Shift leaders from stifling, survival strategies to human-centered, grace-fueled growth, with Alan's revolutionary leadership framework
Caitlin C., Manager
Too many teams are running on fear, forced performance, and burnout disguised as ambition. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Fanatical Grace™ is my leadership framework designed to transform toxic patterns into thriving cultures—without sacrificing results.
Built from 25 years in HR leadership—and forged in the fires of real-world pressure—this model challenges the flawed belief that performance and people are at odds.

Grace-Fueled Growth
for Founders & Executives
Through private coaching supported by CliftonStrengths and my proprietary Fix–Force–Fear Assessment—anchored in my Fanatical Grace™ leadership framework—I help leaders unlock their natural talents to grow with clarity and confidence.
Limited availability. Let's connect.
For 25 years, I helped organizations—from scrappy startups to global corporations—lead through crisis, fix broken cultures, and unlock performance under pressure. I’ve supported frontlines and C-suites alike. I’ve been in the rooms where trust breaks, morale sinks, and leaders freeze.

That moment led to a 30-day deep dive into what makes a team thrive. And it became the foundation of Fanatical Grace™—my leadership framework that helps people lead better without losing themselves in the process.
Today, I speak, coach, and lead workshops to help leaders:
