“Alison was amazing and a perfect fit for our event, and our company culture! What a gem – We so enjoyed meeting her and have heard nothing but praise from our attendees. We couldn’t be happier!” Eufora “Alison was one of my all time favorite YPO speakers. She has a magical presentation style that makes you feel like you are listening to a hilarious old friend while learning about ways to transform your life. She distilled an extraordinary number of wellness ideas into a succinct presentation. I left the evening with a short list of books to read and practices to try. I wish she was a monthly speaker! I would very highly recommend her to any chapter looking for a smart, engaging speaker in the wellness space.” YPO North Texas “Alison was scheduled to present ways to practice self-care via mindfulness. Unbeknownst to her, her audience was a multigenerational mixture of skeptics and receptive team members who are analysts by trade. She completely engaged the audience through her use of media, team exercises and animated narrative. Even months after the event, team members are still talking about her successful event and using the diaries that she created to further instill the principles of mindfulness. In fact, a few have suggested that they wished that she would come back on a regular basis! We highly recommend her, especially to gain tools to better insulate employees from burnout, COVID weariness and, above all, fear!” Plancorp “Thank you for choosing such an amazing speaker today. She was incredible. I got stopped by almost every person that left with the same sentiments. Many said that this was one of the best events they have ever been to. I am grateful to have heard her message today; and, I know the chapter is as well.” EO St. Louis
