Working with Ally has been truly life-changing for me both personally and professionally, and I really wouldn’t be in the position I am in today without his guidance!

Initially I was a little apprehensive about working with a coach and a mentor, however from our very first discovery meeting, I knew I was in the hands of someone special and someone that would add a huge amount of value in my life. Ally’s unique ability to listen, understand, and then provide targeted advice has transformed my mindset in ways I never imagined possible. Through insightful conversations and thought-provoking exercises, Ally helped me uncover my values, strengths, and passions, allowing me to create a clear vision for my life and career.

Ally is completely committed to my success. Without question, Ally has tailored his approach to my individual needs, challenging me to step outside my comfort zone, be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and reach for new heights. With Ally’s guidance, I've become more focused, driven, and determined than ever before.

I have achieved and continue to achieve goals I once thought were out of reach and have developed a newfound sense of confidence in my abilities. Whether it's navigating career transitions, overcoming obstacles, or simply staying motivated, Ally has been there every step of the way, offering support, encouragement, invaluable insights, and bringing me back to my values.

I cannot recommend Ally highly enough to anyone seeking personal or professional growth. Their expertise, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others make them an invaluable asset to anyone fortunate enough to work with him. If you're ready to transform your mindset, clarify your goals, and unlock your full potential, look no further than Ally.

Rob, huge thanks for such a fantastic testimonial. To see your personal and professional growth over the last year has been an immense joy for me. 5 years ago, I set up my coaching business with one mission in mind, to help leaders navigate and thrive during significant personal and professional change. Your testimonial has truly captured why I love doing this job and have the privilege of doing it. Thank you

During a period of significant change in both my professional and personal life, I had the privilege of connecting with Ally, and I am profoundly grateful for that discovery call.

If someone were to inquire about Ally, I would describe him as possessing a true gift. He demonstrates an extraordinary ability to listen deeply and understand the challenges I faced on a personal and professional level. His guidance kept me accountable, offering clear, concise advice throughout our journey together.

The aspect I am most appreciative of is Ally's creation of a safe and non-judgmental environment for me to delve into my thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. This space enabled me to gain clarity and perspective on the changes I desired in my life. Ally's visionary guidance was truly inspiring and undoubtedly one of the most impactful investments I have made.

I genuinely believe I wouldn't be in the position I am today without Ally, and I cannot express my gratitude enough.

If you're seeking someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart, Ally is the person for you.

I engaged Ally for coaching with a very specific, career related objective in mind. Through the coaching process Ally worked with me to establish my values, and help me understand what was really important to me and made me happy. The outcome of the time I spent working with Ally was very different from my initial objective, and I am delighted it was. I developed a very different perspective on my life, and the confidence to focus on the things that made me happy and let go of those that were holding me back. Ally was incredibly valuable in the career coaching elements we covered in our sessions, but it is the unintended outcomes that have been the most impactful for me. I would not hesitate to recommend working with Ally whatever your objective may be, or even if you do not have an outcome or objective in mind, as the most valuable part of the process is really understanding yourself and your values. Ally, thank you so much for your guidance. It was truly a pleasure to work with you, and I am very excited to continue on the journey you have helped set me on. More...

“I am determined to become the person that I was pretending to be”. I said this to Ally after my tenth session. Session one - I was lost. I had experience, success and clout that was clouded by imposter syndrome and a lack of attention to my deeper needs that weighed me down over the years. Enter Ally Gordon. This is where he works his true magic. He helped me discover the more authentic version of myself I had gotten so good at burying. This comes from his in-depth and multifaceted knowledge like a Swiss Army Knife – the Can Opener of Business, The Key Ring of Nutrition, The Blade of Health, The Screwdriver of Fitness, The Bottle Opener of Mindfulness, the Corkscrew of Neuropsychology.

