Testimonials and Coaching Highlights

“I had the privilege of working with Alanna for six months through Torch, and it was genuinely transformative for my growth as a leader. When we started, I knew I wanted to sharpen my executive presence and become a more effective people leader, but I wasn’t sure where to focus. She helped me get clear on what makes me unique as a leader, define the boundaries of my leadership style, and actually lean into those strengths rather than trying to sand down the edges. That shift in perspective alone was worth the investment. She also pushed me to grow as a coach to my own direct reports. I came away with practical frameworks for developing talent that I now use every week with my team.”

“Through her [Alanna’s] thoughtful questions and insightful guidance, l’ve learned to lead with greater curiosity, communicate more clearly and consistently across my team, and shift my leadership style toward asking questions and seeking understanding rather than telling. She helped me soften my approach, navigate courageous conversations with more confidence and clarity, and reframe change as a constructive force rather than a disruption. Alanna also emphasized the importance of feedback as a growth tool, helping me integrate insights from peers and coaching into actionable development steps. Her coaching strengthened my accountability, encouraged meaningful commitments after each session, and genuinely elevated the way I mentor and support others.”

“Alanna’s coaching has been truly transformative for me. Her direct style and ability to dive deep into challenges provided me with the clarity and strategies I needed to navigate complex work situations effectively. She doesn’t just offer advice-she brings innovative methods that drive real results. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to tackle difficult professional challenges with confidence. I highly recommend Alanna to anyone looking for a coach who is both insightful and action-oriented.”
