Allan Mackintosh is a Training and Development Professional with over 23 years of experience in industry. The years he spent in the pharmaceutical industry have given him experience as a sales executive, sales manager, sales coach and trainer. He latterly spent 6 years working as a Manager/Development Coach with GlaxoWellcome and GlaxoSmithKline, before branching out to form his own management coaching business in 2001. His last industry role involved coaching top-flight sales executives, first-line and senior managers, and providing support to enable them to identify and achieve their business objectives. Particular emphasis was placed on supporting new managers who had been promoted to management from the sales function.
In May 2001, Allan founded Performance Management Coaching Scotland, to promote the skill of coaching in management, and to enable and support managers to become great coaches in the workplace. Since starting Performance Management Coaching, Allan has steadily grown ‘The Coaching Manager’ brand and it now covers a book and three unique coaching models, in addition to an e-zine, e-book and several structured courses.
