We are in a period of transition where the possibilities are limitless, and the future of leadership invites a paradigm shift. This requires leaders who understand the power of self-awareness, authenticity, and compassion. “Leading from Within” is a visionary approach to leadership that fosters personal growth, inspires teams, and catalyzes positive change in society through the mastery of one’s own energy.

People think they need better time management, but they actually need better energy management. In a world where people feel like they are always playing catch up with a never-ending to-do list, understanding energy management can be incredibly helpful. Understanding energy helps us become more present, focused, efficient, less stressed, sleep better, and have better quality relationships.

In this keynote, Alison encourages participants to look at energy as a currency, asking questions like:

How do you spend your energy each day?
Do you save your energy for when you need it?
What habits deplete your energy and what habits are life-giving?
Audiences will follow Alison through practical exercises to experience a shift in their own energy in real time. Energy is contagious, and through the lens of understanding coherence, participants have the opportunity to understand the energy of stress and anxiety and how to transform that into an energy of presence, patience, and calm.

Through heart-centered consciousness and learning to master your own energy, the three C’s – connection, community, and coherence – become the pillars and foundation upon which a strong life and, in turn, a strong business is built.
