More impact, ethical influence, self-awareness, and better relationships?

Communication plays a critical part in every area of our lives, yet it's broken. 86% of employees today cite lack of effective collaboration and communication as the #1 cause of workplace failure.

70% of global employers state communication as the most desirable skill for new hires. In LinkedIn's Most In-Demand 2024 skills survey, communication remains in the top position yet again.

What's clear is that the communication training delivered today is not wholly hitting the mark.

That's where I come in!

Hi, I'm Alison
LEAD TRAINER
COACH AND MENTOR
CONNECTION EXPERT
WORLD TRAVELLER

I've spent 40 years researching, practicing, training and coaching over 17,000 people to successfully embed skills such as building instant trust, empathy, practical intuition, rapport and personal development.

My proven approach has revolutionised the way my clients communicate and connect whilst increasing their impact, influence, self-awareness, sense of meaning and purpose, and confidence.

THINK OF DEVELOPING THESE CRITICAL SKILLS AS A HOLISTIC PROCESS...

My Courses and Coaching have transformed the way my clients relate to themselves and others.

They don't just master communication and connection - they experience a quantum leap in personal development.

My Courses and Coaching will equip you to navigate our complex, often overstimulating and distracted world, amplifying your results and overall happiness levels in both your personal and professional life.

ABOUT US

As communication experts we use a transformational, proven, integrated approach. We're invested in your growth and results - and committed to continuous improvement and innovation.

ABOUT YOU

You're a leader or coach, innately curious, and pursue purpose, impact and growth. You want to learn how tuning in and connecting can help you lead yourself and your team more holistically.

COURSES AND COACHING

I RUN 'LEADING WITH CONNECTION', A COURSE AND COACHING FOR COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS.

IF YOU'RE A SENIOR LEADER, ASPIRING LEADER, EXEC, COACH, OR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS, THIS IS FOR YOU.
QUESTIONS? REACH OUT.

WORK WITH ME

• You're great on the technical side but your people skills are letting you down, because you've never really been taught how to speak with impact and accurately interpret subtext. Or how to build instant rapport and trust.

• Fractured, unmotivated teams? Be the Leader that enables better cohesion, trust and knowledge-sharing by layering in the skills that drive results; connection, psychological safety, empathy and rapport.

• Want to become a more intuitive, authentic Leader who communicates with authority, intention, compassion, and ethical influence?

• When you present data, speak in public, in meetings or when delivering presentations, you know that your audience is not as engaged as they could be. Once you lose their attention, you don't know how to get it back... Learn to connect better with your audience in a way that's natural and embeds your message with power and clarity.

• Contemplating your next career move? Maybe you feel like you're getting passed over by others who are less qualified? If your communication skills gaps are keeping you stuck, preventing you from progressing personally and professionally, let's talk.

• Going through change, lacking purpose, motivation or direction, or have some big decisions to make? Want to connect better in your personal relationships; with family, friends or as a parent, I can help.

JULIA

The connection between my children and I is already stronger thanks to you, and the methods you have given me will help me make them even more so.

CAROLINE

Alison has an immense amount of experience in communication and personal development. She takes a very different approach, and I've experienced a big leap forward in terms of self-awareness. I feel completely confident in recommending her as a mentor.

PENNY

On a practical level, it has made me listen to and trust and act on my instincts much more. I feel clearer, more ‘connected to myself’.

JILL

Lifechanging. Alison encourages people to assess their lives and brings out the potential that they unknowingly have. I would recommend her to anyone.

YVONNE

I really enjoyed the Course and feel I got a lot out of it. You gave me confidence in myself and made me look at life from a different perspective.

SCOTT

Alison is a great teacher... she gives thought-provoking, positive feedback and gives you the confidence to trust in yourself and step out into the unknown. I am amazed when I look back at how far I have come.

KIRAN

My approach to meeting and selling to groups of new clients was very different before attending Alison’s presentation. I used some of her suggestions and achieved 130% of my quarterly sales target in the first 2 weeks of the quarter.

IAN

I was recommended to your course and was initially a bit sceptical but have been blown away. I didn't expect our sessions to have such a huge influence on my work and business. On a personal level it helped me to be more open with my emotions and more accepting of myself as a person.

JENNI

I attended one of Alison's courses and found that it met all stated objectives. It provided me with some practical tools and built my confidence in using them. Alison has a particular talent for explaining issues and ideas in a way that resonates very clearly and de-mystifies concepts.

SALLY

Alison is an amazingly gifted person – she tunes into groups and individuals creating harmonious spaces for personal development on many levels. I can honestly say I have never met anyone like Alison. If you get the chance to work with her – grab it!

GILLIAN

Alison is a genuine and very supportive person. A brilliant teacher for anyone at any level. I am amazed at how much I have learnt. I fully recommend her!

PETER

Alison’s supportive style as a facilitator allowed me to discover amazingly effective ways to develop my people skills. Alison is a gifted coach and an excellent role model.

REAL RESULTS

"It’s difficult to specify all the things that I got out of your Course Alison, because there were so many."

Thanks to you, I have discovered abilities in myself I never dreamed I had. You encouraged me to allow an opening-up process which has begun a chain of incidents and insights I will always be grateful for. You engender confidence in your students and I have been inspired by your Course.

REAL RESULTS

"Working with Alison has been incredibly enlightening."

There are some things she has advised us where my reaction is "I knew that, why have I not done it already?" and she holds us accountable to do these things.
There are other activities and approaches I would never have thought of - she has so many good ideas. I have no hesitation in recommending her work and want to sincerely thank her for everything she has done so far.

- Hari, Coach, 13Times

REAL RESULTS

"I wholeheartedly recommend Alison's Course. An extremely gifted and committed individual."

She ensures each individual learns and expands as far as possible. Her openness is refreshing and inspirational… I have perceived huge changes in my view of myself. She assists in the process of finding answers within yourself to questions you may not have even thought of. This is what good teaching is all about.
