" Alison hosted a workshop at our Women in Sales Summit and was a fantastic asset to the event. Alison’s session was oversubscribed with standing room only. She was a breeze to work with and I look forward to working with her at the next Summit "
Isabella, Women in Sales Summit
" Alisons talk was AMAZING and really resonated with everyone as well as giving them all plenty of food for thought and things to consider in their leadership ‘journeys’! I’ve had so much positive feedback already - about the session as a whole but also about Alison, her story, her style and her delivery as well as the content. I think people really appreciate having tangible take-aways that they can put into practice, so thank you Alison for giving us that. "

" From start to finish, working with Alison was an absolutely pleasure and joy. It can often sound like a cliche, but she is truly inspirational. This very clearly came across in the session that she provided to members of the team on her bestselling book, SMASH IT! What was great was that Alison worked with me to ensure that the session took account of the context within which we were working at the time, with the aim of supporting staff through difficult times and periods of change. The feedback from those who attended was more than positive and it was quite clear Alison had had an impact on all of us, in different ways "

" 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! "
