Alan’s new book, Embrace Your Inner Peaches, is available now!

Connecting leaders with their inner strengths to make a powerful impact

Are you a leader seeking a transition, or who recently made one? An introvert living in an extroverted world? You’ve come to the right place.

Alan Heymann is a leadership coach and facilitator who works with managers and executives, using an integrated approach that brings together their leadership goals and personal wellbeing. His clients have spanned corporations (including the Fortune 50), nonprofit organizations, public utilities, federal, county and municipal governments.

What we offer

  • Leadership Coaching

    Alan offers one-on-one leadership coaching packages to work through both common and unique challenges with each client. The coach’s job is to support the client in navigating around obstacles to achieve the kind of growth that only comes from within.

  • Workshops and Keynotes

    Alan is available for custom workshops and keynote addresses for organizations looking to inspire and motivate their teams. Talk to us about LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® or a group Everything DiSC activity for your next event or retreat.

  • Career Transitions

    Ready to make a change? Career transitions work best with a little support. Don’t apply to hundreds of job postings on the Internet. Alan will help you create a tailored approach to find what you want — playing to your strengths and using your existing network.
