“My genuine interest in people and what makes us tick, has paved the way for a career helping individuals and companies transform the way they do business through the standpoint of culture,communication and most importantly, listening.
For decades I’ve been intrigued by human interaction, and the question of “What is it that creates connection and how or why do we withdraw and disengage from each other?” As I got deeper into my career and had many more interactions in business settings, the follow-up question became, “How does the way we communicate impact how we work with others, lead, make difficult decisions collaboratively, and also show up for the people that we love?" In asking these questions, it became very clear that my life’s purpose is to change the way people live, love and do business, for the better.”
For Allison, the power of listening is the key to changing the way people live, love, and work.
