About Alan

I like to say, I listen for a living.

In my role as a certified leadership consultant and coach my focus is to help leaders invent or reinvent themselves and their teams by helping them discover and harness their strengths.

With a background of twenty plus years in Human Resources, I’ve been the HR-department-of-one and the HR team leader inside industries as diverse as financial services, aerospace and hospitality. From Y2K to the global pandemic, I have managed HR teams and guided leaders through mergers and acquisitions, staffing surges, large-scale layoffs, and cultural transformations.

This experience enables me now to bring to every table an informed perspective coupled with my natural curiosity. I’ve been told I am “passionately curious.”

In addition to my experience and curiosity, I also bring my signature positivity and nice guy style to every engagement. Hoping to prove that not all nice guys finish last, I am on a personal life-long mission to save civility in leadership while making every day a best day at work.

Whatever is on your mind, give me a call. Let’s work together.
