Awarded an MBE in 2020 and an Honorary Doctorate of Education in 2024, Alison is recognised for her contribution to learning and development. Her work has taken her inside major global brands, including Amazon, Adobe, CBRE, LVMH, Porsche, and British Airways, where she helps teams navigate change, strengthen collaboration, and raise performance standards at every level.

Alison is the author of two international bestsellers, both widely used across organisations to develop confidence, resilience, and professional impact. Known for her energy, humour, relatability, and down-to-earth storytelling, Alison empowers audiences to think differently, show up with purpose, and unlock the performance potential within themselves and their teams.

"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.
