Biography

Motivational Speaker - Willie Allan

An accomplished After Dinner Speaker, Willie Allan, uses humour with great effect, not just to amuse and entertain his audience, but to encourage them, in a thought provoking way, to look at their own skills, as effective communicators.

As a School Teacher in the east of Fife, Willie Allen has drawn a considerable amount of source material from his experience of working with young people.

He describes his technique and delivery style as the “disruption of expectation”, designed to stimulate fresh ideas and viewpoints amongst the audience. Effective communication lies at the heart of his presentations. His anecdotes, whether true or apocryphal, focus on the need for communication techniques to be used in the business world.

Through a deep understanding of the needs and demands of his pupils and the working relationships that must be established for effective learning, Willie explains the benefits that a sympathetic, client centred approach will deliver. He suggests a number of techniques that can be used to develop people’s natural strengths and achieve positive results.

A keen sportsman, Willie played rugby with Dunfermline Rugby Club, until serious injury forced him to give up the game. He has since concentrated his efforts in coaching.

His main influences have been his father and grandfather – both miners - and his mother, who owns a rather quaint cocktail bar at the centre of Dunfermline called The Bruce Tavern, named after Robert the Bruce. “The Bruce” has proved to be a rich source of material!
