Alan Rafael Seid
I work as a Breakthrough Coach and a Leadership Coach. I teach workshops and trainings. I facilitate and mediate. You can see the remarkable things people I work with say HERE.
With a small team I run a school called Kalapa, which offers Best Practices for Positive Change Agents — defined as people with two core commitments: (1) personal and professional growth and development; (2) being part of the solution rather than the problem.
You can learn more about Kalapa and our Best Practices for living in harmony within, with others, and with the Earth HERE.
I live on a property where I live in community and practice Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Permaculture Design.
I’ve held a Permaculture Certificate since 1999. I’ve been studying NVC since 1995 and became certified in 2003. You can see a fuller version of my bio HERE.

“Working with Alan has been transformative in a way that I could not have foreseen. I began the work to deal with some blocks and issues around money as I start a new social enterprise, but have found that that was the first step in a much deeper journey into understanding myself and how I see myself in the world.
Alan is a pleasure to work with and combines structure and direction with empathy and kindness in a way that engages the heart and mind to find pathways through professional and personal challenges that build confidence. He delivers all of it with profound listening, warmth, and humor. I recommend him unreservedly.”