He has a personal touch that is rare. He checks in with me throughout the week with meaningful content that is applicable to my life and keeps me on track as the stressors of life seep in. I feel free to speak openly and when I start getting “chimpy”, he doesn’t hesitate to acknowledge it with humor and candor. I am lucky to have the opportunity to work with him now, because in a few years’ time, I have no doubt he will be in even higher demand. He is generous in sharing his network of contacts, which has helped me expand my horizons on self-improvement.

I was never one for speaking to strangers about my life, but in a short time, he even helped me gain perspective and insight into my personal relationships as well. Watching how much he genuinely loves being a coach has inspired me to consider the field myself. To see someone so passionate, empathetic, and invested in other people’s well-being can’t help but rub off. I know wherever life takes us, he will be in my life in some shape or form. He will continue to be a touchstone of mentorship for me and many others who are fortunate enough to work with him.”

Ally is an extremely dynamic coach, his experience as a businessman and a family man is what gives him that slight edge. He understood my character and process of learning. He guided me through simple yet crucial tasks that were instrumental to my achievements. After every session I walked away with a summary of what we discussed and what I should do next.
So much about me has improved since working with Ally but the most important takeaway was the healthy separation of work and family that brought stability and progression in both aspects of my life. This I found extremely valuable.

I had the opportunity to work with Ally for a few months. When I first started my sessions with Ally, I was lost and didn't know what to do with my career. During our sessions we discovered how my value system looks like and which are the things that matter to me.

This allowed me to have more clarity into what's important to me and how I see myself growing in the next 10-15 years. Thanks to Ally I was able to be more productive, motivated and have a clear image of where I see myself with my career.

Ally worked with me throughout these months and helped me to understand myself better. I definitely recommend working with Ally, his guidance and wisdom helped me tremendously during a difficult moment in my life. 5/5

Who knows what dark spiral I would've descended into had it not been for Ally. Should you have the pleasure of working with Ally, you'll find that he'll be your #1 champion rooting for you every step of the way. Throughout an intense career change over the last 8 months, Ally's warm but assertive presence helped me navigate paralyzing imposter syndrome. He helped me parse through stress, make decisions, face important meetings with confidence, and map out my values and vision. Between sessions, he also helpfully recommends books, podcasts and is very responsive. I know so much more about myself thanks to him and feel equipped to tackle life's challenges. More...

You have been fantastic to work with - always bringing lots of questions, energy, reflections and being 100% present in all our sessions. You have come such a long way Eileen, a woman most definitely in demand! Thank you for trusting me, keep living those values and living that vision.

1 February 2023

I got in touch with Ally to see if he could support my move from corporate employment to setting up my own business, and after an initial call I signed up for a coaching package. And I’m super happy that I did. Throughout the programme I found Ally to be extremely welcoming, energetic and open-minded. He’ll ask the difficult questions and dive into the things that matter, but equally it really feels like he’s in your corner, always cheering you on and pushing you to take the next step. Having him on my side, encouraging me and helping refine my approach has been invaluable.

As well as working on my business, we did a lot of work on my values, vision and goals. This has helped to lift some mental fog and clarify what comes next me. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Ally for anyone looking to take their business to the next level or seeking more direction or new challenges in their life. Thank you Ally!

Ally coached me over the course of six months. During that time, through his skill and experience, he guided me from having no idea how to start a business to developing a business model for consultancy that captured everything I needed to pursue ambitions I never knew I had. I believe the key to achieving this goal was the process he led but which he always allowed me to drive. It delved deep into my career, my childhood, and my core beliefs and values, connecting key experiences and identifying my true passions. I now have a business that represents everything I stand for and draws from my unique strengths and experience in education. I would not be where I am without Ally's support. More...

Ally is exceptional at what he does and for me the last months of coaching have been life changing ! I work in a very pressured job and was struggling with the work life balance and also the ability to really, truly believe that I could get to the next level - after some very honest sessions it started to click and although we are not finished by any stretch , I feel like a new person and all areas of my life are improving - this is health , family , work , friends and most importantly me feeling happy!

