comments from clients & Business associates

Alan McTier

I've known Alan for twenty years and have always been impressed with his professional skills and commitment to clients. In his early years as a business owner, we talked often about his goals and plans. He displayed wisdom and discipline in his approach. Over the years I've referred clients to him and have always been confident that he would exceed their expectations. The feedback I've heard supports that confidence. Alan is good at what he does and he has a great heart for others. I highly recommend him and his services.

Alan is a unique find in the consulting world. He has a great understanding of business practice based on many years of hands on experience working with employees at multiple levels of many different types of organizations. Alan takes the approach of trying to understand the business as well as the leadership team's philosophy prior to offering "help" and in this manner, he is able to build a high level of trust throughout the organization. While working with our team, Alan helped to facilitate training and counseling with multiple employees over an extended period of time while the company was going through rapid growth. This was an important activity to help team members cope with continually changing job requirements and in the process of decision making with limited information. Many of the team members continue to reach out to Alan for advice even after his official commitment to Ceradyne was complete.

I've had the privilege of knowing and working with Alan for over twenty years on various corporate Human Resources related projects. Alan has always been the consummate professional with high integrity, unquestioned honesty
and the ability to speak with candor with all levels of individuals in an organization. His ability to handle detail, manage sensitive issues, work independently with time constraints and provide exceptional client service was always delivered and greatly appreciated. It is without reservation that I give Alan my highest recommendation.

Alan helped me to identify my core skills and competencies, which helped me to focus my efforts in the right places. As a result, I was able to eventually apply for and be accepted into a position in the main area that we identified - employee relations. Now, I have been working in the area of employee/associate relations for the largest employee-owned super market chain in The United States, serving over 70 stores and 5,000 associates. I am truly thankful for the assistance, guidance, and clarity Alan was able to give me in navigating the world of work.
