Testimonial

I had the pleasure of working with Alison as part of a 6 month ‘Retail General Managers and State Managers’ leadership program. Her passion for leadership and development is evident in all she does and her commitment to helping others become the best version of themselves is inspiring. Not only has Alison provided the tools, strategies and techniques to develop our leadership skills and grown our business, she has shown tremendous compassion and understanding on a personal level which, in turn, paved the way to a wonderful culture shift of ‘people first, employees second’. Our time with Alison was both beneficial and motivating and I look forward to working with her in the future.

The program has delivered powerful and immediate day to day changes and given both myself and my team a better understanding of the role and best practice for how it’s performed. I understand the skillset and behavioural attributes to succeed in the role and how I can better support those making the transition from Store Manager to Area Managers. Alison’s motivation to see leaders thrive in their field is obvious, genuine, and inspiring. My team and I will take some truly powerful learnings with us forever.
