with and to listen to.

Alan has been a speaker at a number of business networking and training events that I have hosted. He is well researched and prepares meticulously for each session. His communication style is engaging and entertaining, his sense of and love for adventure always comes through his presentations. Always very popular with the audience.

.. encouraging and uplifting.. natural gifts as a leader, motivator, speaker and guide. I feel much more confident, self-assured and supported..I would not be in the very positive place that I am today without Alan’s meaningful, relevant and sensitive input at strategic stages. I thoroughly recommend Alan’s expert input as a catalyst towards living a more rich, rewarding, faithful and fruitful life!

“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.” Words that bring a warm reassuring feeling to a physicist like me (and conversely, probably puts some of you in a cold sweat). You may remember how this fundamental law of ph…
I’ve flown from the UK to North America more times than I can count. Looking out of the aircraft window I’ve always been fascinated by the vast uninhabited wilderness areas. From around 36,000ft I would look down and dream about how things would appear at ground level. Rammed-in to economy class, I …
