I am a graduate of Alan Carroll’s “Mindfulness in Action” development program, and I am also a long-standing alumnus of Alan’s presentation and communications curriculum since 1997. Over these past 23 years, Alan has engaged my work force at four separate companies, and the results are consistent and compelling – a complete transformation of unconfident, nervous public speakers and presenters into clear-thinking, memorable and effective communicators.
Clear and concise communications are essential in military operations, and especially for the SOF community, which must keep pace with a ...

The workshop I received from Alan Carroll has drastically changed the way I communicate with others. His week-long workshop was the only training I received that I can say was fun yet extremely beneficial to myself. The materials were easy to read and follow, but the magic was the practical application. I remember having Alan talk and demonstrate how to properly speak to groups, and his charisma and voice grabs your attention. People can effectively communicate deadlines, job tasks, or talk about their day. However, they can’t effectively talk in front of others and Alan breaks it all down ...

Alan Carroll & Associates, LLC has been a pivotal segment of our NS2 Serves program by providing the Advanced Communication Skills Workshop to our Veteran students since 2014.

The ACSW has been proven to help NS2 Serves Veteran students realize they can choose to respond rather than react. They learn how to listen and recreate what is being shared, which helps others feel heard & understood. Additionally, these positive communication techniques help reduce the adverse effects of PTSD, aid in sleeping soundly, and cultivating positive professional and personal relationships.<...

I had an opportunity to participate in Alan Carroll’s Advanced Communication Skills Workshop. Learning how to connect with one person in the audience centered me to unleash the true power of connecting to another. By including techniques like focusing on a centerpoint, the mighty “Power of the Pause,” and breathing exercises prior to and during speaking, I was able to deliver my messages clearly with time to think through answers to questions given to me. Alan’s class is designed to bring out your innate active listening skills. I now have a different mindset when asked to speak at work or ...

What I learned from that short few days course has stuck with me to this day.
Alan brought the best out of myself and my classmates, in many different aspects. We were taught how to meditate and bring peace to oneself, while actively listening. Engaging total strangers with effective communication methods. Making conscious choices rather than reacting was a help for me tremendously in personal relationships, as well. Alan taught everyone in our class to be mindful of all our words and thoughts.

What happened in this class was nothing short of amazing. I keep in touch with all my ...

The training was incredible, and I have already noticed a difference in my confidence to speak in any situation.

Alan and his team give the students a new perspective & experience about reacting vs. responding to life situations they face every day.
This workshop engages students in personal & group coaching to give them actual experiences of mindfulness. It reduces anxiety & stress while building their confidence as they journey down the path of transforming from an unconscious, conditioned, automatic, amateur speaker to a conscious, relaxed, professional mindful speaker.
I highly recommend Alan and his team.
