Allen is widely recognized as a creative problem solver with a history of getting to the heart of an issue. His "Mastermind Within" programs have proven to be successful in having entire
management teams and their direct reports actively involved in solving their own problems. His management and “accountability with love” systems are easily implemented and help organizations achieve their growth, profitability and sustainability goals as well as assisting non-profits in achieving their mission objective.