Thank you Ally for all the work you have done with me over the last few months and I am really looking forward to our continued working relationship moving forward.

I would recommend Ally to anyone as I rate him that highly and most importantly I trust him!

Ally works closely with you being more than valuable support system day and night; challenges the way your mindset and why; and listens to offer the best coaching skills that develops your full potential.

Life Coaching

Working with Ally has quite simply been life-changing, to say the least!

From our very first session together, I was instantly put at ease, knowing that I had someone in my corner, who truly wanted me to succeed. Unlike other coaches who have a standardized "cookie cutter" programme, Ally truly takes the time to understand your personal & professional goals, as well as the conscious & subconscious values & beliefs that drive everything we do. This work alone has been incredibly impactful on my life.

Ally doesn't stop there, however. Once we've laid out a blueprint of where we are - and where we want to go - Ally deploys a wide-ranging toolkit of methods, to help light the way to your goals. These plans are easy to follow, actionable and most importantly, fully tailored to the individual - which is a testament to Ally's commitment to understanding my personal situation and needs.

His enthusiasm and dedication to helping me achieve my goals is something which truly has to be seen to be believed. The coaching doesn't 'end' after our weekly session - he is on hand throughout the week, at all hours, to offer advice, pick me up from any setbacks and celebrate my successes.

Furthermore, thanks to the foundation we laid together, Ally's blueprint has set me up for long-term, repeatable success. I can apply the lessons learned throughout our time together to any personal or professional goal that I set my mind on.

I would encourage anyone who is wanting more out of life to speak with Ally. He will give you the keys to unlock it.

Thank you, Ally, from the bottom of my heart, for all your effort and support thus far! Here's to more success!

I was at a point in my life and career where I wanted to truly understand myself, how could I take my career to the next level? How could I bring the right energy? How could I be the best version of myself not only for my family but also for my colleagues, partners, and clients.

From the moment I met Ally I knew he was the Mentor, Coach and Confidant I wanted to work with, I'd spent a lot of time meeting coaches and Ally was completely different in his approach, it was refreshing to find someone that wanted to know about me and why I wanted to "peel the layers back" and take myself to the next level.

Ally has tremendous amounts of knowledge and isn't afraid to have those conversations that challenge you and get you into the correct mindset and way of thinking. It's great that Ally wants to work with the raw version of you, not the polished image we can all portray. We've had some great conversations around things that have been rooted from an early age, which if I'm honest have probably kept me feeling safe, however addressing these has allowed me to truly move on and understand what is important and what I want out of my life and career.

It's been great to go through so many things from “Wellness”, “Habits”, "Wheel of Life", "My Values", "My Vision and Goals”, having a clear focus, holding myself accountable and having my battle board to keep me motivated and delivering my goals.

The way Ally runs his sessions is massively engaging, the way he makes you feel and the time and attention he gives, nothing else matters whilst you are in the session. I can honestly say there hasn't been a session I've come away from not feeling motivated, excited, and having clear focus on what I need to action and achieve next.

I cannot recommend Ally highly enough, as he knows for me this is only the start of a great relationship and journey that we're only just starting to scratch the surface on.

Ally - thank you for everything so far, it's been an honour and privilege to have spent these last 6 months with you, they have been nothing short of spectacular and life changing.

Here's to the journey, couldn't think of a better Mentor, Coach and Confidant to have with me.

I’ll open my endorsement of Ally by saying my work with him has been life changing. When I made the decision to have some coaching one of my primary criteria was feeling comfortable and engaged from the offset. In my introductory session Ally achieved both effortlessly. His calm and welcoming approach really gave me an early insight into the outcomes I would achieve on a deeply personal and individual level. We striped back my situation and have rebuilt how I look at things, respond to things and how I make the changes I desire.

