TESTIMONIALS
“
Her coaching is unparalleled - she is hands-on in solving problems and incorporates her consulting into our sessions, creating documents right there on our calls! Alison has an incredible way of taking the cluttered thoughts inside of my head and building compelling visuals to use as tools to help communicate to my board and my team.

MY Strengths Advisor helped develop an intuitive tool (via excel) in response to a complex problem we were trying to solve at our company. Her solution saved us over $200k in waste that we were experiencing yearly.

Alison has become a part of our family here - she is able to build trust, collaborate and integrate with my team, helping to identify where change is needed, what change is needed, and how to get the team on-board for that change. She puts a science to her work where I would never expect it. A consummate professional.

Since the first one, the coaching sessions I had, opened my mind up so much that it has made me dream a new dream. That’s exactly what my life needed - to quit thinking ‘what you’re capable of’ and start thinking ‘what you could be capable of.’
