We also formulated a specific, actionable career development plan after helping me understand my strengths and interests.”
Robert, Area Manager, Global Retailer, Spain.
“I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Alec, who has been instrumental in my career progression to Senior Partner Manager. When I embarked on this partnership, I was seeking not just advancement but personal growth, and Alec delivered exceptionally on both fronts.
Alec possesses an extraordinary ability to identify and magnify one's strengths while sensitively addressing areas for improvement. Under his guidance, my leadership skills flourished. He taught me the subtle art of influence and the necessary balance of assertiveness and empathy required to lead effectively. Additionally, his unique exercises tailored for patience-building allowed me to master the art of composure in high-pressure situations, turning potential conflict into collaborative dialogue.
Strategically, Alec is unmatched in his approach. His method of breaking down complex scenarios into manageable elements paved the way for clear, actionable strategies that directly contributed to my role’s successes. His proactive mindset and future-oriented planning equipped me to anticipate shifts in my company and drive my team forward innovatively and confidently.
Alec’s coaching was the catalyst for my promotion, but more so, he has enhanced my professional demeanour to one that embodies patience, fortitude, and strategic acumen. His support has been paramount in supercharging my career.”
Mike, Senior Partner Manager, Top 3 UK Retailer, UK.
“Prior to working with Alec, my business strategy was vague, and I felt a sense of apprehension and worry about the upcoming year. However, with Alec's guidance, his emphasis on accountability, and his positive approach, I gained a newfound confidence in my business's future. Alec helped me establish a clear set of goals and objectives for the next 12 months. Remarkably, within just a few months of starting the programme, I saw tangible improvements in my business growth and profitability.”
Max, CEO & Business Owner, IT Provider, UK.
“I started my sessions with Alec at the time when I was looking to get a promotion, and Alec was instrumental in helping me make my case. He has been incredible in helping me assess my career to date, where my strengths lie and how I can capitalise on those going forward. I’ve learned a great deal about myself as a person and what is it that truly matters to me both in my career and personal life – which led me to a realisation that I am keen to change my environment and have now relocated to a new country where I’m thriving both personally and professionally!
I’ve tried many coaches before and almost given up as I felt I wasn’t making progress and I wasn’t given concrete advice - but I’m so glad I came across Alec as he’s the only one who gave me specific, tangible advice that was easy to implement and yielded immediate results! Through his online portal, he also helps me set and track goals and shares useful reading materials and tips on skill development.
Every session is extremely impactful and enjoyable as I feel at ease sharing my aspirations and thoughts with Alec. He is very encouraging, empathetic and truly cares about my success and career development.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Alec to anyone seeking an impactful coach who can offer transformational advice and guidance and help you reach your full potential!”
Josie, Vice President, Global Financial Services, Australia.
“I met Alec at a moment in my career when I was feeling demotivated and very unsure about where to take things next. I wanted to gain my confidence back and make sure I was progressing in a positive direction once again. Since beginning coaching, I have really been able to identify my strengths and to use them to my advantage. I understand more about what works for me in the workplace, and what doesn't, and I feel more confident in my own skills and decision-making.
I knew I didn't feel completely happy with where I was in my career, but I wasn't sure exactly why. A big part of my coaching journey was therefore to actually identify those challenges and objectives and break them down into manageable chunks, before developing a plan to address them. The sessions helped me to move away from a mindset wherein my day-to-day client work took absolute priority, and helped me to realise that taking some time out each week to think and plan would be beneficial for both my progression and that of my team.
I have found coaching to be a very rewarding experience - it has been transformative. Alec himself was always very encouraging and ultimately gave me the push and the tools I needed to identify and reach my goals myself.
I would definitely recommend our coaching sessions to others. Alec strikes the right balance between being approachable and understanding, and holding you accountable to what you have said you will do, so that you ultimately get the most out of the sessions. If you are at a crossroads in your career, or perhaps you aren't getting the direction and support you need in the workplace, or if you are lacking the skills or confidence you need to reach your goals, Alec can help you. I started my sessions with Alec not knowing whether to stay on in my current role or to pursue another option that was on the table. I actually ended up going for a third option, which I am super excited about and probably wouldn't have had the confidence to do if it wasn't for these sessions.”
