the following quotes:
“I have had the pleasure of working with Allan Parker over the last 15 years in steering companies to become learning organizations in which the full array of his presentation, knowledge and skill transference capabilities have been utilized and these have left an enduring effect on all those who have participated. More recently we have worked together on a sports team to improve communication, remove mental models and build a shared vision — again with positive results.”

“Allan Parker is a gifted presenter and trainer. The best I have ever experienced. His MasterClass (“Handling Aggression Non-verbally”) at our National Conference was the most highly rated of the 20 sessions. We are excited that Allan is developing a special negotiations and communication two day intensive to be delivered nationwide to our members – senior partners and directors from accounting and law firms.”

“. . . they are events which have a curious combination of theatre, education and self transformation. His approach is to build a base grounded in feelings of spontaneity, openness, warmth and generosity among the participants; he manages this without being contrived or manipulative. He has an excellent understanding of how to design a workshop which has natural rhythm and flow. He is prepared to improvise around a theme, or even to change direction if the mood of the group dictates. He can be humorous, clever, challenging, empathic and serious: His sessions are not for the emotionally squeamish or excessively defensive.”

“Absolutely riveting, professional and invaluable.”
Dr Roger CollinsAustralian Graduate School of Management
“Thank you for a wonderful presentation on Tuesday and for sharing your world and your passion with the group. The feedback in our closing session was exceptional with the request “can we have more!!” At the closing session it was expressed by a number of couples that the process continued for them over the next two days and that they had shared quality time, thoughts and feeling they either hadn’t done so before not at least not for a very long time. A huge success with long lasting impact for many.”

“It’s very hard to summarise just how good these courses are. They are creative, thought provoking, inspiring and most importantly practical and beneficial to use in your business and personal life. The best reference I can give for Allan Parker’s courses is that I would, and do, refer them to all my fellow colleagues in the industry without hesitation. “

“I must say that Allan Parker’s Negotiation and general communications programs have been a valuable tool in the development of groups and individuals with EnergyAustralia. His uncanny ability to receive and send information at all levels across a broad audience has been well received.”

“I just wanted to say thanks for the courses I attended with you. They have been the most rewarding classes overall in my MBA program. I have now decided to go back to Norway, and hopefully get involved in alternative dispute resolution over there.”
Rolf BorresenLa Trobe University, Mebourne
“Allan offers practical tools, useful examples and inspiring experiences to help move participants beyond their expectations. You leave the training room consciously aware of some masterful negotiation tactics but also with an urgency to practise them in business and personal interactions, especially when agreement is the outcome.”
Tahnya Butterfield-GillSource Asia Pacific on The Negotiator’s Toolkit Course
“The Negotiator’s Toolkit training workshop was one of the most valuable two days I have spent away from the office. It is obvious that Allan is a man with widespread experience, razor-edge intellect and a passion for ensuring that a person’s needs are met (the key, I now know, to successful negotiating). No matter what a person’s background, this workshop has a pearl to offer: sift through the sand of notes, new concepts and changing paradigms, and it will be revealed. Allan and his team ensure the course is meticulously planned and yet there is so much about the two days that is spontaneous and inspirational.”
David McGovernWesley Mission on The Negotiator’s Toolkit Course
“Observing Allan Parker teach for me was knowing I was in the presence of a true professional. He is equally adept at both presenting and teaching presentation skills and being in his workshop has vastly added to my own repertoire. To sum up Allan is the presenter’s presenter.” “Allan’s presentations are energised by his style and informative due to his commitment to remaining current with the literature and always relevant with his finger ever present on the pulse of industry. He’s so good at what he does I’ve turned over sections of my own training courses to Allan for the purpose of seeing that his expertise is shared with my audiences. I would recommend his work without reservation.” “I normally think training is worthwhile if I get one practical, useable idea. The Corporate NLP course gave me several in just the first half day, and they just kept on coming.”
