David Alison: Taking A Leap of Faith with Change & Transformation.
On a path to becoming a rising star in the world of Transformational Coaching.
David Alison is a Master of Transformation & Change. After leaving school at 15 with no significant qualifications and being told by his first Manager that he would never make it in Management, David made it his mission to learn and embrace the skills required to deal with anything that life could throw at him. He went onto achieve a Master's degree in his specialist area of Supply Chain Management & Logistics at the renowned Cranfield University Business School in the UK. In 2015 David secured a board-level position in a Fortune 500 company based in Europe with international responsibility of 5 functional areas. This did not bring David the fulfillment he was expecting and at the age of 55 he made the brave decision to make a complete career change and become a Transformational coach.
David believes that life is a gift. He talks about the experiences we have in life and how they mold us into the man or woman we are today. Everything we have gone through in our life, the tears, the laughter, the loss, the pain and the pleasure have written the story of our life so far and the gift is that we are still alive. He also believes that it is the meaning we give to the “story” so far that stops us from enjoying or opens us to the possibilities of having a life of fulfillment.
David encourages us to stop for a moment and remind ourselves that our individual presence here on earth is actually a miracle. As the rest of our life is in front of us we have the beautiful opportunity to create our own future, to write the remaining chapters. When asked deeper on this, David has some questions for consideration. Who is holding the pen or keyboard to write the rest of your life story? If it is not you, then what needs to happen for it to be you? How would you like the story of your life to read in the final chapters? He added when you are no longer alive, people forget what you said or did, however, they won’t ever forget how you made them feel. Davids is passionate about sharing the message to as many people as possible, that life is for living and that it can bring fulfillment when you do what you love.
When asked about what piece of advice that he can provide to individuals who want to follow a path to a more fulfilling life he says, “ Don’t be pushed by your fears, be led by your dreams”. Get a Coach and/or Mentor who has done the work, can guide and support you to the success you are looking for. David attributes listening to the work of Tony Robbins as the catalyst for him to transform his life and make a complete lifestyle change five years ago. Also, more recently his mentor in Scotland Ali Campbell who gave his biggest speaking opportunity in 2019.
David became a Certified ICF ACTP Level Coach in 2017, then he applied and secured a contract to provide coaching service to one of the world’s largest Personal Development companies. In 3 years as a Master Coach and Business Trainer, he completed more than 4200 client sessions in his Coaching and Therapy Business. He is currently working to develop a Non Profit organization providing Coaching, Therapy and Counselling service to homeless people in Scotland which help them take steps forward to rehabilitation.
David has a core set of principles in the transformation journey for those looking to make serious changes in their personal or professional life. Identify your core beliefs in life.
What beliefs are holding you back?
What beliefs do you need to have the life you want?
Who do you need to be to have the life you want?
What will be your default emotions?
Create your success habits and routines and have the right people around you. Connect within and design a future that lights you up. And lastly, create a plan on how to get there, identify and take necessary actions to get the outcome that you want to achieve.
