I highly recommend having Allan Sicard come and present to your organization on "The Courage to Lead". Allan's passion for true community engagement with our most vulnerable populations shone through. His presentation was very authentic with very raw moments that showed courage to share. It is a great team bonding experience.

Allan gave a talk to our team today on leadership, learning from failure, thriving workplace and psychological safety. He was insightful, humble, authentic and real. A great story teller. The team learned about distributed leadership and the importance of interagency collaboration especially in a crisis. Eugene

Earlier this year Allan agreed to attend and be guest speaker at the NSW State Emergency Service North Eastern Zone Volunteer Commanders conference. During his presentation Allan shared personal anecdotes from his career in crisis management including tales of danger and near disaster which engaged the audience deeply. His presentation included real life examples of his courage to lead in times of adversity and shared strategies for developing high performing teams that foster trust and collaboration. Highly recommend Allan as a key note speaker and thank him for his time given to the volunteer commanders across the North Eastern Zone in sharing his experiences.

I first heard of Allan Siccard through a recommendation of his book - The Courage to Lead, which I was soon engrossed in and could not put down. We had Allan attend our NSW SES Commanders conference earlier this year, to help empower our volunteer leaders to lead, and provide an overview of his many years of leadership experience through high tempo, high risk situations- like those that our volunteers face. Allan was an absolute pleasure to meet and hear him talk about his experiences was inspiring. Thank you Allan

Allan recently completed a fabulous leadership and team cohesion training program to one of my business streams that absolutely hit the mark. Allan took care from start to finish in making sure that the program design and execution met my brief, and the level of engagement and commitment by the team was great – even the homework tasks! I can highly recommend Allan, he is skilled in his areas of expertise, personable and has the ability to make sure all participants have a voice without getting off-point – thanks Allan.

Allan is the most understanding supportive mentor that has the ability to connect with people in a way that encourages and supports them in all styles of leadership. I would highly recommend getting in touch with 3R Consulting.

I first met Allan when I was in the process of establishing a new leadership team and he was recommended as a good person to assist in this process. I initially met individually with him for mentoring and support which proved invaluable. Allan then facilitated a strategic leadership planning session for myself and the new leadership team - providing us with the tools needed for the team to develop. Whilst Allan has a "tell it as it is" approach this is exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone looking for a good mentor, facilitator or strategist.

I worked under Mr Sicard's leadership for a period of time in my life where I was trying to navigate the balance of being a working mother and at a crossroads as to what my next step may be within my career. I enjoyed Allan's enthusiasm and appreciation of his staff and I loved having someone who was supportive and looked for the best in his team and encourages them to be better. Allan encouraged me to take part in a developmental course, and offered to be my mentor through it. This course could not have come at a better time for me. The clarity and direction I received from that course, was more than I expected. The support I received from Allan, who sat down and discussed with me both personal and career goals, was extremely valuable. The conversations we had and what I took out of his approach to things, I still refer to this day in how I approach my working and personal life and I will always be thankful.