Ally’s methods align and really fit with me, by getting to the root cause we can untangle and start building towards my new goals. Setting those goals and the work around defining and discovering them was insightful, fun, rewarding and challenging. Ally support all of this with good grace, good humour and an unflappable nature. Our sessions always feel productive and progressive.

His recommendations, on podcasts, books, Ted Talks etc always bring something that almost feels customised specifically for me, they always fill the niche for which he intended them. This I think comes down to the fact he really “get’s me”.

His work with me is:
• Outcome focussed
• Holistic and detailed
• Purposeful
• Difficult (at times) but rewarding

If you are looking for someone to help unlock you, support and motivate you to becoming the person you choose to be then you’ve found the right person. (Disclaimer: personal effort\energy\awareness and honesty also required). Have a chat with him. It could be the best choice you make and the start of something exceptional.

I first talked to Ally in September 2021. At the time I was interested in seeking out a coach and had tried a few avenues to find the right one. After the first call with Ally I knew I wanted to work with him. However, due to other commitments in my life at the time I was unable to commit immediately. Ally was completely fine with this and made it clear that the door was open when I was ready. In February 2022 we started to work together.

After the first session I knew that my investment was money well spent. Ally is fantastic at what he does. He is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, humorous and 100% genuine. He knows the right questions to ask and can ask them in a direct, yet supportive way. I felt at all times completely supported by Ally. We have now completed 12 sessions together and I have so much clarity about the path ahead. I look forward to working with Ally well into the future as I work on and achieve my goals (and most likely create some additional ones along the way!)
Thanks Ally, best step I've taken in 2022 was making the decision to work with you.

I started this journey with some expectation level of where I wanted to take myself and what I should expect.
I can honestly say that Ally surpassed this completely. At the end of this intense, precise and well delivered and well crafted experience I have a set of tools, a sense of accountability and real progress which I didn’t thinking was possible.

I found the entire experience to be incredibly challenging and so very rewarding. It’s a cliché to say I wish I’d started this journey sooner, I wish I had.

Ally has had such a positive impact on my entire life, these benefits I feel on a daily basis are just wonderful. He’s a friend for life and I would without question recommend his coaching.

Ally is honest, thoughtful and open. He understands you, which is such an incredible skill to have.

Working with Ally has been both an important and hugely rewarding experience.

I'm 34 and work in a high pace environment with plenty of pressure to deliver, yet I was suffering from a combination of imposter syndrome, being caught up in a past narrative that would stifle my growth and self belief and I would generally over-think situations. Over time, this manifested into a general anxiety around work and therefore life and with a young family this became really stressful!

Working with Ally has helped me to think in the present, understand what I truly care about and focus on the iterative habits that help me grow. He is an excellent listener and thinker, turning what looks seemingly very complicated and unachievable into simple and actionable. I feel more honest with myself, more productive, positive and grateful for my life, my family , my career.

Thanks Ally!

It would not be an overstate to say that I owe part of my success to Ally. I stumbled across his profile by chance and now I realize how lucky I was at that moment. Ally's approach is a perfectly balanced combination of support, accountability, encouragement and challenge.

Transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, I was stuck with massive experience, a lot of will power and solid professional skills but total absence of focus or even a clear goal. Kind of like a semi-dormant volcano without a crater. Here comes Ally. He was brave enough to take me on. With amazing precision, he helped me to make inventory of values and beliefs inside my own had, to employ the tools of building a new solid foundation of my new place in profession and in the world.

Basically, Ally turned that messy unruly volcano into a highly efficient powerplant supporting my new professional establishment, growth and overall belief in my strengths in life. Without a doubt, I am a stronger and happier person now than I was before starting to work with Ally. And unless Ally will become oversubscribed in the future, I know I'll come for more. Actually, even if he will become oversubscribed I'll come anyways. Chance to work with Ally is worth queuing for.

