TESTIMONIALS

Alison’s background in tech and global business made her coaching feel very real.  She is an excellent listener and her coaching is a mix of down-to-earth tactics and high-level strategies.  She helped me build my management toolkit so I have more options when dealing with tough situations on my team.  For example, I am more confident and better equipped to have some difficult conversations with one of our best machine learning developers.  She also helped me navigate the cultural differences of the U.S. work environment so I understood how my communications might be received differently than I intended.

Through my work with Alison I gained a great deal of confidence and recognized the importance of promoting myself.  This led to my asking for and receiving a significant raise and was hugely meaningful to my work and my life.  Alison is a thought partner, has her finger tips at a wide array of resources, and truly cares about the people she coaches. She has incredible experiences herself which she pulls from, and she has just the right touch to both hold me accountable and promote my own leadership in our coaching relationship.

I went into coaching skeptical of how it would turn out. Would it be a useful? How much value would it add? Much to my relief, all of these concerns disappeared after my first session with Alison.  I've been hearing from managers for years that a major development area was to improve my empathy and how I connect with peers - but none were able to guide me on how to make that happen.  Alison taught me the importance and value of empathy in a few short hours, and her listening skills plus engaging questions helped me cut through self-imposed walls and come out a better leader.
