As Speaker
'I was introduced to Alison in 2021 through the Coaches and Speakers Mentorship Programme. Alison and Jabu Zwane were the facilitators of the programme.
'Alison’s ability to captivate the audience with her storytelling methodology had a huge impact on me and on my coaching career. It was so easy to associate with her; she was never afraid to show her vulnerability to us during the programme.
'Alison, may everything you touch turn to gold; thank you for sharing yourself with us.'

'In August 2021, I reluctantly accepted an invitation to a personal brand talk. The keynote speaker for the day was Alison Weihe. Little did I know that I was to have a collision with destiny. I was blown away by Alison’s story and, for the first time in my life, felt a deep connection to my own destiny.
'Alison inspired me to own my own story and use my voice to fulfil my purpose; to own the fact that I am an original and one of a kind; and, more importantly, to share my story with those around me, because it will change their world.
'A BIG thank you, Alison, for unlocking and igniting the gift within me.'
Eleanor Bloem; South AfricaFounder/CEO, MindFuse Event Strategist
'Watching this woman so boldly claim her voice, power and courage helped me see my ‘can’t speak during the pandemic’ excuse for what it was. Because of her, I got back in the game and I’m so happy for the community and connection acts of courage create.'

'The first time I heard Alison speak was at her house, where she and her husband Friedel hosted a group of professional speakers. I was immediately touched by her passionate, connective and articulate manner of communication.
'I thought she was careful in crafting her sentences, along with a measure of careful confidence. After some time of getting to know her as a colleague, friend and business partner, I understood why. Her cautious, passionate and compassionate manner of communicating is deeply rooted in her self-awareness and social intelligence.
'I later understood that she practices what she terms as Identity Intelligence, a term that made me aware of how my identity frames how I relate to others. Reading this book has been equally a reiteration of those earlier observations, with even more intentionality and a refreshing level of intellectual intensity. Alison is truly an intelligent, soulful and emotionally committed linguist, with a powerful, needful message of healing and courageous transformation.
'I can confidently say that my relationship with both her and Friedel has been, for me, just as much of a journey of finding my tribe with them, with reference to the title of this book. The book epitomizes her unpretentious, reflective and authentically generous self. She generously shares with us her vulnerabilities in a transparent and courageous manner. She reflects a journey of self-love and self-discovery in a deeply profound way.
'Reading the book leaves me with a lot to reflect on, many courageous dares and gratitude to have had the privilege of being part of her tribe.'
Jabulani Zwane, South AfricaFounder of the Mindset Institute
'A truly awe-inspiring, engaging read of a soul on a journey to discover her "soul tribes". This read is an earnest portrayal of overcoming barriers such as imposter syndrome to discover the authentic self; finding life’s purpose; and living a vital and rewarding life.
'Alison’s book is a refreshing read. This networking aficionado discovers her purpose of bringing together other like-minded souls for greater synergy, which is exactly how I connected with Alison, and we have enjoyed meaningful collaboration ever since.
'Kudos, Alison, on capturing soul-baring inspiration in this amazing piece of work, which is truly an ode to the indomitable human spirit.'

'Alison has allowed me to be a part of her transformational journey. In Belonging, you get to be part of that journey as Alison shares openly and from the heart, a heart that you will find is full of courage and love. Belonging is your opportunity to learn how to find your own voice and create a fearless and fulfilling life.'
Graham Mitchell, South AfricaFounder of GROW Business Coaching
'If you’ve ever felt lonely, like an outsider or not enough, Alison’s book will speak straight into your soul and help you to heal.
'Alison uses storytelling as a medium to bring healing, hope and inspiration. She walks the talk, has lived the journey and sees her purpose to speak and write for those who need it on a soul level.
'Alison’s work will bring transformation into your life, and you can’t help but be inspired and moved by the words she writes and speaks. I would love to invite you to take the first step by reading this book and then sharing it with others.'
Yoke van Dam, South AfricaFounder of Y-Connect, Team and Leadership Expert
'This book resonated with me, my life, my life experiences, ups and downs. It is a page turner, I was glad to be on summer vacation, schools are closed, so I had time to read.
This book is succulent, deep, real, speaks the truth about life experiences, without leaving anything out. I could connect, it made me feel less critical about myself, what I accomplished, and that I should have more pride in how my life canvas has turned out.
Read this book, it will change your perspective on life, about challenges, trauma and other life events.
Well done Alison, you sure have rocked this!'
