Testimonials

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.
