“Our division leadership team wanted a fresh new approach to improve communication, confidence and team building for our Store Management. Allison has the ability to get individuals to expand beyond their comfort zone. Allison gets her participants to think about themselves differently which helps them communicate to their team differently. I saw people that were quiet and reserved start to express themselves freely and confidently. Consultants I have dealt with in the past have a standard process or agenda they follow. Allison will adapt her process and agenda based on your needs. She has amazing energy and is an excellent facilitator.”

– Steve Peiffer | VP of Operations, Kroger Co, Dillons Division
 

“I have always considered myself a strong leader and an even stronger operator.  After the last 8 months with Allison I am now a strong operator and an even stronger leader.  Allison has worked with me on public speaking, body language, facilitating classes, communication, coaching and just having fun when working. 

After all of my personal training Allison assisted me with the selection of my entire management team for our project.  She created a six-week training class on engagement and accountability that was attended by my thirty managers.  The personal and professional growth displayed and demonstrated by the team was amazing.  Allison’s coaching was what made our project not only possible but extremely successful.”

“Allison is amazing. What I loved the most was being reminded of how important appreciating others is! I watched an entire team blossom before my eyes. The confidence the team walked away with was priceless. The importance of celebrating success at all levels throughout the company. Allison has taught us the value of communicating what is really important to our Associates, and given us lifelong skills that will help us professionally and personally. Our team has gone from Good to Great! We have all been inspired to be better leaders! Thank you Allison!”
