Background & Mission

After nearly 15 years in healthcare, Allison has seen how crucial communication is to the culture and health of an organization, as well as to its outward representation to patients, vendors, and the community. Watching organizations flounder in a sea of unhappy employees, high turnover rates, poor patient reviews, and damaged community and vendor relationships is so disheartening. No one wins in those situations — not the employer, not the employee, not the customer/patient, and not the community.

Despite seeing so many organizations struggle, there are some that have found their “secret sauce” — one that allows them to foster a healthy culture and create positive encounters both internally and externally. One of the cornerstones of those organizations is that they have figured out how to communicate effectively. Allison believes connection built through intentional, authentic, and effective communication is at the heart of a healthy organization.

Allison’s mission is to help individuals, teams, and organizations use effective communication to create connection, improve employee engagement, and foster healthy corporate cultures. We spend too much of our lives at our jobs to allow them to continue being environments that are toxic and void of clear communication, trust, and empathy.

Through authentic communication, we create genuine connection.
Through genuine connection, we lead more confidently.
And through confident, emotionally intelligent leadership, we build cultures that truly thrive.

Through Allison’s coaching and consulting work, she offers:
• 1:1 and team coaching for communication and leadership development
• Communication, de-escalation, and emotional intelligence workshops
• Consulting on workplace culture and staff engagement
• Educational resources and professional development tools

CONNECT more effectively … LEAD more confidently … Create cultures that THRIVE
