Testimonials

Participating in coaching sessions with Alan has proved immensely beneficial to my professional development. I found the sessions to be supportive, yet challenging. I was able to take the tools and skills discussed and deploy them into my work in real time. I am grateful for the accountable working space to understand how to expound on my strengths and to further foster my growth areas.

Director, Advocate Program

I participated in your Dealing with Difficult People program.  As a trainer you were engaging, knowledgeable and shared some great insights. The content from the training was also engaging. I really learned a lot about dealing with difficult people as well as lots about myself and my own behaviors. I really enjoyed the training and would highly recommend it to others.

Training Director for a University

Alan Krieger’s communication workshop for our MPI NENY chapter was one of the best chapter programs I’ve attended all year. Alan tailored the program towards our industry and made it interactive and fun. His explanation of the different communication styles was eye-opening and spot-on! Understanding how people communicate, along with their likes and dislikes is a great tool we can all use at work and at home. What I learned during this program is something that I will forever use from now on. Thank you, Alan, for giving us the opportunity to see how we all communicate differently and how with small subtle changes, we can communicate effectively with just about anyone!

We have worked with Alan Krieger and Krieger Solutions, LLC for four years on a variety of projects. Alan has an outstanding work ethic and is a very responsible person. He has created and delivered excellent training products that address the needs of multiple staff titles at our member hospitals. Participants have found Alan’s programs to be extremely beneficial.
Tim Johnson

Executive Director, Greater New York Hospital Association Foundation

I feel that your training is essential for all supervisors in an ever-changing climate in the workplace. I signed up for your course thinking that you would provide me with the tools to rid our facility of “difficult” people. At the end of the day I realized that our facility is diverse and that is what makes it so special. We are all different but the important task is to get the work done efficiently and still enjoy coming to work. After taking your course, I believe it is possible to achieve both. Thanks

NYS Head Account Clerk

Mr. Krieger’s interactive workshop on time & stress management at the Neighborhood Preservation Coalition of New York State’s Annual Affordable Housing Conference was the perfect plenary session to end our conference. He provided concrete examples of how participants can manage stressful workloads and busy schedules to become happier and more efficient at work. Attendees describe Mr. Krieger as positive, upbeat and very knowledgeable, sentiments which were reflected in the overwhelmingly positive evaluations. Mr. Krieger’s engaging and informative presentation was a perfect addition to our annual conference.

Alan has been an extraordinary source of wisdom and support! Alan has helped me take challenges straight on and to transform my approach. He helped me reorganize our agency to improve performance and bring in added resources. I highly recommend Alan!
Harvey Rosenthal

Executive Director, NY Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services

Alan Krieger assisted our small non-profit organization with strengthening our financial system. We needed someone from the outside, someone seen as a neutral expert to help us see where we needed to go. Alan was able to work collaboratively to develop a more streamlined and effective process. I am very pleased with Alan’s approach. Thank you very very much!!
Jean Burton

Vice President, Scho-Wright Ambulance Service

Krieger Solutions’ time management tools have greatly impacted not only my professional life, but in my personal life as well. With constant emails, deadlines, and never ending to do lists and tasks, his consultation has provided me with an effective and manageable plan to conquer the day. Their action plan has enabled me to accomplish daily goals and my productivity has dramatically increased. I will continue to practice these key takeaways going forward, and I now consider them vital to success.

Hotel Sales Manager

Last month I participated in your conflict resolution workshop. I just wanted to express my thanks for the information I received.

I recently encountered a brief conflict with someone I would normally describe as aggressive. Perhaps this person is an ‘A or T’ personality. In any event, I would normally react by shutting down (recoil). I do not like conversations that are not calm.

In any event, I straightened up my posture, looked them straight on and stated my reasons for the action. Immediately, they recoiled, agreed, laughed, apologized for the interruption, and left. Conflict over.

As I sit here, I’m still in disbelief. I realize this is a baby step but it’s huge for me. I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude. With hope, I believe dealing with conflict will become easier for me.

V. L.

Supervisor, NYS Agency

I engaged Alan to help me navigate some internal conflict in our nonprofit organization, and to provide me with guidance and tools to better direct my Board of Directors.

As a busy professional juggling a Board of Directors and the operations of a fast growing nonprofit, I was hesitant to seek out coaching, adding more to an already too long To Do List. Alan’s method of coaching quickly allayed those fears.

Alan is an excellent listener and understood the dynamics of the challenges I faced. His knowledge and experience with leadership training gave me refreshing insights for effectively guiding my organization and provided practical, specific and actionable solutions for conflict.

Each session was structured to ensure I had specific actions I could complete from one session to the next, and that clear obtainable goals were set. These actions and goals were reviewed at the following session to gauge their success, make adjustments if needed, or making further plans to move forward in meeting my goals.

Alan is a pleasure work with. He is professional, frank, witty and shared his own experiences, both good and bad, to help me become a better, more effective leader.

Laura Langham

Executive Director, Grand Companions Humane Society

I won a free coaching session with Krieger Solutions a couple of months ago and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I went into it thinking what could one session accomplish but was pleasantly surprised. Alan asked all the right questions and was able to pin point areas of importance that I could work on with my staff/co-workers pretty quickly. Alan was professional and made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning so the hour just flew by. I would recommend Krieger Solutions without a second thought.

Excerpts from training participants' written comments (written anonymously)

Alan Krieger has been my executive coach for the past five years. Working with Alan, I have strengthened my skills and developed improved strategies for working with my staff, board, and external constituents. Thanks to Alan’s expertise, I am able to handle business challenges strategically and with confidence.
Diane Russo

Chief Executive Officer, Putnam Family & Community Services, Inc.

Krieger Solutions has provided bookkeeping and consulting services to the Children’s Corner Day Care Center for a number of years. Alan’s personal commitment to seeing us through tough times has made his fees affordable and a great value. Not only do we receive quality bookkeeping and reporting services, but he is available in real time to answer any questions that arise in the fiscal management of our day to day operations.

For example, Alan has provided a review of our annual budget while it is under development by the Board’s Finance Committee. His insight and recommendations have been very valuable to the Board as the Budget is debated before adoption.

As another example, Krieger Solutions was hired to write a Financial Manual for the Center. Alan’s knowledge of the Center’s operations, together with sound internal control recommendations resulted in a quality product that is a useful guide to the management of the Center. The Center has also found the training services offered by the company to be useful and relevant to its mission. In the final analysis though, it is Alan’s personal integrity and commitment to quality service that provide outstanding value.

Former Treasurer Board of Directors, Children's Corner Day Care Center

As a result of the Leadership classes, I have become a better listener.  When a staff member walks into my office, (and I am not in the middle of anything urgent) I give them my undivided attention right then and there, if I am in the middle of something we set up a time to meet within that same hour if at all possible.  I do not interrupt, I focus on understanding and meaning of the conversation. I make listening a priority.   I ask any appropriate questions that I have.

This seems to be working wonderfully as the staff feel like they are cared about and their presence means something  (from what I am told).

Thanks again for this learning opportunity.

Michelle Leonard

Health Center Manager, Hudson Headwaters Health Network

Thank you so much for an outstanding LEADERSHIP training course. As I said to the Commissioner yesterday, this was, if not the best ever training course that I have ever taken in my 28.5 yrs. here, it definitely belongs to the top 3. The course is extremely well thought, designed & structured. The course material is extremely innovative, clear & concise and, above all, it was delivered by 3 extremely dynamic, experienced / seasoned & fascinating to listen to trainers. You guys never lost me once during the course of these 8 days, despite the density of the delivered concepts.
