Business coaching

"Alanna's counsel has been important in my solidifying my goals, holding myself accountable, and making and implementing decisions in alignment with my beliefs and values. Her thinking is laser-focused and her commitment to her clients is unwavering. Many aspects of my life, not just my short and long term business objectives, have come together more quickly and easily with her support.  Call her – invest in yourself. You won't be sorry."

"Alanna is one of the most resourceful people I have ever met. When I hired her as my coach, I naturally expected to get a good motivator and analyst, but I now find I have all that plus high quality business consulting.

"Running a business with an international focus has its challenges and it changes every day, demanding the owner to prepare for different scenarios not the least of which are cultural. When standards are set for ethics and service which go well beyond industry norms, the challenges are greater. Alanna has been of great assistance as she as become keenly aware of challenges facing this business and she has exposed paradigms in my approach to growth and enabled me to guide the business in a wholesome and ethical way. We will continue working together over the next year.

"I knew as soon as I called Alanna that we would work well together.  Her honesty, sensitivity, and high ethical standards were evident in that first consultation.  Alanna was very good at talking me through my fears and stopping places, and supporting me to take positive action. The thing that I most appreciate about Alanna is her uncanny ability to perceive the central core of any issue, and then suggest real and plausible solutions that actually work.

"I've been in sales for most of my life, so I thought I was well prepared to go out on my own.  I wasn't.  Being part of a sales team had given me a structure to get through the day.  My supervisor would hand me a stack of leads to follow up on that the telemarketers had put together the day before.  And all of the promotional materials just came to me in neat, little envelopes.

"I wouldn't have believed that a woman I still have never met, living on the west coast of Canada, who has never worked in my field, could have become so important to my consulting practice here in New York.  But Alanna came highly recommended, so I decided to take her up on that complimentary consultation and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

"I've been a client of Alanna's for several years now – several very good years for me and my business, setting concrete goals and exceeding expectations every time. If you can work with her, you should. She is inspiring and you will never feel more passionate about your life or your business!"

"Working with Alanna as I build my business in Toronto is like having a board of directors and a guardian angel all rolled into one. Even though I have a fair bit of experience running a business, Alanna often draws my attention to things I hadn't thought of, and helps me see even basic aspects of business development such as defining my target market, branding and networking in a helpful new light. Alanna is a great resource and an even greater sounding board. If you've never worked with a coach, try it.
