What people are saying.
I am a successful designer and illustrator. Before working with Alex I wouldn’t have said that.
I was at a point in my career where I felt I wasn’t moving forward, I wasn’t learning anything new and this was being reflected in my work.
Something had to change to get me reinvigorated again. I have known Alex since working together in the architectural industry and also through University. He is a man of imposing talents and I respect him greatly. Consequently, I felt very comfortable in Alex being my Life Coach. Very quickly upon working with Alex I could see how I was subconsciously framing my thoughts negatively which was having an impact in all aspects of my life.
He taught me how to reframe my thoughts, to think more positively and to open my thinking to a wider range of possibilities. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex as a Life Coach. He has the ability to get to the core of the issue and unplug creative restraints. I now feel a surge of creativity and enthusiasm in all aspects of my life that I haven’t experienced in many years. If questioning the cost effectiveness of Alex as a Life Coach, ask yourself what value you place on a feeling of success and happiness? It’s a small price to pay for such a return.
I have worked with Alex and do recommend him as a coach. Alex is very professional, thorough, yet very personable. I really enjoyed the coaching process with him. Alex has helped me to identify what are the primary drives in my professional life and what stops me from getting any further.
Coaching sessions allowed me to bring more awareness to my professional communication, set new goals and strategies to achieve those. Therefore, I started making feasible changes in my career already. Thank you, Alex!!!

Through our work together as design colleagues, I knew Alex to be both compassionate and insightful, so I didn’t hesitate to sign him up as my life coach. Our sessions were productive and joyful, Alex’s enthusiasm was infectious.
He really helped me stay positive. I found Alex to be intuitive to my needs, choosing ways of working that I responded to well. The change I wanted came fairly effortlessly under Alex’s expert guidance and my commitment to myself.

Working with Alex really helped me gain direction and clarity in both my personal and professional lives. He was amazing at holding non-judgemental space for me to really dig deep and find my own answers.
He provided me with excellent tools so I could continue with the great process. I can't recommend him enough, he truly helped me to change my life.

Alex is an exceptional professional, as my coach he guided me towards my goal, he possesses knowledge and understanding. I have changed my career and achieved my goal with clarity, and I am now moving toward my next step, thanks to Alex's work and support. I definitely recommend Alex as a coach.

"I could not be more grateful to Alejandro Cohn for coaching me over the past few weeks and for giving me the clarity, direction and resilience I lacked. When I decided to seek out a life coach, I was very distressed about my choice in career. My thoughts towards making a change were negative and fear based, and I felt ‘stuck’ somewhere I didn’t want to be. For over two years I had rarely gotten more than 4 hours of sleep at night and struggled to get my life in order.
Alejandro’s guidance and encouragement in reframing my view put my mind at ease from Day One. After the first session I went back to sleeping 7-8 hours a night and following his professional coaching over the following weeks, I began delving deeper within myself and seeing things in a new light.
My negative thoughts disappeared, and this made room for new ideas, deeper conversations with other people and uncovering opportunities I had overlooked before. I now feel equipped to deal with possible challenges and decision-making in all areas of my life and am excited to see what is possible with this new-found strength and purpose!"

It was an absolute pleasure working with Alex. His honesty, openness and engaging personality provided a space for me to explore, dig deep and reposition my values and beliefs to strive toward my goals. His unjudgmental approach allowed me to find clarity and focus on the areas of my life that were not meeting my expectations. His guidance allowed me to clear out my own hindrances and to allow myself the headspace to move forward.
His previous experience as a design professional helped considerably as I felt there was true understanding of the issues and topics I was working through. I encourage other design professionals looking to move forward in their career or who are shifting careers to speak with Alex.
The investment represents true value for money as your progress will be a far more enjoyable experience with the clarity of mind and focus that Alex will help you find. The strategies I learnt through the program have allowed me to progress with my goals. As I pass on these strategies to my own children, I can see the real benefit of lessons I wish I learnt in my younger years.
Thank you, Alex, for your amazing efforts. I look forward to continuing and working through additional programs with your guidance.

On Leadership
As a coach Alex provided us with opportunities to obtain key insights, as well as guiding us through an exciting and productive journey. Alex helped us to explore, identify and further develop our 2-year old business identity and core values.
The process included the examination and subsequent alignment of our personal aspirations, beliefs and values with those of our company’s. This reinforced for us as individuals and partners a strong sense of connectedness, coherence and cohesiveness.
We found Alex’s coaching skills and approach provided us with a non-judgemental creative space. During the sessions we were able to momentarily disengage from the daily stresses and pressures, to create our own guiding principles. This process helped us to build up the critical direction and thinking clarity required to grow our business successfully.
Alex prompted us to think and move into areas that we had not yet explored, by inspiring and motivating us to dig deeper, providing us an excellent evolutive process that we will review regularly to support our growth in the future.

As the owner and Director of Vee Design, a Landscape Architectural design practice employing 18 staff, I was seeking leadership training for our senior team members that blended life coaching with leadership education. Alex Cohn worked closely with our leadership team over a period of six weeks. His knowledge and coaching style made it effortless for our staff to connect with Alex on a personal level, offering clear training and techniques that have motivated and inspired them to embrace their leadership journey.
Since undertaking the coaching sessions, I have seen great improvement in the leadership of our senior team and the willingness of our remaining staff to embrace and follow their leadership, in turn strengthened our workplace culture.
We have all gained a lot more than expected from Alex’s leadership and life coaching. I know this is just the beginning of a new chapter in the quality of our collective company culture and the leadership of our senior staff members.
Thank you Alex.

Working with Alex has provided me with new ways to communicate with and motivate those that I work with to achieve better outcomes through more meaningful conversations.
Alex provided insight that allowed me to find answers to my own questions on direction and realise my own capabilities were beyond my initial perception of myself.
Alex challenged me to identify what I really want and the roadblocks (real and perceived) with strategies to overcome them. A lot of what I learnt was how to reframe my internal dialogue and how others communicate, which has led to self-improvement in both professional and personal domains.
As a result, I have identified my areas for growth and a clear direction on how continue to improve, and the future looks full of possibilities.
Bianca P. Office Manager
“Working closely with Alex has been a fantastic experience that has opened my eyes in communication, rapport building and the insights into human behaviour.
Having a clear understanding of these concepts coached by Alex, has strengthened my own capabilities and allowed me to look beyond my initial perception, to make positive real world changes in my career and personal life.
I would highly recommend Alex’s services for self-improvement for anyone who wishes to challenge themselves to become better”

I was fortunate to participate in a six week one-on-one leadership coaching course with Alex. Each week we covered a broad range of topics, all of which were directly relatable to improving leadership skills in the workplace and also becoming a better communicator in everyday life.
Alex was extremely approachable and enjoyable to deal with, while also not being afraid to constructively challenge my thoughts. Alex paid particular attention to past experiences where I had encountered hurdles and gave me the tools and strategies I needed to move forward confidently.
Significant personal changes stemming from my discussions with Alex were guided by his ability to make me view and approach situations though a different lens. This set the framework and path to achieving my goals. I highly recommend Alex as a life coach to accompany you on your journey to achieving your goals.

“Starting my coaching journey with apprehension as to what to expect, I have been pleasantly surprised at the result, owing my thanks to Alex.
His inability to take no for an answer encouraged me to dig a little deeper into understanding what leadership means to me personally, and how I can strengthen my own skills and goals to achieve my own leadership potential. Clear discussions and intent of each module allowed for positive understanding of the techniques being offered and how they in turn all draw together.
I look forward to continuing to apply what I have learnt to not only my work life, but my personal life too, strengthening what I have gained from Alex’s coaching.”
