powered by TidyHQAbout Al
Greetings! I am Allan 'Big Al' Connolly, a versatile Community Wellbeing and Development Consultant/Advisor/Mentor, and an inspiring Motivational Speaker. With a journey rooted in both triumph and tribulation, I bring a wealth of lived experience, having transitioned from experiencing unforeseen homelessness to championing community wellbeing. Originally hailing from the UK, in 1992, like so many other Brits, I embarked on the journey to Western Australia, driven by the aspiration to live the quintessential Great Australian Dream.
Presently, I am in pursuit of collaborations with businesses and organisations poised to effect transformative change. Equipped with adeptness and fervor, I offer my services as a Consultant/Advisor/Mentor, adept at steering medium to large-scale projects or spearheading smaller initiatives. My forte lies in forging symbiotic relationships with boards, directors, and management teams to devise and execute community and economic development programs. These programs are tailored to address Community Wellbeing and especially critical issues such as homelessness, poverty, and social isolation.
