What Our Clients
Are Saying
John Dinkel
Publisher, Baltimore Business Journal
“I moved from Vice President of Sales to President and Publisher over the past two years. My sales team has exceeded their sales goals for four years in a row with very little turnover, which was “good” turnover.” I would recommend Alan to anyone who is looking for professional and personal growth and is willing and able to be open to new ideas.”
Mary Lou Carlson
President, Mid Atlantic Wholesale Lumber (MAWL)
“As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I have had lots of professional challenges. I had virtually no formal training prior to working with Alan. I have gained insight into my own strengths and weaknesses and gained an understanding of my role as owner. I have acquired confidence and skill in leading my company. The result is an organization that strives to work as a team.”
John Heisler
Principal, Bernstein Global Wealth Management
“Fewer than 1/10th of 1% of all Financial Advisors generates $100 million in production (new clients / assets under management) in one year. This goal was actually met and surpassed in October. And for the full calendar year I managed to bring in $114.5 million in new client assets. Thanks again for all of your assistance and support.”
Glen J. Brandeburg
SVP Operations | Strategy, Training, Integration & Innovation, The Wendy's Company
“My coaching relationship with Alan can be measured in a few tangible ways. First, my performance at work has improved from ‘Slightly Below Target’ to ‘On Target’. Second, without the improvements in my work performance, I do not believe that I would still be employed. Third, the improvements have led to additional rewards in terms of merit increases, higher bonuses, & incremental stock options.”
Bethany Hooper
President, Humphrey Management
“Alan has been my coach for over two years and he has helped focus my energies into improving my business during very challenging economic times. He is a results driven coach and I have benefited and grown while working with him. The tools Alan has given me have helped me to become a better person and a much stronger manager/leader. I was so pleased with my results I decided to invest further and engage Alan to work with members of my team which has made our organization stronger as a whole.”
Tom Carroll
President, Diversified Insurance Industries
“I realized that no organization rises above the level of its leadership and I needed to grow and evolve. Alan has been a game changer for me, teaching me the skills necessary to hold myself to the highest standard. I would highly recommend any leader who wants to achieve greater results to engage Alan and work with him over an extended timeframe.”
Paul Herman
CEO, Visual Data Systems
“Alan helped my organization understand more about ourselves, communicate well as a company and individuals and teams, identify our strengths, gave us a common vocabulary, what makes each individual tick and being respectful of it. It was great to have him as a confidant. His breadth and depth: give any topic and he has something on his mental (or real) shelf that he can expose someone to (business organization, to finance, to guiding people in psychology realm). No matter what came up there was always some solution he could lead me toward or growth, a growth path that I could follow.”
Larry Kraemer
Vice President, Harkins Builders Inc.
“You changed my life! Working with you has released new energy within me and changed the atmosphere of my department and improved my quality of life. Thanks again for all your assistance.”
Roger Lusby
Managing Partner, Frazier & Deeter
“Thanks to your efforts, I am now Managing Partner of our new Alpharetta (Georgia) office! Working with you helped me to effectively develop, present and gain consensus on a growth strategy for our firm. You were a skilled sounding board. I would recommend you to any professional who wants to enhance their career or grow their company.”
