Allison has more than 20 years of experience onstage, comfortably connecting with adult and youth audiences from across the country and world.
As a former strategy leader, she knows how to put together a substantive and compelling big picture. And her roots in education and public speaking help her find the heart of the conversation for everyone.
Topics include purpose forward leadership, leading through disruption, permission to thrive, and balancing career and chronic illness.
She also offers subject matter deep dives and skill based events around business strategy design, attracting Tier 1 executive talent, high-ROI professional branding, networking, and flexibility for a changing employment market. Every engagement is scoped collaboratively based on your audience, context, and goals.
Designed for impact
Allison’s keynotes and workshops are designed for audience engagement. She knows that the audiences of today are far different than the ones of even 5 years ago — listening for something new, pulled in many directions, and expecting return on their time even before the intros are over.
Allison delivers CXO level conversations to audiences who can’t commit to months in a classroom. She invites audiences to contribute, challenge, and relate the conversation to their own careers and lives. Her largest audiences have been filled with spirited leaders who challenge each other as much as they have challenged her. She has built a career out of finding exciting ways forward.
Allison feeds off the room and prefers events with an in-person audience, but is comfortable connecting virtually as well.
Whether it’s a light touch facilitation or a full scope keynote or kickoff, your team deserves the best and Allison has learned to only commit to engagements where she knows she can succeed.
