What My Client’s are Saying
“After this workshop I realize that we all have things we have to accomplish and challenges are placed in our way. Teamwork helps, remember safety and make a plan and follow through!”
“Recharged my leadership batteries! Just what I needed.”
“I wanted to build my own career coaching business but had no idea where to start, so I reached out to a fellow coach and entrepreneur for guidance! Alissa’s Starting Your Business With Strengths curriculum, combined with her thoughtful questions and coaching, gave me the structure and framework I needed to make my business dream a reality. Alissa did an excellent job of holding me accountable, calling me out when I was selling myself short, and encouraging and motivating me. Alissa ensured that I kept my values and my why for starting my business top of mind at every stage, which allowed me to make decisions that energized me. I didn’t think I had enough of an “entrepreneurial spirit” in me to launch my own coaching business, but Alissa helped me discover that courage and provided me with resources that I will keep coming back to. I highly recommend working with Alissa if you want to launch or improve your business and are looking for structure and support to help you do so.”
“Alissa is one of those leaders in life whom you’ll immediately be grateful to have encountered. She has an innate ability to expertly relate to her clients and staff, all while creating a profound sense of ease and team camaraderie, regardless of the posed dilemma. Her organizational acumen is only bested by the profound desire she elicits to constantly provide service to, and enhance the performance of others. When it comes to the development of businesses, teams, organizations, or your own personal goals, Alissa’s professional experience and personal inspiration are the exact skills necessary to match even the most demanding of corporate needs. When the growth and motivation you’re seeking to reach new pinnacles seem out of reach, be assured that professionals like Alissa are the ones best suited to help guide you there.”
“Thank you again for supporting yesterday’s Leadership Off-site retreat. I’ve received nothing but great accolades from the Supervisors and Managers; specifically about your facilitation style, selected connective activities, feelings of rejuvenation and inspiration for change, and that this year’s off-site was one of our best. It was definitely a meaningful experience!”
“So grateful Alissa was recommended to me for our off-site meeting. She adapted quickly under the limited time we had, fully captured our ask, and executed it perfectly with her own creative style. We would totally recommend her and ask her back for another leadership day.”
Organizations who believe in the power of courage.