Beth, Assistant Director, Public Relations, UK.
"Developing my career is fundamental for me, and I wanted to ensure I had all the necessary skills required to progress my career in law, particularly focused on my leadership skills. Alec’s coaching has been a game-changer for me. I am feeling much more confident and equipped to handle complex situations with grace and authority.
Through his tailored approach, Alec helped me identify and leverage my strengths, while also addressing areas where I needed improvement.
His insights were not only relevant but also immediately applicable, which made a significant difference in how I perform at work. The results speak for themselves—I've received positive feedback from colleagues and superiors alike, and I'm now leading projects that were once out of my reach. Choosing Alec as a coach has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions for my personal and professional growth."
Lucy, Senior Associate, Global Law Firm, UK.
“Your coaching is impactful and immediately applicable. The insights and strategies you provided are invaluable for professionals serious about enhancing their business and leadership skills. I highly recommend Alec to those looking to add a competitive edge to their business!”
Bassel, Business Owner, Technologies Sector, UK.
“I worked with Alec during a crucial time in my leadership and career development. Alec’s support and coaching not only helped me succeed in the short-term to achieve my career goals, but has also given me a framework to develop going forward. I really enjoyed our sessions, not only because of the tools Alec gave me to develop, but also how he made an effort to understand me and my way of thinking. Alec makes the sessions enjoyable and keeps you accountable.”
Blayre, Legal Senior Associate, Global Law Firm, Ireland.
“Alec has an extremely genuine, warm, and encouraging coaching style. This from my perspective helps to build trust and a good level of engagement from an early stage. It's easy to see that we are being pushed out of genuine belief in our potential. My sessions with Alec really helped break down leadership barriers in my way and now I feel more motivated, more confident and feel better about myself. I am now growing more in my role and I feel I can handle issues and risks better.”
Mika, Legal Senior Associate, Magic Circle Law Firm, UK.
“I was very confused and unclear regarding the direction of my career. After my coaching sessions with Alec, I gained good clarity on what my career priorities and focus areas are and it helped me eliminate all the distractions confusing me. I now feel more confident and focused and know what motivates me and drains my energy. This helps me take more conscious decisions. I refer people to Alec, because when I see my friends and acquaintances confused like I used to be, the only name that comes to my mind is Alec. I want them to have the same amount of clarity that I now have.”
Sandipa, Brand Protection Manager, Global IT Network Provider, India.
“Alec’s compassionate nature and attentive listening skills created a secure and nurturing environment where I could openly express my thoughts, concerns, and aspirations. He genuinely cared about my success and always prioritised my needs and desires, ensuring that each session was tailored to my unique circumstances.
Through insightful discussions and thought-provoking questions, he skillfully guided me to identify my strengths and ways to build on them, helping with my career transition. Equally, he assisted me in pinpointing areas for development and provided valuable strategies to enhance my skills, ultimately empowering me to take charge of my professional growth.
Elizabeth, Digital Marketing Manager, Advertising Agency, UK.
“After my sessions with Alec, I went from being a person who was permanently living in anxiety, unable to progress in my career, to being transformed into a self confident and effective human being. I remember my first session and my last session. If the person who I was in the first session met the person I turned out to be, he would be envious. Alec’s coaching was life-changing beyond my expectations”
George, Business Owner, Tech Company, India.
“Working through my CliftonStrengths with Alec was a game changer for me. I have spent most of my life minimising my abilities and talents and the CliftonStrengths de-brief, together with the associated exercises, has really helped me to become confident in describing myself to others! Another massive take away from the CliftonStrengths was understanding how my top themes complimented each other and how I could use those themes to my advantage in different situations. I cannot recommend doing the CliftonStrengths assessment and de-brief with Alec highly enough! It is a game changer!”
Tiffany, Executive Director, Hospitality, Spain.
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alec and would recommend it to anyone looking to grow as a professional and as a person. He knows how to ask the right questions without judging, and provides a safe ground for self-reflection. His positive and cheerful attitude left me with high spirits - and much to think about - after every session!”
Marin, Product Owner, Advertising Agency, France.
