Alan Krohn, Ph.D. Alan Krohn is a licensed clinical psychologist and executive coach with decades of experience working with people at all levels of the business community. Alan has a special understanding of the traumatic effects of such organizational shifts as downsizing, demotion, promotion, economic downturns, mergers, takeovers and corporate scandal.  He can help an executive understand how these shocks to his or her life can interfere with effective thinking and leadership as well as be opportunities for future growth. Alan helps executives cope with the effects of workplace crises when they spill over into personal and family life.  He also helps executives and managers recognize and manage times when family traumas such as death, divorce, illness, or difficulties with children effect functioning at work. While Alan's executive coaching is always tailored to the needs of the individual, some common areas of support include: Helping people deal with the tremendous stress of today's workplace; Exploring with an executive or manager areas of self-limitation and self-sabotage; Helping an executive form an objective picture of his or her leadership style, highlighting its assets and limitations; Exploring with an executive some of the roots of his or her ways of operating – the aim always being to help expand thinking range and flexibility; Identifying and correcting unconscious carry-overs of past problematic relationships, from either work or family, onto current work relationships. In all these areas Alan emphasizes understanding the nature of a problem and then constructing an action plan to move forward. Alan's clients regularly experience him as a careful, accepting listener who at the same time can be, when necessary, very direct.  An award-winning teacher, he is known for his clarity.  Working with Alan has the added advantage that everything discussed is completely confidential.  An automobile industry vice president, a university president, a newspaper editor, a trucking company vice president and a dot-com CEO are examples of recent clients. Alan received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and his psychoanalytic training at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute.  He is now on the faculties of both.  Following the 9/11 attacks, Alan received American Red Cross training as a Disaster Mental Health Worker.   Father of two grown children, he is a runner, cyclist, polo player, and hockey player.