I am a 34-year-old healthcare entrepreneur from London and I count myself very lucky to have come across Ally's coaching when seeking self-improvement guidance on the web. As a business man myself, I was able to connect with Ally from the beginning of our engagements given Ally's entrepreneurial background as an operations director of a large hospitality chain. Together with Ally we were able to drill down on the core principles and values that I hold, develop a roadmap of my life journey, and kit myself up with the tools that aid in excellent decision making, professional and personal success, and happiness. We had successfully built a guidance document, which helps me on daily basis and provides clarity of thought and direction.

Like many others I had reached a plateau in my career. After climbing up the ladder quickly, early, I felt my progress had slowed. I was struggling for motivation and focus and needed help to fulfil my potential. I found Ally – something that I am certain I will see as a turning point in my professional and personal lives.

Above all Ally helped me to understand that until I understood my 'why' I was most likely to continue to work hard just to stand still. Ally’s approach was thoughtful, considered and designed to get the most traction for me personally. The work we did together allowed me to map my life and values in a way that I had never been able to previously. This cleared the fog - for the first time I was able to best target the use of my time and energy into things that really mattered to me and to the person I wanted to be.

The approach was practical and bespoke to me, I now have a set of tools and skills available to me to draw upon to implement the vision I have created for my life. All aspects of my life. When I started working with Ally I assumed I needed a slight career course correction and a few productivity hacks, instead what we have done together over the last few months is much much deeper and sustaining. I now spend less time thinking about work while delivering more and being a better father, husband and person.

I couldn’t recommend Ally enough. It’s clear he’s someone who has a real love for what he does. He has found his ‘why’ and everyone he works with benefits from that.

Luckily for me and maybe for you I choose Ally Gordon, I didn't envy his task …dealing with a hardened cynic who thought he knew everything....

What a fantastic revelation I received, Ally, chopped down a few mental trees and allowed me to see the real 'wood of my life'

I'd give him 5 stars, but if his advertising was better I'd have discovered his plain & fundamental methods years ago and my life and direction been so very much better for it

Ok I'm being harsh I'll give him 4.999 stars

Working with Ally has been a journey of discovery and hey presto right towards the end we broke through to the solutions just like that. I feel like he trusted his system and tools and he knew we would succeed where I had doubts. Whatever the solution to the problem working with Ally will help you succeed in not only the issues you may face, but will provide other wins on the way. Not only that but it helps that he’s a really great guy. More...

Business & Career Coaching

Making the decision to work with Ally is one of the most impactful choices I’ve made.

I went to Ally wanting to improve my confidence within my leadership role, not only did Ally deliver but the experience far surpassed my expectations. As a result of the coaching my effectiveness as a leader has increased as well as my confidence. It’s not just work though, all aspects of my life have improved; I’m now clear about what I want from life and the behaviours I can to build to get there.

Ally helped me understand how my past experiences are showing up for me in my current behaviours and emotions and more importantly, how I can grow beyond that and move forward. He has helped me to improve my own coaching skills when working with others.

Ally immediately puts you at ease and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals, even if you don’t know what they are yet. I highly recommend working with Ally.

Ally has been a breath of fresh air. I knew I wanted to improve my confidence but had no idea on the journey I would take and improvements I would make in all areas of my life.

I have worked on my values, vision and goals to bring together all areas of my life into one simple and clear vision of the person I want to be and where I want to get to in my career, social life and family life as well as making time to nurture my health.

I have developed hugely over this time and look forward to the rest of the journey ahead of me. I highly recommend Ally, you will not be dissappointed.

Ross - thank you for the lovely review. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and seeing the huge changes and shift in your energy and confidence every week. Lots more to come!

Looking back at my first few sessions with Ally I can see how much I was a shadow of my current self. I was in a place where I couldn’t see the wood from the trees and the weight of it all had succumbed to me. After my first session I could start to see the path and my next steps a little more clearer - fast forward a couple more sessions and I had already started my journey and was just sweeping away the debris.

