            Satisfied Customers who decided to make a difference 
                      in their own life and in the lives of others

As an Operations Manager of 16 retail stores, I identified areas of my leadership that I wanted to build. Dave and I worked regularly to develop these areas and consciously balanced them with my personal life. It was great to have a strong external influence to help grow key areas. I saw significant changes in my leadership, particularly in time management, conflict resolution, strategic planning and work/life balance. I can genuinely say my time with Dave has made me a better person and a more influential leader.

I am a business executive with 80 staff under my leadership.  Having a coach is a good way to take time-out, in the endeavour to keep a balanced perspective for myself, in this busy world.   It is a pleasure to recommend David Allan to anyone looking for coaching in either personal or professional development.
  
He has provided me with both these areas of personal and professional coaching for three months now and has greatly assisted me in making my own goals and aspirations more clear and on track.  His true professional and confidential approach is most beneficial to any busy person or hardworking executive, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective client.

I met David, purely by coincidence, at a Christopher Howard conference in Brisbane in late 2005. I was experiencing a particularly turbulent time in my personal life and at the same time, was implementing some major changes in my business structure and direction.
 
I was very fortunate to have met David at this difficult time. He is a great coach and has helped me to effectively work on a number of areas in both my business and personal life. David is nice but firm, it is this quality that keeps me on track when I lose focus or begin to wander into not so fruitful areas of life. It is such a huge advantage to have someone positive and supportive to talk to once a month. With David’s help I have made major inroads in the areas of time and stress management, two areas where business owners, including myself, don’t spend enough time.

David keeps my goals focused, time framed and achievable. Thanks to David, I have regained quality time with my family, and a business that is now more focused, profitable and productive. We still have work to do, but the changes David has helped me implement in my life over the last twelve months, have had a hugely positive influence on me as a person and business owner. Thank you David!!

By having David as my Business Coach, he has frequently assisted me in my work and private life.  I look forward to our sessions together as it gives me the opportunity to tell in confidence an independent person exactly what I'm doing.  I am able to share what I've done, and what I plan to do with my goals on a regular basis.   
  
Being the General Manager of a growing Taxi Business keeps me on my toes. So by having someone on my side, who knows where I’m headed gives me the motivation to achieve what I want from my working career as well as my personal life.

I have no hesitation in commending David and his coaching techniques.  I had the privilege of being coached by David over a number of months.  Even after twenty-five years in a management role, David was able to reveal areas to work on.  I found the module on time Management extremely useful and very helpful.  David was both non-threatening and supportive in his approach.  He was particularly effective in the interpersonal skill of active listening.  I was able to make full use of David's teaching in my role as a Manager, thereby assisting me to work more effectively with my fellow workers.

In my personal life, I was also able to apply the principles learned to assist me with better Time Management. It is with much pleasure that I commend David Allan in his role as a Business Coach.

I operate the Sunshine Coast branch of a large communications company in Brisbane. Recently the workload has become greater than I could manage. I was becoming tired, run down, and generally feeling totally overwhelmed. With the help of Advanced Lifestyle Development I have been able to take the focus off the mountain that was before me and break it down into small manageable tasks. This gave me a great sense of achievement and I could finally see the light at end of the tunnel. David has helped me take control of my life and my job and has taught me how to not let them control me.

Hi my name is Liz.  I've been coached by David Allan for the past couple of years.  I have found the experience to be invaluable to me.  Personal coaching has helped me to set both short and long term goals for my life.  I have found great improvement in my decision-making abilities, and much more clarity about what I want to achieve in my life.  Having a life coach certainly helps you see what the road blocks are in your life and how to remove them, in order to reach your potential.

Having Dave as my life coach is like having a friend who believes that I can make changes in my life where I've wanted to, and then encourages me throughout the process. I'm now two thirds into my coaching contract and as I look back, there have been many changes in my life for good.

Another benefit has been Dave's ability to help me clarify what is important to me and keep me focused on these things. Now I feel like I'm more in control of my life, and those around me are benefiting too. 
 
 
      
 





 
The mentoring I received from David Allan has been invaluable!! Coaching has helped me break through phobias and overcome negative thought patterns. I also understand myself more deeply as coaching has helped me to probe into my thinking to understand how I operate. Dave has helped me recognize and understand why I feel so driven to achieve trivial things. Then to look beyond these trivial things to form goals based on more important issues. The advice is so relevant, I find myself passing it on to my friends and family.

David’s coaching is insightful, honest and upfront.  On a practical level, I have been enabled to move to a new place, leave a job I didn't like and find one I did, and confront some issues that I needed to.  Internally, my enthusiasm for life has been restored through David’s coaching. It is great to have a space in my life where I can be real and open!

Thank You David!





 
    
Hi my name is Sara O’Brien I asked David to be my mentor and personal development coach, so I could improve and meet my goals that I had previously set for both my work and personal life. Not only did Dave help me meet these goals, he also helped me set new ones with clearly defined action steps to ensure they were achieved in a certain time limit.

Dave helped me believe, having been given the right steps, I could achieve anything. This helped me strengthen my self-confidence in order to try new and bigger things. 
 
Dave also taught, and modeled for me, important yet simple things like quality customer service by going the extra mile with encouraging phone calls and inspiring emails. These made a huge difference in keeping me focused on what was important. They empowered me to overcome all obstacles that got in my way throughout the mentoring process. If you are a person who would like to make life changes or any type of changes, Dave can help you step by step reach your full potential.
 
Thanks, Dave
