Hi, I\u2019m Alan<\/strong><\/p>\n

I live and breathe CHALLENGES. \u00a0My entire professional life has been connected to building and designing challenges. \u00a0I’ve built challenges \u2013 personal, physical, mental \u2013for people to win, to work as a team, to push themselves, to grow, to learn and to succeed. It\u2019s always been about\u00a0providing an experience and\u00a0learning\u00a0from it. \u00a0From TV Survivors to C-Level Executives to Steve Austin\u2019s Broken Skull Challenge to Starbucks \u2013 I’ve designed and built challenges and then coached people through them. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a passion to guide others.\u00a0 To guide them to success and achievement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in the 90\u2019s early in my development as a guide\/coach\/consultant I had a wonderful insight. I stumbled on a nugget of wisdom that has guided my path ever since. \u00a0I realized that I was an experiential learner and from this knowledge I developed my Definitive Life Purpose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For months I sat in quiet contemplation and asked myself \u201cWhat am I here to do and what\u2019s my purpose?\u201d After the soul searching and filling of multiple journals I came to this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo provide an opportunity for experiential growth, change and learning for people of all ages and abilities in any way, shape or form it shall take\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the past 25 years I\u2019ve tried to live true to that purpose. \u00a0I haven\u2019t always gotten it right because in my heart I\u2019m an experiential learner and sometimes I need to fail in order to make forward progress. \u00a0Plans and dreams sometimes take more time or work than anticipated, but through it all I\u2019ve always found that I\u2019m closest to my own \u201cBetter\u201d when I stay true to those words.<\/p>\n

When I started adventure trips and wilderness guiding, I remember how much I enjoyed the client\/guide interactions. It was magical.\u00a0 To have the honour of providing opportunities for powerful and life-changing experiences was such a gift to me in my early days.\u00a0 These wilderness experiences shaped my desire to \u201cmake the experiences matter\u201d no matter how hard I had to work to achieve that result.<\/p>\n

I became infatuated with experience and how experiences could be used to shape lives.\u00a0 I started facilitating and speaking to groups in their offices, boardrooms and banquet halls.<\/p>\n

It was in these early days of guiding and corporate training that my curiosity in the art of asking questions was ignited.\u00a0 I believe that \u201cThe quality of questions we ask ourselves dictates the quality of our life\u201d. I started to look at how other leaders, guides, and coaches asked questions.\u00a0 I started thinking about INTENT in the way I designed my opportunities for change.<\/p>\n

25 years later I\u2019ve managed to continue asking questions and creating opportunities where the intent drives the creative. The questions \u201cWhat did we do\u201d, \u201cSo what does it mean\u201d and \u201cNow what do we do with it\u201d continue to shape my life and in my interactions with clients world-wide.<\/p>\n