Ally helped me focus my energy on my joy, my future, my goals, my values and taught me how to lock them all together in a wonderful intricate puzzle. He helped me rebuild my foundations, strive for what I truly believe in and silence the fear gremlin that would bubble from triggers. I am truly blessed to have Ally as my coach, and recommend anyone to take that first step to start a new journey.

"I started work with Ally at the start of lockdown when I had been made redundant. Life felt pretty hopeless and black. Through Ally's blend of being a real and relatable person plus rigorous approach to digging out the blockers, life totally changed for me. He digs deep but also brings another dimension that connects you back into laughter and joy.

I now have my own successful business with great clients, which I love and I have also found happiness and love in a relationship I thought was lost.

Huge accolades and gratitude goes to Ally for his unique and (literally) heart-warming approach. Could not recommend working with him highly enough."

Alastair is a force of nature. He has over the last 12 months been giving me the coaching and mentoring I need to stop and find my way back to balance in all areas of life.

His ability to meet you where you are and take you on a journey to more clarity and balance is outstanding.

I have used many coaches and mentors throughout my career Alastair stands out to be one of the best.

Thank you Michael. Feeling very mutual!

Having a conversation with Alastair is like opening a door that you didn't even know needed opening and feeling momentarily dazzled by the light. Even when you think you have it all sorted out and there is nothing else to work on you will find yourself seeing more just by being in the same space as Alastair.

There is always another LEVEL to go to when you are work with Ally - the question is imply wether you are willing to allow yourself to go to that level.

He truly listens and engages and steps into any conversation with an excitement and energy and engagement that is infectious. If you ever get the chance to work with him then grab it because the time I spent with him lifted my soul and left me grinning ear to ear - feeling yet another level of energy available to me and to the possibilities within my own life

Thank you Tara - what a fantastic review! Hugely appreciated

16 May 2021

I was introduced to Ally by a mutual friend. Having qualified as a life coach Myself, I was looking for a ‘Master Coach’ to help me find my coaching niche and to guide me through what it was that I really felt really comfortable doing.

We identified that my background as an entrepreneur was a great foundation to align with my coaching skills, so much so, that I am now mentoring founders and entrepreneurs in the lifestyle and beauty industry, a niche I would not have found without Ally’s guidance.

From the outset, Ally was open, thoughtful, attentive and I felt immediate trust. He has navigated the journey with me with so much wisdom and integrity, unfixed to a specific path and fluid enough to embrace whatever challenges came up. Never without a smile, I didn’t want my sessions to end.

As a senior executive in investment banking, ex professional rugby player, nearly 50 and at a complete loss on how to deal with myself during lockdown, I turned to Ally in my hour of need. The literal watershed moment was upon me. I had spent the better part of 36 years escaping my demons from a deeply traumatic event when I was 12 years old. I used great escape methods, deflection tactics, mastered the art of avoidance and eschewed the virtues of a lone wolf. All my relationships failed, my life was a search for meaning in almost every continent on this planet. That search was INSIDE me.

Lockdown ensured that I could not run away and catch a flight, work harder than I used to, exercise harder than I used to because exercise, hard work, flying and other methods were the perfect gambit to allowing me to stretch my ego and pride a little further, as I had come from a world where old school male thinking was "Just be busy, be better than anyone, don't be vulnerable, don't share and more importantly never show the world how you are feeling. I saw in graphic detail how dark and lonely I was.

