I never met Alan, studying remotely, though having spent hours listening to him I did feel like in some ways I knew him, and I was extremely sad to hear of his death.
I greatly admired his passion and enthusiasm for the teaching topics and the way he would always bring it home to real life situations.
Some anecdotes, I passed the CCA exam in November 2019, 6 weeks after my youngest was born. We found that Alan’s audio bursts were quite soothing for the baby.
I told Alan this, his response:
“After she learns to walk, enter her for ICSA – it will be buried in her subconscious and we are talking prizes!!.”
After November 2020 Strategy and Finance exams I was complaining again. His advice this time:
"Stop thinking about it and focus on coping with lockdown, Christmas, family and friends!.... So this is your granddad talking: focus on the new few weeks and enjoying yourself – you owe this to friends and family. Study can come later."
Thank you Alan for your perspective, the world is a poorer place without you.
