Satisfied Customers who decided to make a difference in their own life and in the lives of others
I am a business executive with 80 staff under my leadership. Having a coach is a good way to take time-out, in the endeavour to keep a balanced perspective for myself, in this busy world. It is a pleasure to recommend David Allan to anyone looking for coaching in either personal or professional development.
He has provided me with both these areas of personal and professional coaching for three months now and has greatly assisted me in making my own goals and aspirations more clear and on track. His true professional and confidential approach is most beneficial to any busy person or hardworking executive, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective client.

By having David as my Business Coach, he has frequently assisted me in my work and private life. I look forward to our sessions together as it gives me the opportunity to tell, in confidence, an independent person exactly what I’m doing. I am able to share what I’ve done, and what I plan to do with my goals on a weekly basis.
Being the General Manager of a growing Taxi Business keeps me on my toes. So by having someone on my side, who knows where I’m headed gives me the motivation to achieve what I want from my working career as well as my personal life.
Murray Spence: General Manager
I have no hesitation in commending David and his coaching techniques. I had the privilege of being coached by David over a number of months. Even after twenty-five years in a management role, David was able to reveal areas to work on.
I found the module on time Management extremely useful and very helpful. David was both non-threatening and supportive in his approach. He was particularly effective in the interpersonal skill of active listening. I was able to make full use of David's teaching in my role as a Manager, thereby assisting me to work more effectively with my fellow workers.
In my personal life, I was also able to apply the principles learned to assist me with better Time Management.
It is with much pleasure that I commend David Allan in his role as a Business Coach.
Raymond Vassallo, Retail Manager / Woolworthes
I operate the Sunshine Coast branch of a large communications company in Brisbane. Recently the workload has become greater than I could manage. I was becoming tired, run down, and generally feeling totally overwhelmed. With the help of Advanced Lifestyle Development I have been able to take the focus off the mountain that was before me and break it down into small manageable tasks. This gave me a great sense of achievement and I could finally see the light at end of the tunnel. David has helped me take control of my life and my job and has taught me how to not let them control me.

Hi my name is Liz. I've been coached by David Allan for the past couple
of years. I have found the experience to be invaluable to me. Personal
Coaching has helped me to set both short and long term goals for my life.
I have found great improvement in my decision making abilities, and much
more clarity about what I want to achieve in my life. Having a life coach
certainly helps you see what the road blocks are in your life and how to
remove them, in order to reach your potential.
Liz Turner
Having Dave as my life coach is like having a friend who believes that I can make changes in my life where I've wanted to, and then encourages me throughout the process. I'm now 2 months into my coaching contract and as I look back, there have been many changes in my life for good.

Another benefit has been Dave's ability to help me clarify what is important to me and keep me focused on these things. Now I feel like I'm more in control of my life, and those around me are benefiting too.
Before going along to see David Allan, I was feeling very disillusioned with my job and life. I knew I was not where I wanted to be, in terms of living a life that is not only fulfilling to me but is also a blessing to this world. This disillusionment was spilling over into all areas of my life. I had lost my spark and the aspirations of a meaningful existence. It takes courage to admit to someone else that your own life is on a downward trend but and it was this first fearful step that has changed my life. Through David's guidance, my life is taking some very exciting turns.

It began by simply telling Dave my passions. What I really wanted to do with my life, brainstorming the possibilities and reaffirming my abilities to achieve my goals. We started setting small goals and achieving them first. It is amazing how one step leads to another! Things began to happen and although my dreams were still in the distance, I knew I was getting closer. Working with another person to achieve a goal and being accountable to them is very powerful !
I am now well and truly on the way to obtaining my dreams. I will be leaving my Job in June and pursuing my chosen career path. This has been very much a calculated risk with definite steps. I am very appreciative to David for starting me on this path.
Live the Dream !
The people we remember from history are those who risked it all, even themselves to follow their dreams. The reason I believe I was depressed about my career path was that I was living someone else's dream....be that the CEO of the company or the initial visionary of the company. I want to conceive my own vision and dreams and follow them. Because this is not only advantageous to me but a great blessing to the world.

Hi my name is Sara O’Brien I asked David to be my mentor and personal development coach, so I could improve and meet my goals that I had previously set for both my work and personal life. Not only did Dave help me meet these goals, he also helped me set new ones with clearly defined action steps to ensure they were achieved in a certain time limit.
Sara Obrien
Dave helped me believe, having been given the right steps, I could achieve anything. This helped me strengthen my self-confidence in order to try new and bigger things.
Dave also taught, and modeled for me, important yet simple things like quality customer service by going the extra mile with encouraging phone calls and inspiring emails. These made a huge difference in keeping me focused on what was important. They empowered me to overcome all obstacles that got in my way throughout the mentoring process. If you are a person who would like to make life changes or any type of changes, Dave can help you step by step reach your full potential.
Thanks, Dave
The mentoring I received from David Allan has been invaluable!! Coaching has helped me break through phobias and overcome negative thought patterns. I also understand myself more deeply as coaching has helped me to probe into my thinking to understand how I operate. Dave has helped me recognize and understand why I feel so driven to achieve trivial things. Then to look beyond these trivial things to form goals based on more important issues. The advice is so relevant, I find myself passing it on to my friends and family.
Debbie Smith
David’s coaching is insightful, honest and upfront. On a practical level, I have been enabled to move to a new place, leave a job I didn't like and find one I did, and confront some issues that I needed to. Internally, my enthusiasm for life has been restored through David’s coaching. It is great to have a space in my life where I can be real and open!
Thank you David!
