Personal Details

Bio

For over three decades, Alan Cohen has worked with business leaders, as an executive coach, senior marketing professional and human resources consultant. As a sought-after speaker, author, leadership instructor and executive coach, he has helped and inspired senior level executives and teams to become more connected to their lives and business goals, resulting in greater performance, and highly improved business results.

During that time, Alan discovered an innate ability to transform already-successful executives into breakthrough leaders. This passion inspired him to make the leap into Executive Coaching, enabling him to train, speak, and coach inside some of the world’s top organizations. Alan’s work today inspires leader to harness the power of communication to achieve exemplary results and meaningful connection.

As an author, Alan drew upon his success in Public Relations to pen his first book, “Those Difficult Talks for PR Pros.” Widely praised by industry professionals, it became a valued resource. As an Executive Coach, he discovered a universal need for a better understanding of the connection between communication and authentic leadership; his next book, “The Connection Challenge™: How Executives Create Power and Possibility in the Age of Distraction,” invites executives to shatter the boundaries of conventional thinking — while revealing the path to ultimate success.

Alan was the head of the publicity team that launched the Harry Potter book series in the United States.
