I work with sensitivity to understand what the audience would like to learn and understand.

I used to be a shy, insecure and complex person. I have undergone a massive transformation, not just in my outer health & identity but in my inner landscape and self-beliefs.

I feel that as a speaker I am merely a conduit for growth and expansion. I do not lecture on topics I have not lived. I do not lecture but I engage and co-collaborate to extract meaning for my audience so that they can experience shifts in their life. I have been inspired by incredible global speakers both at Mind Valley and here in South Africa. Speakers who move audiences, speakers who are willing to show their vulnerability, speakers who live their brand.

They inspire me every day to live my message.

After a 22 year journey of Entrepreneurship, Alison shares not only the Corporate and Personal Branding lessons she has learnt, but how to pivot these in a more virtual world.

As a qualified Image and Styling Consultant as well as a Personal Branding strategist, Alison unpacks;

Part One: First Impressions:

Dress, Discipline, Preparation, Content, Professionalism, Clarity of Message, the power of imagery and story-telling.

Part Two: Lasting Impressions:

• The power of Persuasion rather than Performance

Alison uses a powerful and riveting personal story to unlock the power of visual story-telling by focusing on elements of:

• Structure
• Action
• Characters
• Textures
• Language
• Emotions
• Meaning
• Symbolism

Alison draws on her experience of global speakers at the Mind Valley stage to explore how personal visual story-telling impacts audiences and shifts perceptions. She interacts with her audience to get them to explore how visual story-telling can impact and influence the message they wish to bring to the world.

Manifestation is not wishful thinking.

As Don Miguel Ruiz says “You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action, without action upon an idea there will be no manifestation, no results & no reward.”

However there is a difference between driven, determined SMART goals & living in flow and in alignment with your purpose.

Alison draws on the readings of many different thought leaders, including Dr Joe Dispenza, Dr Michael Beckwith, Vishen Lakhiani, Steven Kotler & Katie Byron to explore how MINDSET influences manifestation.

As part of her exploration of mindset, she engages with her audience to explore how traditional perceptions of “failure” can suffocate one’s courage and resilience.

Instead she looks at how an expansive, curious, integrated, disciplined mind & body, living in congruence in harmony & flow can exponentially change one’s reality.

By creating a different inner environment & an evolved vision of one’s life purpose, one can create an entirely different outer environment. That is where the magic happens.
