Biography

What sets Alison apart is her commitment to delivering bespoke content tailored to each organisation. She believes no two businesses are the same, ensuring her sessions align with the unique challenges, goals, and culture of her clients. Alison speaks the language of the organisation on stage, making her message resonate deeply with audiences.

Alison was one of the few women to be recognised with an MBE on the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2020 for her services to entrepreneurship and business, and she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Education in 2024. With over a decade of experience as a business champion, she has mentored top industry figures. Alison has also played a pivotal role in advising the government on business legislation, contributing to the growth of the UK economy.

As a dyslexic author of two international best-selling books, Alison has mastered the balance of how to enhance readers’ personal and professional development. Her debut book was a WHSmith Top Ten Business Book and named one of the top business books written by a woman in 2019 by The Independent newspaper.

Alison has spoken to a number of well-established companies, including several Fortune 500 clients such as Amazon, LVMH, Merck, Renault, AXA, DHL, and Accenture, among others.

"Alison was amazing! The feedback was really great and everyone really enjoyed her high energy talk. Totally professional and on message! Thanks a million!" Merck

"Alison is knowledgeable, practical and very entrepreneurial, so when we had an event where MetLife needed a speaker I didn’t think twice to recommend her as I knew she would be able to deliver the best virtual, yet interactive session for our 500 women salesforce. Overall Alison is a pleasure to interact, work and learn from and I look forward to working with her again soon." MetLife

"Alison was a keynote speaker at our All-staff event day. Alison captivated the team with her energy and compelling message. The whole presentation was motivational and meaningful to everyone in the room. Alison and Jaz were open and helped to deliver a presentation tailored to our staff. We look forward to working with you again in the future." Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust

"Alison was amazing from start to finish. During meetings prior to the event Alison took time to understand our objectives and worked with us to ensure the content hit the mark on the day. During the event Alison’s energy and passion was there for all to see. The content really resonated with the team and they were able to connect it to real life work and home situations. Alison has some great stories and her engaging and funny delivery style made the team feel right at home. I would highly recommend Alison if you are looking to inspire and motivate your team in the future." Currys

"Inspirational / Relevant / Practical/Fun/Authentic'' - these are all words that I have had fed back to me from the recent Women in Business event that was hosted at SJP by Alison. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison for anyone looking to host Alison as a Keynote Speaker. Thank you very much Alison, the ladies (and of course me) thought you were amazing." St James’s Place

"Alison was an excellent speaker for an event targeted at University of Southampton academics. Alison was engaging, genuine and captured the audience immediately. She created an interactive and engaging space where attendees could re-frame their mindset. Overall, Alison and the team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Providing a collaborative approach to organising a great event!" Southampton Uni

"What a seamless and lovely experience it was to work with Alison for our graduation event. Having been let down by an internal supplier with less than 3 weeks until the event date, thinking it would probably be too late, Alison absolutely saved the day. The response was really quick and we set up a meeting to discuss our requirements within a couple of days and Alison was extremely flexible in meeting our needs. On the day Alison was a fantastic ball of positive energy infecting everyone she came into contact with. She was able to put together an excellent presentation within a very short window, even making last minute adjustments at a moments notice, and the audience lapped it up! If you're looking for a fun engaging positive speaker, Alison is definitely your go to. Thank you Alison!" Renault

"Alison talks about her Big Balls and boy does she have them! We hired Alison for our Keynote slot at our event and would absolutely recommend her. She delivered her presentation with personalised touches and a kick-ass attitude that not only got the attendees in our room buzzing but also inspired the digital attendees. Communication with Alison and her team before the event was quick and efficient and it was a pleasure to work with Alison and her team. Thank you Alison & co!" Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy
