“I thought I had ‘graduated’ when I completed my MBA at Stanford.”

I decided before returning to Romania to study at ALCN to add a coaching certification. This program reminded me we are all one of a kind, the human kind. I immediately launched my business fully committed to my vision. Twelve months and 400 trainees later, I was happy to say this was one of the best things I ever did.

“The self-awareness and tools provided by ALCN have been life-changing.”

I was working in Leadership and Employee Development for a fortune 500 company when my mom was given a year to live. I knew I needed to pivot in order to have more flexibility. I reflected on what I felt most called to do and that was to help others thrive in their personal and professional lives.

CARMEN ACTON

“This training taught me that when we are listening deeply to other people and creating space for them to listen inward, we can touch their lives at the very core.”

I knew quite a bit about NLP, but didn’t know how to coach, even though I had already attended an earlier coach training program. Under Helens mentoring in China I developed the confidence and the skills to help others transform.

JANE HOWARD

FOUNDER CULTURE EFFECT & JANE HOWARD COACHING

SAN FRANCISCO, USA

In 2023, Natalie developed and launched a leadership program called “The Nourished Leader”, empowered by seeds planted through ALCN.

The program is aimed at senior leaders in sustainability, DEI, government, and non-profit organizations whose long-term contribution and commitment to ‘the cause’ requires them to be able to perform at their best. For leaders who understand that if they don’t perform, the people, the organization, and the community can experience negative outcomes.

This vision was born during the coaching program where the exercises taught and practiced led to the revelation of the next level impact needed for change makers. It was through the program that Natalie evolved from being a force for good — to a force for change.

Before the training, Yaprak had made the decision to leave her 20-year corporate job and establish her coaching business in the United States, but she was unsure of how to make that transition.

Six months after completing the training, Yaprak had successfully quit her corporate job and established her coaching business in Florida. The training provided her with powerful tools, including peer coaching, mentoring, and visualization exercises, that helped her to make her vision a reality. Yaprak has since used these techniques to help more than a hundred clients, and she is proud of the impact she has made.

In addition to the success of her business, Yaprak has also achieved a work-life balance that allows her to sail on the west coast of Turkey and enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean while still running her business remotely- a dream she had while in coach training.

Thanks to the neuroscience-based coaching services provided by Patrick’s business, the company is now making a significant impact in various spheres of business across Africa, including government, banks, industrial corporations, and other corporations.

The coaching framework and tools that Patrick learned through ALCN have proven transformative, enabling the business to achieve widespread success and touch many different industries in the region.

Judy now runs a start-up that aims to make longevity more accessible to everyone. The skills she learnt have been instrumental in guiding her team and stakeholders towards success.

I actively use the coaching skills to communicate effectively, focus efforts, and create an environment that values empathy and transparency.

As a result, the team has been able to navigate change and uncertainty with ease, achieving better business results than we ever thought possible. Judy says without a doubt, taking the ALCN course was one of the best decisions of her life that has transformed her life and career.

The Modern Boss, an online school and empowerment center that has transformed the lives of countless mom entrepreneurs worldwide.

Through her unwavering dedication and commitment, Jenny is inspiring mom entrepreneurs to trust themselves, own their uniqueness as she empowers and motivates women to break through barriers and achieve their highest potential.

Jason realized the importance of making a positive impact on others through his work and a newfound appreciation for the impact he could have with all that he had learnt and how important this truly was to his own happiness and fulfillment.

As a result, Jason has positioned himself as both a builder and coach, utilizing his talent for cultivating efficient, effective, and productive business practices and enabling the growth of employer’s most valuable asset – their people. And as we all know there has never been a more important time for leaders to have these skills.

When I started my own coaching practice I focused on teaching people HOW to ask for what they want, which includes ending self sabotage.

I’ve created unbelievable, fast and long term results in their confidence, true embodiment of empowerment and influential communication skills because my courses and coaching use the coaching, NLP and somatic practices.

That was five years ago, Carmen’s Mom is still around and has been loved and supported in her last chapter.

Carmen received her ACC in Jan of 2019 and PCC in July of that year and is in the process of attaining her MCC credential.
