Testimonials
Owner at Vision Contracting, Bracebridge, Canada
“Working with Alex challenged me to go down a path to be better than I thought I could be.
By shining a light on comments I made, Alex gave me something to focus on and work out meaning for myself.
I consider that a skill in listening and a gift for compassion towards others.”
CEO at Habitat for Humanity SSMA
Sault Ste. Marie, Canada
“Alex facilitated conversations that were open, honest, and respectful. His approach was exactly what I needed.
He challenged my work habits and tested my way of thinking. Alex helped me to develop impactful but simple tactics that are applicable not only to my work, but to my staff and volunteers as well.
This has been transformational to my organization. I feel refreshed and motivated to lead my team to success.
My journey will continue, but as a result of my coaching with Alex, I am that much closer to my goal of becoming a ‘visionary leader.’”
Family-First Entrepreneur,
Germany
“I worked with Alex for 6 months to help me establish an online business as a side hustle, while maintaining balance in my life and enjoying the process.
Through my own interest in self-improvement, I had all the right ideas in my head but I wasn't able to apply these ideas at an emotional level. This meant I was stressed a lot and doubted my plans instead of making progress.
The meaningful conversations and custom reflection exercises with Alex helped me to achieve a higher level of clarity, trust and excitement for achieving my vision of independence and abundance. Together we established and practiced a process that has helped me be more productive and confident and celebrate the many wins along the way.
As part of the process, I have been able to document my vision, purpose, successes and learnings which continue to fuel my growth and enjoyment.”
Executive Coach and Author + Podcaster
Seattle, USA
"Working with Alex was a true pleasure. He creates a very safe, comfortable, inviting and fun space. He's supportive while not shying away from sharing observations about discrepancies he notices.
Alex has a vast array of coaching tools and techniques. I tend to default to linear and pragmatic and Alex was able to open up a whole new side to my thinking - around using some more creative (and even artistic) approaches.
I never thought I'd be one to appreciate those elements, but they have made me feel more well-rounded and equipped to tackle or just view things from different angles. I highly recommend Alex as a coach."

“Alex challenged thought patterns that weren’t helpful to me and remained calm despite my emotions. I needed that.
I improved my head space, was able to find inner confidence and change my frame of reference on work.
This was great - I would recommend it to anyone!”
Project Leader at BCG and Jazz Drummer
Toronto, Canada
“Alex provided insightful guidance and facilitation of my own inner monologue, during a time where I was looking for clarity and intention in my career. He is genuinely curious to get to know you, deeply patient in letting you find your own words, and ever-focused on providing value towards your goal.
I have learned that coaching is akin to personal training – you know it’ll have a positive impact on you, but you’re hesitant to pay for something you think you can figure out yourself via online self-help and ChatGPT.
However, once you try it, you realize it was more efficient and effective to have the guidance of someone who has the mastery to pinpoint specific themes and guide you with deeply insightful questions.
Through my time with Alex, I have set the foundations blocks of what I hope to feel in a fulfilling career, exercises for me re-evaluate where I am, and a habit of sharing progress with my community to welcome new perspectives. Thank you Alex!”
Founder and ex-BCG Principal,

“As the consummate coach, Alex has 2 superpowers: empathy, and ability to problem solve. He brings to bear both of these in his coaching capacity.
Alex has a knack to ask thoughtful questions that cut right to the issues at the core of a situation, that helps bring clarity when it is needed. He guides conversations in a way that helps the people being coached to introspect effectively, and partners closely to find a path forward.
I highly recommend Alex as a professional coach.”
Director Digital Health Engagement at Manulife

“The Leadership Connections group program helped me move from contemplate to action.
The regular cadence of meetings fueled accountability. The impact had from learning from other participants was truly a pleasant (and unexpected) outcome of the program.
Alex is an incredibly skilled and thoughtful coach - such a pleasure to work with and truly helps participants challenge and advance their thinking and approach towards their goal.”
Principal at BCG,
Houston, USA
“I would strongly recommend Alex as a Business/Executive Coach and Facilitator. He helped my direct team of 10 people with both group and 1:1 coaching for several months navigate some challenging situations and was a big factor in elevating our performance as individuals and a team.
Alex seamlessly navigated building strong relationships with people (even virtually) and helped create a safe space for them to share their concerns, present problems, and work through them to find a solution.
He has strong mastery of the coaching methodology and helps guide his clients through various exercises of self-discovery to get to the answers or solutions they need to move forward.
Our team was very thankful to have his support.”
Regional Director at CREO and Rhodes Scholar
Montreal, Canada
“There’s something incredibly powerful about navigating real progress towards your professional and personal goals in a small group setting, thoughtfully curated by Alex.
Peers give you the support you need and opportunity for diverse feedback, all while you learn from their own change journeys throughout the program. 1:1s with Alex in between help you deep dive.
If you’re seeking to achieve a leadership goal and feel challenged by making progress, I’d highly recommend the Leadership Connections program.”
Principal at BCG,

"Alex is an excellent coach who provided me with great support during a career transition.
I especially appreciated our time 1:1, which helped me gain clarity on a variety of topics including performance management, planning and reflections on my own style as a manager.
I always found Alex to be an awesome collaborator, bringing to bear a combination of incisive thinking with empathy that helped me grow and mature."
