Testimonials

“Words can’t express my gratitude for Allison’s partnership throughout our engagement. At the time we began, I was newly promoted to a c-level role that I didn’t see coming and had some significant confidence issues, not to mention a few concrete things to work on. Fast-forward 18 months later, I have successfully built a solid A-player management team and transferred ownership of duties (something I struggled with) to spend more time working on the business. I feel more confident in my decisions and leadership. On the personal front, I feel more well-connected and present for my young family. Throughout this journey, I consistently felt Allison standing firmly in my corner while simultaneously challenging me to use every opportunity to find my own growth edge. She held up a mirror up and successfully coached me through an interesting and challenging time in my career. I truly can’t thank her enough.”

“Allison changed my life. She completely helped me reframe my thoughts on leadership, how I show up on a day-to-day basis, and how to set and reach goals. Through my engagement with Allison, I learned how to show up as an effective, efficient, and value-additive team member. I feel so much more comfortable in my direction and in the future of my career due to my sessions with Allison. I would highly recommend working with her – it is definitely worth the investment!”

“I was skeptical about coaching when I first connected with Allison. I wondered, Will this experience be worth it? Is Allison the right coach for me? Do I really need help getting unstuck? Looking back, the answer was yes. Every session with Allison is so thoughtful and energizing. She gave me tools to reflect on challenges, and she stayed with me to make sure the tools worked. The result is that I'm happier and more confident in new situations, and I'm excited to engage with teammates and work through problems together. Everyone needs a coach like Allison in their corner.”

“When I began to explore the idea of hiring an executive coach, I had no idea how valuable the coaching process would be for me both personally and professionally. Allison is so much more than an excellent coach; she is a trusted thought partner and caring sounding board who did far more than help me sort out some of my career questions. She is a gifted listener who helped me to arrive at these results through a thought-provoking and efficient process in which she never pretended to be an expert on my life. Rather, she guided me toward becoming a much more self-aware person with the skills to live my life to its fullest on my terms, and through my own strength and ability”

“Allison is more than a coach, she is your champion. Through thoughtful, supportive discussion, powerful questions, and exercises, Allison will lead you on a journey of intentional self-realization, all driven by her compassion, intelligence and passion for the power of coaching. Prepare to deep dive into who you are and what matters to you personally and professionally in a way that gives you clarity and purpose.”

“This world is tremendously lacking in people like Allison, who truly care, shoot straight, and never give up. This is how she lives her life, and this is how she coaches. She pushed me to be more honest with myself, to acknowledge my flaws, to celebrate my gifts, and to understand that we are all struggling and striving in ways that are more similar than different. She actively listened, reflected back to me what she heard, and offered practical insights that I use every day, both professionally and personally. If you're skeptical about paying a stranger to coach you, as I was, think again. You can’t do the work I did with Allison on your own or by reading a book. She brings enormous value to the table, and I intend to use her in the future.”

- Managing Director, Investment Banking, New York, NY

“The consummate professional. Incredibly good at reading people and understanding what is left unsaid. Unapologetically real and genuinely encouraging. As a coach, it seems to me that she’s doing what she was made to do, and you can see her passion and her skill in every session. I feel lucky to know her, and extremely fortunate to have worked with her.”

- Business Affairs, Telecommunications, Los Angeles, CA

“She understood the demands on my time. The entire process seemed efficient and effective, and I left with a much clearer view of myself, my goals, and how I want to reach them. I’ve worked with other “coaches” who require a lot of time for little results, and this was a completely different experience. I wish every member of my team could work with Allison – they’d be better personally and professionally for it. I definitely am.”

- Software Sales Executive, Austin, TX

Allison helped me identify blind spots, and where I overplay my strengths to my own detriment. With her support, she has shared tools and strategies to achieve my professional goals and to develop new skills on my own. Theses are tools that I will utilize in the future without her. The challenges were hands on, practical experiences which made me go out of my comfort zone. Allison guided me through lessons that grew my executive presence and leadership. Her guidance allowed me to analyze problems in creative ways and see everything as a learning experience, never a failure.

As someone coming from another culture, I valued that Allison was able to listen and build and understanding of my business environment. I was impressed by her ability to navigate coaching on a multicultural level. I am a better leader today because of the coaching I received from Allison.
