ALLAN KNIGHT BIOGRAPHY

Allan Knight is a truly unique person with an extremely interesting and compelling background. He is a former Zen Monk who for the last 25 years has been a guide, mentor, and coach helping people to speed up the process of achieving a deep level of inner freedom, and inner confidence along with the ability to connect effectively with others both professionally and personally. Both his parents died when he was in his teens and he himself came close to death while travelling the world at the age of 22. It was at that time that he had a life-changing experience when he came close to death with a heat stroke while vacationing on the Mediterranean Sea. That was the wake-up call he needed to seek out his more spiritual side.

Within a year of returning home, Allan Knight became a Zen monk for nine years where he discovered a spiritual side he had never known. He now longed to return to the normal world and integrate what he learned into every area of modern life. He returned to university where he obtained his Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology where his thesis was ‘relationships with others is founded on the relationship we have with ourselves. For the last 25 years, Allan Knight has guided and mentored thousands of individuals using his 9-step formula to help speed up people’s growth personally as well as their communication skills. He is the creator of the Zen Zone Mindset training and the Soulmate Revolution. He is the author of Mind Gone Wild – finding freedom within the chaos. As well as A Knight Without Armor – 9 step formula for success in work and life. Allan Knight is a dynamic speaker, engaging and very down-to-earth.

Testimonials

I am astounded by the personal growth I have experienced working with Allan as a coach. Not only have I blasted through issues that were holding me back since childhood, but I have also learned to step into the light and allow myself to be seen, heard and even celebrated. The personal transformation that has taken place within me has been a deeply joyous blessing.

Celeste Avelin

Allan’s coaching sessions were exactly what I needed to focus on in order to achieve the important goals in my life. Allan’s expertise and effectiveness as a Communication Coach was clearly evident in every interaction that I’ve had with him. His motto of empowering ourselves being a foundation of all of our relationships is the one that I found most useful. It is amazing what a change in mindset has brought to my life and I would recommend Allan’s program to anyone who wants to be more confident, bold and effective as a communicator.

Nitin Yyagi

My experience being coached by Allan has been one of the most worthwhile and rewarding challenges in my life to date. He has this rare ability to help you reach deeply into your own inner resources, allowing you to spring forward with wisdom and confidence. I will always treasure my time with him. Thank you, Allan.

Joanne Hollander

I have heard many motivational speakers and received tons of training and coaching. I can categorically say that none have been more effective than Allan Knight. His approach is simple, direct and highly effective. As a result of his coaching, my businesses have soared and even more importantly I am extremely content in my personal and family life.

Rodney Appleton

Allan Knight is an amazing coach and mentor. I feel better every time I speak with him. His energy, passion and enthusiasm are infectious. More importantly, his wisdom is profound and his teaching methods are practical and effective. He has not only helped me get through some tough times in my life but has significantly contributed to my bookkeeping business. I have also recommended Allan to many of clients who have experienced record sales after hiring him. I highly recommend Allan’s program to anyone who is serious about taking their life and business to the next level!

Michelle Pereira

The most valuable thing I gained from working with Allan was the importance of cultivating my relationship with myself first – what Allan calls your inner soulmate. It was only as I began to obtain inner peace that I was able to effectively pursue relationships outside myself with the ease I had always desired.
