About Alana

Her ability to listen deeply, her ease with clients, and her diverse business perspective create strong GTD coaching connections. She is at home in the virtual environment, positively impacting clients’ lives with enthusiasm and creative engagement techniques. She takes time to understand her clients’ challenges and responds with practical strategies that apply in real-world settings. As one GTD coaching client shared, “Alana’s passion is contagious – she listens, reflects back and brings empathy to her work. After our time together, I still feel like I’m walking on air!”

Prior to focusing on coaching, Alana built a distinguished career at a Fortune 100 company spanning client engagement, consumer marketing, and corporate HR. Notably, she received the company’s highest “Officer’s Award” for her leadership during a major organizational transition. Today, Alana draws on more than 10 years in people management roles, along with her experience as an executive and GTD coach, to support clients across industries. Her GTD coaching clients span technology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, manufacturing, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, from large-scale corporations to smaller educational institutions and mission-driven teams.

On a personal level, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is central to Alana’s mission. Her husband and children are at the center of her world. An avid traveler and adventure seeker, Alana has slept on the Great Wall of China, witnessed the Northern Lights in Finland, and volunteered in post-tsunami recovery efforts in Thailand in 2005. These experiences have shaped her perspective on diversity, resilience, and adaptability—lessons she brings into her GTD coaching practice every day. A dual citizen, Alana is proud to be both American and Australian.
