GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY
SPEAKING
Alan’s current speaking activities include keynote speeches at large conferences, association meetings, and corporate events; and fulfilling requests to speak about his book: THE CONNECTION CHALLENGE®: HOW EXECUTIVES CREATE POWER and POSSIBILITY in the AGE of DISTRACTION
Connecting with any group brings the conversation to a whole new level. Although the main part of any speaker engagement is lecture, it is essential to challenge and engage people into the conversation directly in a large or small group. I will help individuals to navigate their own stories within the larger group. Key speaking topics focus on leadership and connection.
Which topics speak to yoU and your organization?
Taking the connection challenge
The Seven Levels of connection energy
how to connect in a disconnected world
The connection killers
These speaking engagements can be customized or adapted as needed
See my workshop and seminars descriptions for more details on how I approach some of these topics

As the ambassador of my company’s Diversity and Inclusion Team, I was tasked with finding a speaker to inspire our sales team in our current environment, while at the same time encapsulating the celebration of the LGBTQ community during Pride month. I was fortunate to come across Alan Samuel Cohen. Alan made a seamless connection with current events (Covid-19, Black Lives Matter Movement and the celebration of Diversity) to his experience, making his talk very relevant to our team. If you want to inspire, encourage and engage your team during this challenging time, I would highly recommend Alan.

He’s committed to helping professionals and entrepreneurs leverage their social networks as early in their careers as possible, and dedicated to helping them become successful.

As part of our Diversity and Inclusion speaker series, Ipsen hosted Alan to speak to the power of a shared purpose in navigating through the most chaotic times in business and in life. Alan’s talk provided examples where professionals, including first responders and his husband who runs an emergency room in a NYC hospital, have been able to perform the impossible through a sense of shared purpose. Our attendees absolutely loved Alan’s conversational tone and it was the perfect message to be delivered during LGBTQ+ pride month and Covid-19. He is one of those presenters attendees just love to listen to!

Alan presented the topic of Emotional Intelligence for Leaders and Teams to our special interest group within the Society for Human Resources Management. Alan was highly engaging, informative, and entertaining. He is a great speaker and a pleasure to collaborate with. Alan knows how to create a warm, inspiring, and interactive setting for a talk. The audience left with valuable knowledge on the topic of Emotional Intelligence. I highly recommend him to speak at your next event.

We hired Alan Cohen as one of our speakers for a breakout session and he spoke about “Turning Client Connection Killers into Connection Thrillers,” from his book, The Connection Challenge, and the audience loved it. We got raving reviews and a 96% response on the conference… Alan’s session certainly helped achieve that. I would recommend hiring Alan Cohen for your next event.
