I have now connected with new career opportunities and industries thanks to Allyn. I highly recommend Allyn Gardner’s career consulting services. He is genuine, kind and professional, and is sincerely interested in the success of all of his clients, an approach sets him apart from the rest

I started working with Allyn as part of an interesting Institute of Career Transitions - MIT program. Throughout the process of working together I found Allyn’s insights and candid feedback to be extremely valuable. As an executive in transition, I valued Allyn’s seasoned expertise based on his experience that spans both corporate talent acquisition and coaching for execs in transition. If you work with Allyn, you will find this dual perspective to be invaluable. Allyn helped me in three key areas. Firstly, he was thoughtful and candid in feedback relating to how an individual can frame and position their value proposition for conversations with senior managers. Secondly, think of your communication process with companies as being about setting a perspective and/or changing and expanding a perspective. Allyn can provide multiple points of view to help ensure you take into account the perspective of the executive with whom you are communicating. It is easy to get lost in your own message versus the message that makes a difference. Lastly, Allyn was a great resource in regard to positioning and approaches for negotiations. No mater how effective one may be in this space, getting the insights of an experienced leader who has been immersed in talent acquisition for years will save you time and help prevent missing subtle nuances or making unintentional mistakes. I would recommend Allyn’s services for executives in transition or those seeking to change jobs or industries

I've known Allyn since 2003 and he's been a terrific resource in executive search, development, and coaching. I've seen him provide a logical, structured approach on providing clear feedback to senior resources, including how to handle difficult conversations. Allyn's approach emphasizes clarity and stresses the importance of active listening, objectivity, and perspective. He provided solid examples of questions that gain insight into an employee’s actions, and strategies to help them set goals and turn perceived weakness into strengths. Above all, Allyn is a true professional and a class act.”
