I help leaders and professionals find Purpose and build Conviction, so you can unlock your true potential and break through to new levels of success, meaning and well-being.
Why do you need a coach?
Have you ever reached a point in your life where you seemingly have it all — a successful career and wonderful family, yet you feel you are missing out, stuck or uncertain.
Missing out
on something meaningful to you
Stuck
living up to someone else’s view of success
Uncertain
of yourself or how to take the next step
Why coach with
Alan Gray?
I’ve been there. With 25 years experience developing leaders and teams in global corporations, I understand the challenges leaders confront on a daily basis.
I see you. I was the successful leader struggling in silence under the weight of meeting other people’s definition of success. Chasing ever bigger roles to feed my sense of self worth, at the expense of being truly present with my family. Trapped by the weight of a large mortgage, and anxious about losing my job, I endlessly wished for retirement.
I discovered there is another way.
I learned how to build the conviction to redesign my life and career around what was important to me. I now have a fulfilling career, financial freedom, quality time with my family, I feel amazing and have the confidence to be authentically me.
Coaching with me will help you build the conviction to lead a life on your terms, establish habits that support sustainable growth, and develop the energy and resilience to navigate through uncertainty.
You will discover how to make high performance, wellbeing and fulfilment feed from each other, and break through what you thought possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines Coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Through active listening, presence and the use of impactful questions, the process of coaching can open the door to untapped potential, imagination, and resourcefulness.
What should I look for in a coach?
Because it is such a personal relationship, you should check that first and foremost that there is a good personal fit and that the coach is appropriately qualified as a coach, ideally certified with the International Coaching Federation.
Your coach should provide you with a coaching agreement which lays out their approach to confidentiality and other key terms of your agreement such as payment terms. I would always recommend also doing some research looking for testimonials, referrals and also assessing more than one coach so you select the coach that is best for you!
Finally, a good coach will have a coach themselves to make sure that they can stand in there shoes that they are inviting you to. If they do not have one, ask the reason why.
How much time do I need to put in to see results?
This all depends on you. The more time and energy you put into achieving your goals the faster you will see results. Coaching is not a quick fix and you have to be prepared to do the work. As your coach I am committed to helping you move the challenges in your way and remain motivated and energised throughout, and beyond our coaching partnership.
In the Springboard Program the recommended minimum time investment is = 2-3 hours per week including 3 hours per month with me and a minimum 6 hours per month on self reflection and roadmap / habit creation.
