You are Not a Fraud: Overcoming Impostor Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome is a pattern of thinking in which one fears being exposed as a fraud. Allison helps you overcome perfectionism, micromanagement & fear of failure so you can be even more powerful at work.

Building Resilience & Success in the Age of Uncertainty

Life and work are more demanding than ever. You don’t want to walk away from your career, yet living life on the brink of exhaustion is no way to live. Allison helps you stay in the game and love being there.

Calm in the Chaos

Finding balance in life can seem impossible when our lives are so demanding and uncertain. This workshop focuses on effective strategies to micro-dose self-care so you can keep your energy up, no matter how busy life gets.

Having Difficult Conversations: Leading with Compassionate Honesty

Our work, our teams, and our product offerings suffer when we are not able to give difficult feedback. In this session, Allison teaches you how to give clear feedback that is both honest and compassionate in order to get the result that is needed.

Optimize Your Energy in an Ever-Changing World

Our world is changing dramatically in unpredictable ways. How do you plan for the future when there's so much uncertainty? This workshop is about building the mental & emotional resilience to successfully navigate whatever comes next.
