A. Allen Consulting

Leadership & executive coaching

Coaching for leaders making the leap into bigger roles.

I coach leaders navigating the move into broader leadership roles and the demands of executive responsibility — stepping into bigger scope, higher visibility and greater complexity, often for the first time.

Who I coach

Leaders stepping into more.

I partner with corporate and non-profit leaders, emerging leaders, entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders who are taking on:

Bigger scopeLeading larger teams, functions and agendas.
Higher visibilityOperating in front of executives, boards and the broader organization.
Greater complexityNavigating ambiguity, competing priorities and higher stakes.
A particular commitment

I bring particular depth and commitment to coaching women and leaders of color as they move into these roles.

My approach

Strengths-based, evidence-informed.

I help leaders build from what's already working, rather than starting from a deficit lens.

My certifications in Gallup CliftonStrengths, the Hogan Assessments and DiSC give us a well-rounded, evidence-based picture of how you operate under pressure, how you're perceived by others, and where your natural talents can be sharpened into strategic advantage.

Going deeper

I'm also trained in the Narrative Enneagram and Polarity for Human Systems — frameworks that let us go beyond behavior and skill-building into the underlying patterns, motivations and tensions leaders are managing.
