Testimonials

"Understanding organisational change and developing a clear strategy are key challenges facing myself and others. Having worked with Alison before, I was aware of her diagnosis and execution skills in traversing organisational change to help me achieve my potential".

"I can tell you without any doubt at all, from first-hand experience, that Alison is great at what she does, and a lovely person! And she has a great accent".

"Prior to working with Alison I was acutely aware that introducing procedural and structural change into an organisation was difficult and presented a minefield of potential pitfalls. Alison helped me avoid my first "mine" within a changing and challenging landscape through one simple and quick telephone conversation, allowing me to quickly formulate a clear way forward and test theories in real life business scenarios."

"It was really great how we arrived at a 'silhouette' of the optimal solution. You are really very observant and engaging! You've given me some specific ideas of how to regain a sense of control".

"This experience has allowed me to make a massive shift in how I see the contribution I can make to my company, especially in the challenges we face right now. I know my strongest niche, where I fit on the value chain, and how to work with my strengths to get out of my rut and into a great role that is going to make a difference."

"I thought this was a very productive session-focusing exactly on what I requested on my agenda, and making significant progress in the direction I had hoped. I feel like the insightful "reality checks" you are able to inject when I am floundering are very helpful, and give me useful things to keep in mind as I go forward."

"I have been able to access a less emotional view of the change issues. Alison is very insightful, and this has led me to the understanding I was hoping to get, and the true direction things need to go in. I now also have a productive framework for moving forward in that."

"I have regained a sense of control, and have such a sense of 'lightness' now, instead of worrying."

"Alison quickly created a "safe" environment in which to share ideas and discuss real business problems affecting my current organisation and role. The outcome of these discussions often generated new ideas and options allowing me to quickly formulate a clear way forward and test theories in real life business scenarios."

"I am energized and it tells me why I am working with you. I know that many people believe in me and I owe it to these people and myself to believe in me too. It has really helped me to see the possibilities and show me that what we all do has an impact. It will be challenging and meaningful."

"I have felt calm and felt that I am headed in a positive direction. I think I have connected with the love in me and a world of options has opened up for me. Thanks for helping me to break out of my prison."

"Alison is an incredibly holistic thinker with a rare perspective on complex situations."

"I have reassurance that I am so obviously where I should be in my life's journey… It was a real confidence build intuitively and practically around the part I have to play – doing something locally that affects bigger things, beyond my realisation and through the actions of others."

"You are so encouraging, Alison. You believe I am ahead of my time. It calms my sense of doubt and wondering why my fit in this world sometimes feels off. A very strong realisation for me from our call was that I just need to do my bit for just now and that is my growth journey. You helped me make sense of why I felt so uncomfortable latterly with my role– trying to fit with structures that were so at odd with my values. Integrity and congruence are so important."

"I have a greater sense of confidence, belief and biggest of all, to have some perspective on what I am doing helps with my inner calm. Even though I don't feel geared into that affecting system shift yet, I feel excited that, because I have something concrete to apply myself to, rhetoric can become reality. It makes me feel connected again with the world, as opposed to lost."

"My leadership has never been more crucial and something that I feel readier for. I have a growing inner strength. I am not interested in old style hierarchical, potentially disconnected leadership. I am about bringing all of me to a challenge or a problem and being productive and creative in seeking / trying out solutions. I must also remember I am not alone."
