Testimonials
Coaching/consulting
"It has been a joy to work with Alain. He is one of the few people I’ve met who can “speak” Wall
Street and integrate spirituality in the same discussion.
As a business coach, he constantly challenges me, first to understand and then, to look beyond
the numbers, recognizing that working with people and doing the “right thing” is a much larger
equation.  
I would highly recommend Alain to any business manager who wishes to work towards becoming
conscious, defining a clear vision and gaining an understanding of their purpose."
C. D., President, family business company, Ohio
 
In looking back on my recent experience with Alain, I realize now that I have been fortunate to
receive Alain’s grace and guidance.  I had been lacking experience in my position, I had been
overwhelmed by the amount of work at hand, and I was unclear of how to relate to my new
boss.  Alain introduced me to a level of awareness for which I had not been operating with and
helped me to understand where and how I should be applying myself.  In this process, Alain was
able to provide insight into the changing and challenging business landscape.  I now have more
confidence as I grow in my role and believe both my company and I have benefited greatly.  For
this I am grateful to Alain.  I would recommend Alain to any company in need of CFO coaching.“

“An indicator for the success of [your] coaching me might be the result of the recent workshop
we had [with our division]. Our facilitators said that our group had the best results in teamwork
they had ever seen in the [World] Bank.  Many thanks again, to you Scott.”
H. Dirk Koehler, Publisher, Office of the Publisher, The World Bank
 
“Your consulting with the management staff was just superb.  You sorted out the myriad of
symptoms, identified the real problems and helped us find solutions to them.  I don’t think we
would be able to implement [our objectives] without your assistance.”
David Loebach, Cincinnati Lab, OSHA, U.S. Dept. of Labor
 
“Your range of experience is invaluable to the airport community, and all of the feedback from the
program participants was positive in the extreme.  Now we know why the [management] at
Baltimore-Washington International Airport hold you in such high regard.”
Jeff Lehman Chairman, Marketing/Communications Committee, Airport Operators Council

“[Your consulting support to enhancing our recruiting] program has been extremely valuable in
moving Yorktowne toward our goal of creating top performance with a top team.  I will be
following through with conversations about taking [it] to all the schools in the Fischer Educational
System.  I will be endorsing your services with our corporate staff and with individual directors
throughout the U.S.  Thanks again.”

Facilitation of Strategy Planning Sessions
"Business Advisors kept participants focused on time and issues, which was important to
achieving meaningful results."
"Without Business Advisors, the personality differences and differences in philosophy among the
group would have loomed larger-- outcomes could not have been accomplished."

"Business Advisors allowed us to take the time to cover the territory we needed to cover, and,
kept us focused to meet our end objective."
 
"Business Advisors had a good presence, elicited input and sought to synthesize information on
the fly."
Members of not-for-profit academic association, Connecticut
 
“Your organization, guidance, and leadership during our [director’s retreat] were most helpful
and fruitful, and I believe from it we will get a terrific working process of formulating strategic
plans.  Thanks for a job well done.”
Douglas Monroe, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Rappahannock (VA) General Hospital
