Hi, I’m Alison. I specialise in

L&D / STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNERING
BUSINESS MENTORING AND COACHING
HUMAN SKILLS FACILITATION
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN.

I’ve worked with a wide range of organisations and micro and small/medium sized businesses to increase their growth, pipeline of customers, conversion rates, branding and visibility.

REAL RESULTS:

Lou is in Corporate. She's always had strong instincts about people.

Before she came on my course, she had no context or container for her skills, or structure to safely and easily develop them. Then she found us!

After taking our course, and us still being connected 23 years later, she's still using them in every area of her life to make big (and small) decisions, navigate change with less fear, take bold steps to fulfill her goals and draw on everything she learnt to live life on her terms. She was amazed at how far she got in the short time she was on the course...
