Small Group Coaching: From Fear to Love to Vision to Action
You have come to visit this page for a reason. Perhaps you are in a transition, or ready to take a next big step. Or perhaps you sense that a bigger purpose is calling you now. Maybe you have a vision or a dream that won’t let go of you.
Whatever it is, you want to make a difference. Something is stirring inside. You know that it’s time. Now.
Making a difference begins with how you “show up” to your life and leadership — your personal presence — and how you move from presence into action. Being a “Transformational Presence” means constantly expanding how you think, how you look at things, and how you meet opportunities and challenges. It means continually growing and evolving in your understanding and awareness of how the world works as energy in motion. It means being creative, adaptive, and resilient. It means constantly stretching your worldview and learning forward.
Work with Alan Seale
Through coaching and mentoring with Alan, you will discover and develop your own authentic and powerful personal presence, and turn your presence into breakthrough, action, and results. Together with Alan, you will ask questions and find answers. You will transform beliefs, thought patterns, and perspectives that no longer serve you and forge new ones that do. You will find ways to meet your challenges with curiosity and openness and discover the opportunities that are hidden within them. And you will move forward on the path of leadership and service you feel called to walk.
You are here for a reason. You have gifts to bring to the world. The time is now. The world can’t afford for you to wait any longer.

Alan’s coaching cuts right to the essence of what’s really going on. The elegance of his skill combined with his ability to improvise in the moment creates profound effects, whether he is coaching one-on-one or in a group. He is extremely intuitive and willing to take risks for his clients. His unique approach has allowed me to trust my own inner knowing and to follow it. Working with Alan has helped me take my work as a coach to a higher level where my impact is greater, whether I’m working with individuals, groups, or in retreats. Our work together has created opportunities that I would not have imagined. I am so grateful.

Jakob Algreen-Ussing (Denmark)
When I first started working with Alan, I had been a business entrepreneur for 10 years and sold several businesses. It was an open moment for me and I wanted to be clearer on how I would manifest the next chapter of my life as a visionary leader.
Alan has an extraordinary gift of listening way beyond your words and helping you see the big picture, the core issues, and how everything is interconnected. He understands how to work with “the field” as energy, something I already knew a lot about, yet he helped me go even further.
Our conversations were a co-creative experience. He helped me find the right structures and approaches to create “quantum businesses” and provided invaluable coaching support as I created Akasha Ventures and wrote my first book, The Quantum Company. Perhaps most importantly, Alan helped me grow in personal presence—how I show up as an entrepreneur and leader in the most authentic, dynamic, and impactful way. I am grateful for the work we have done together.

John O’Neill (USA)
I initially came to Alan because I was stuck in a frustrating place in my career and had not been able to move forward. With Alan, I initially learned that I had the ability to choose who I am BEING in any situation regardless of my circumstances. As my focus shifted from my frustrating circumstances to who I choose to BE in these situations, things started to change quickly in my work. Job opportunities I had long wished for started appearing and suddenly I was working on a whole new level.
Since those initial changes took place, my work with Alan has deepened to a greater focus on the beauty, constancy and unlimited potential of my soul. He has helped me open doors that I never dreamed possible. I am amazed and excited to watch my career and life get better and better as my life becomes more and more a reflection of my being.

The Reverend Amy Gopp (USA)
The term “coach” is a misleading one when describing Alan Seale. Working with Alan feels less like coaching and more like an invitation. Alan is invitational, calling you to awareness. His coaching style is a gentle beckoning for you to come back home to yourself, to your true essence.
Alan continually reminds me to pay attention to what is emerging, and to partner with that energy and possibility. Having claimed my own soul mission, accompanied by Alan, he has also offered me a different set of lenses through which to see the world and envision new ways of creating spaces for people to connect and love.
Working with him leads me to take my place on the center stage of my own life. Our journey together has guided me to embrace that big stage and to show up fully and wholeheartedly.

Suzanne O’Doherty (Belgium)
On the last day of the Transformational Presence Leadership and Coach Training in Belgium in 2013, I knew that I wanted to be coached by Alan. We have had a series of coaching sessions over a period of 18 months. Alan has guided and coached me in two areas: firstly, to recognize for myself my gifts to the world; and secondly, to gain serenity and courage as I managed the closure of a business site.
What I love about Alan’s work is the way he enables you to focus from different perspectives. He intuitively knows when you are at a breakthrough moment and supports you to move forward. One of the most incredible coaching sessions we had was on a painting I had created called “Windows on Change.” Alan coached me throughout the whole session by simply asking me questions reflecting on the energy of this painting and the messages it had for me. The painting and the energy of this session accompanied me on my own journey of change through the closure of the business site. It was extremely powerful.
As a result of this coaching journey, I no longer systematically “normalize” my capabilities. I am aware of my gifts and I use them. I went through the journey of change choosing how I wanted to be and knowing why I was doing the project. This has resulted in much more serenity for me as I now move on to the next chapter of my life and work.

Connie Milligan (USA)
A year and a half ago, I was searching. I wanted my career to match my values. With over thirty years of experience as a clinician and corporate director in mental health, I no longer believed that the medical model’s focus on negative symptoms was helping people. I read Alan’s books and attended his TPLC training, and I knew I was on the right path. Now, after a year of coaching with Alan, I have launched a new career. He helped me do the inside work of stepping into the “energy of my own potential,” unblock my resistance, and move past my fear to step out of the corporate mental health world. I have reconnected with my strengths and passion and now work on my own terms. He can help you, too!

Alan Seale taught me to listen to the voice of my heart, and how to actively involve it in my life and in my work. Because of this, I feel more authentic, warmer and more powerful, and my work is so much more an expression of who I want to be on a deeper level and what I wish to do. The work results themselves also have more impact and are more sustainable.

Jane Marquardt (USA)
I first met Alan in 2006 at one of his Soul Mission, Life Vision workshops. I recall telling him and the rest of the participants that I don’t really do these kinds of things and was only there because Tami, my spouse, signed us up. However, at the time, I was faced with trying to figure out how to get out of 30-year law practice, so I was “reluctantly” willing to try out Alan’s workshop. I knew I wanted a change in my life, but was encountering lots of outer and inner voices telling me, “Wait—you can’t leave—you’re good at what you do—people depend on you.” Alan’s exercises and steady way of asking, “What wants to happen here?” led me through an orderly transition of my law practice to my younger and very talented law partner.
That was a great first step, but after about four months of “blissful retirement,” I realized that I was only 55 years old, in excellent health, and didn’t want to be retired. I continued coaching with Alan about “what next” and ended up entering the family business focused on education and training. Not only did I get to experience the joy of working with my father during the last years of his life, I also got to work with the very gifted CEO (my brother). I continue to enjoy working in the family business. I find that periodic phone sessions with Alan are an excellent way for me to sort out all the “stuff” on my plate and figure out which activities are really mine to do, as well as which “OMG—I should have done this yesterday” items are really things to let go of so that my energies can be used in ways that truly utilize my unique abilities.

Working with Alan as my coach has led to new ways of understanding, living, and working. The way that I work has transformed from thinking and re-thinking every step to now sensing the right solution. I am no much more aligned within myself, which allows me to see my next steps. I may not see the whole path, but I always find the next few steps. I have stopped thinking and re-thinking and now trust my intuition and wisdom. As a result, my life and work have become easier.
