Straight-Shooting, Perspective-Shifting, Feel-Good Fun!
Perspective Shifting.
The realities of life and work can distort our perspective. To experience breakthroughs, people often need help seeing their circumstances through a new lens.
From an early age, Alyson experienced life without a net — her survival and success to be decided solely by her willingness to “own it.”
As Alyson reveals the perspective-shifting benefits of this ownership mindset, audiences discover the key that unlocks a fresh outlook and fuels unexpected opportunities for their own growth.
Straight Shooting + Feel Good Fun.
People yearn for someone who’ll be real with them. From her earliest memories, Alyson faced hard truths. Never knowing the environment she would wake up to, she learned early on the value of embracing the reality of a situation and calling it what it is.
“Just shoot me straight, then I can figure out my next right move.”
Like that one friend you can always count on, Alyson shares sometimes difficult truths that need to be heard. But like the friend who won’t let you take yourself too seriously, she seasons her straight-shooting lessons with a healthy dose of feel-good fun.
Whether laughing at her own missteps, moonwalking like MJ, or masterfully making a point, Alyson’s shows audiences their own resilience and better results begin with a shot of reality, a measure of laughter, and a mindset committed to making something good happen.
