Alun has worked in the pharmaceutical industry as a statistician for over 30 years and four years ago qualified as a coach through the Academy of Executive Coaching in 2020, gaining the International Coaching Federation credential of Associate Certified Coach in 2023.

He believes that coaching is for everyone and that anyone can benefit from a good coach.

What you’ll hear about:

• Leaders as coaches
• Creating space for people to think
• You don’t have to know all the answers
• Find people around you to practise with
• The art of not interrupting people 
• The beauty of silence 
• Finding the people who help you show up authentically
• Don’t become the advice monster
• Stay curious and ask questions
• The confusion around the word “coach” and whether it’s directive or indirective
• Who am I?
