Background

My roots were formed in the Northeast, and I extended them across the U.S. After having spent a few years in Seattle and several in Colorado, I settled down in Chicago and married my exceptionally special wife. We now love living in Chicago. Formerly, I was a therapist, and I have a doctorate in clinical psychology; I love the outdoors and I have interests in a variety of sports including skiing, tennis, golf, mountain biking, and sailboarding. The arts, music, philosophy, and spiritual growth play a major part in shaping who I am.

Testimonials

"This is the first time in my life that I feel like I have total clarity around my career and something I can go after and get excited about! It wasn't even close to that when we started. It's funny, but I have more time in my life, even though I'm doing more! Life is fuller and became less frenetic. I'm doing more with less time. I can't believe the changes that have happened in only 3 months!"
--James Kelly, New York, NY

"Al's coaching is one of the main reasons tha I am now a successful independent businessman. The time we spent together helped to raise my awareness about strengths, challenges, and fears that affect my level of success as a professional. And, our discussions were about more than just being aware. There were about deciding who I was going to be and what I was going to do in order to make postive changes. The results I achieved were definitely worth the investment!"
--Mitch Bienvenue, President, Accomplish, Inc.

"Al helped me see the value of letting people contribute more to my life and ways to prioritize myself and my needs!"
--Carmella, Illinois

"I've learned so many things from coaching but perhaps the biggest is that I have the power to change my life. I know this sounds fairly obvious and slightly hokey, but the power of it is undeniable. Al Spicer helps you access that power and make change a natural process that reflects who you are and what is important to you. Before you can make any kind of changes, you need to become aware of what you want. Sometimes that's the hardest part of the journey. Al's warm and insightful presence helps you cultivate that awareness, and once you have it, taking steps and committing to them becomes easy. "
--Jeff Brandt, �Chicago, IL

--Paul Budvitis, General Manager, DriveChicago.Com

"After having had quite a few sessions with Al I would upgrade his title from 'Personal Effectiveness Coach' to 'A Directional Force.'"
--Don Moravick, Design Director, Moravick & Associates

"I found coaching with Al was a rewarding and productive experience. He helped me more clearly define and prioritize my goals, and effectively implement a plan for achieving them."
