Testimonials

“Alan’s PR experience combines with his business acumen to supply his clients with valuable tools to find balance in their business on many levels. Alan helped me identify and address triggers that were blocking my ability to effectively lead my agency team. He’s coached me on why balance matters and how to use my core strengths to achieve it.”

Kris Schindler, Managing Partner
Start-Thinking Public Relations

“Alan is full of great information and delivers it in a way that is both professional and relatable particularly because he is able to address specific issues and pressures in the PR industry. Even when there was information presented that we already knew being reminded is a great tool as well because it helps build a stronger team. I also found some of the tools effective in my personal life as well and highly recommend his workshop.” -Principal, Public Relations Agency

“Alan has helped me to focus not only on finding a job but also on what is important in my life and what type of position will allow me to use my experience and skills and give me the most satisfaction both personally and professionally. He has helped me to organize my time, and my life, so that I can more effectively search for a new position while also allowing myself time for other things that are important to me. Alan has helped me market myself more effectively and to calm the anxiety I felt at losing my job. I would highly recommend Alan as a job coach.” -PR Executive

“Alan is a warm and genuine coach who also possesses keen intelligence and palpable enthusiasm… He’s like a great friend in your corner, who you just love to hang out with and talk to…but who also has the insight and the tools to help you get where you want to go in life. My friends are all a little jealous when I tell them about Alan…I mean, who WOULDN’T want someone smart, fun, cool, savvy and caring in their corner to help them cut through all the most frustrating bullshit in their life?

“Working with Alan is fun, but it’s also thought-provoking and sometimes really challenging. It’s great to be asked the questions he asks, though…because they really cut to the chase about what I want in my life, why I want it, and what’s stopping me from getting it.”

“In a very brief amount of time, Alan Cohen encouraged me to look within to identify the solutions I was searching for. With patience, guidance and support, he helped me to access the various resources, tools, and confidence building techniques I needed for continued personal growth and professional achievement. Most importantly, he reminded me of the power of positive thinking. He entered my life at just the right moment and I consider myself very fortunate to have met him.” – NY Theater Producer, coaching client

“While it’s only been a few months that I’ve been working with Alan, trying to make some changes in my career path and in my life in general, I’ve already gained some big insights–those “aha!” moments–and am starting to feel some of the blocks begin to unblock, and some of the murky areas (what DO I want in my life, anyway?) become clearer. Alan is a positive force–warm, funny, down-to-earth, insightful, creative, open, and encouraging– and I believe that he has the skills and tools to help his clients attain more fulfilling, fruitful, and satisfying lives. I look forward to more positive changes to come!” -Book Editor