Enter Ally Gordon. We arranged an introductory chat. I even cancelled the first meet time, but with all reluctance and reticence, we had a call. The reason for canceling was the typical male ego and pride, the fear of being seen as weak. All of those feelings were there and I knew that I was in a place where I couldn't miss being able to change what and who I was. I mustered up all the courage I had and the call was done. The session flew by, Ally made me feel immediately like I was in a safe space. My feelings of fear, worry, hurt and avoidance melted away. I felt energised and almost as if the universe knew, I felt an immediate need to begin a journey of self help and reclaiming a sense of purpose and vision. I have been on an incredible journey with Ally and we have managed to work through many traditional but also unconventional methods to allow me to have a clear view of my "wheel of life" I have a vision with purpose and values. My insatiable need to learn, read and write has released so many inner demons and allowed me to step forward as an authentic, vulnerable, transparent human. My work ethic has evolved from hard work = better outcomes, to work smart = fulfilled means. My relationships are flourishing. I have a key desire to have the meaning and purpose we have on this earth mean something for me, and then in turn others.

Never give up on your hopes and dreams, just make sure you have a clarity and feeling for what and where you need to be. This is all done like anything. Have a view, write it down, rest, eat well, have FUN, move, work with someone like Ally, or with Ally!! This journey is not just the cliche of enjoy the ride, or the destination, but also the connections that you make along the way.

Thank you Ally for the mentorship, advice and care shown in my darkest hours, now you and I reap the benefit of a better me.

I first spoke to Ally in a period of time where I was lacking direction and clarity in my professional life, which was having a real detrimental effect on my personal life, I knew I needed to speak to someone.

My first session with Ally ended with me feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and that feeling has continued with a sense of clarity emerging over the months that have followed.

He has a fantastic way of guiding you to understand and to really 'catch' your behaviours and decision making in a way that is completely supportive and constructive. After just two months I could really start to see what the "vision" of my life could and should be and I know that without Ally I wouldn't be anywhere near knowing how important that was.

I stumbled upon one of Ally's posts on LinkedIn by chance. I knew I desperately needed clarity, I felt like I was walking through a thick fog everyday and felt exhausted. Our first introductory session was meant to be for 60 minutes but we spoke for about 2.5/3hours! The first session itself made me feel a little better but I had no idea how the next 3 months would transform my life.

It has been an incredible journey! Every session made me feel lighter and gave me more clarity. I'm now more confident, energetic and have been re focused to start thinking about the life I want to live and create. Ally is warm, kind and very easy to talk to. He isn't hippy dippy.. no offence to anyone! He isn't a coach that will use buzz word after buzz word nor is he going to make you feel better by giving you a motivational speech, every session.

This journey will be filled with honesty, eye opening realisations and practical steps to push through and achieve what you should be achieving.

I can't tell whoever is reading this to go ahead and book 12 sessions, you have to want it! However, I will be working with Ally for at least another year

Q&As

I love the results my clients get from the work we do together. My coaching work is laser focused on getting my clients crystal clear with their life, both personally and professionally. I use a methodology that has brought a huge amount of success to my own life and to numerous clients. After 20 years of building and leading businesses, I get a huge amount of personal and professional satisfaction supporting and guiding others to achieve their own success and work through the challenges that we all face at one time or another.

Over the last two decades I have launched grown and led over 55 hospitality businesses from start - ups to global, including creating a concept and working directly with Jamie Oliver. The last business, as the founding director I introduced into the UK, https://oleandsteen.co.uk/ grew from zero to 250 employees, sales of 14 million, 10 sites and sold to private equity for millions in the space of three years.

Four years ago, I decided that I wanted to go into coaching full time to give back all that I have achieved and learned personally and professionally, build a business for myself and spend more time with my children after a pretty hectic 20 years!

With my 20 years of building businesses I have experienced many of the personal and professional highs and lows my clients will be experiencing. The methodology I now use with my clients is based on those experiences as well as all the work I have done on my own self development. I use a coach myself and surround myself with mentors, I am a great believer in the statement that you should "stand on the shoulders of giants"

I am 110% dedicated to my clients which my testimonials demonstrate hopefully.

My coaching is available online
Clients can also come to my studio should they wish.

Clients that come to my studio are provided with sanitiser.
I leave an hour between sessions so that I can sanitise the area
I wear a surgical mask - I encourage my clients to do so should they want
