Claire Jarvis, Director of Communications

The coaching has been very useful for me at a time when I’ve been at a crossroads in my career. It encouraged me to focus and build on my skills and experience and to set my sights on senior roles within the organisation. It has given me the confidence to convince myself and others that I am ready for the challenge that a specific role would bring, and I was recently confirmed in this new role on the Board.

The coaching has been invaluable in helping me transition to a new and bigger role. In particular it has helped me to consider my own needs and development opportunities, including coping with a great deal of uncertainty in my career direction. I have been particularly impressed with the support given on my people management challenges.

We’ve seen a dramatic increase in quality pipeline and sales in less than 3 months.  The Motivation Review has paid for itself many times over.

Louise Wiles, Senior Director, Customer Management

Extra Dimension has an excellent talent for developing people. They provide the right level of encouragement and challenge, which motivates people to continue developing themselves. I achieved fast track promotion to Director and then Senior Director. The coaching has helped by providing the challenge that I needed to step outside of the status quo, while helping me to plan and prioritise in a considered fashion.

Ian Bowles, CEO

Extra Dimension’s management training was engaging and well received by all. The result has been better consideration and ‘early intervention’ on people issues, as well as close co-operation between the teams. We are a growing and evolving business and this has enabled our company to manage change more effectively.

Warren Munson, Managing Director

We used Alan as a both a speaker at our Business Forum and also to provide us with a Motivation Review. In my dealings with Alan I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable, engaging and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan to others.

Martin Hartley, Managing Director

I can recommend Alan without hesitation. He is enthusiastic and professional, and his tailored approach makes him very easy to work with. More importantly, his methods have resulted in real benefits to our company and we look forward to continuing to work with him.

Kathryn Sutcliffe, President

The ideas Alan presents are easy to grasp and easy to fit into your daily routine. Alan is able to make you realise that you can improve the way you work through a few simple steps so there doesn’t have to be a total overhaul of the way you do things.

The coaching sessions with Extra Dimension encouraged me to address issues that I had been avoiding, particularly delegating to others. The sessions were enjoyable and stimulating, and Alan’s challenging style helped to reveal some valuable insights which have prompted a change in my thinking about some areas of my business Read the rest of this entry »

I met with Alan at a time when I had lost faith in my decision making ability.  It can be very lonely running a business, especially if you are only accountable to yourself!  Alan’s coaching allowed me to discuss the issues that were affecting me personally and regain some focus.  It’s great to have a space where you can step out of your business and Alan facilitated this for me.  I recommend Alan wholeheartedly!

Extra Dimension has helped me to think differently about a wide variety of situations, including personal development, team management and a career change. The coaching sessions have made me more effective at resolving issues, as well as uncovering many new opportunities.

I now have a clear vision of where my business needs to go to enable me to achieve success. The coaching style is relaxed and yet challenging, with the right direction and encouragement to move things forward.

You effectively challenged my behaviours and career aspirations. I have since re-evaluated my working life and have now completed two years of running my own business – successfully! Had you not given me the kick I needed, I would not now be having such a fun challenge – many thanks.

The coaching helped me to refocus on the direction in my work rather than drift into things. By defining what success looks like for me, I am much clearer, feel less guilty and less frustrated. I am now focusing on broadening my client base, to help me feel more secure.
