He is the founder and CEO of New Dimensions Consulting Services, a company that specializes in helping businesses, entrepreneurs, and everyday people maximize their talents and leadership by engaging them through innovative mental health initiatives, trainings, and retreats.Allen's book “Self Care: Let's Start the Conversation” is a refreshing conversation on healthy self-care concepts and practices that not only exposes the myths but also provides sound, concise principles, and guidance for those seeking effective strategies for retreating, reflecting, replenishing, and restoring themselves at every level of their lives.Self-Care is a popular buzzword today that often conjures up images of bubble baths. It may seem like a self-indulgent and obvious concept BUT, the truth is, self-care is crucial for health and many people do not actually understand what it is or how to use it.According to Allen, self-care is much more intricate and multifaceted than one may think, and knowing your personal self-care style is key to preventing burnout and improving mental health. As the founder and CEO of New Dimensions Consulting Services, he fights to improve mental health conditions for workers and has seen the significant positive impact of self-care on productivity and profits.
