Facilitating deeper insights
I first met Alison in my early career as she provided coaching on Leading Without Authority. As course facilitator, Alison held the virtual room with ease, keeping us interested by asking questions that really make you think, getting us to share experiences with each other and adding her own insight to further our learning. It can be difficult when course attendees have individual challenges or have different backgrounds, Alison invited all views, balancing each of our voices and getting us to lean in and support one another. She forms deeper connections than other facilitators because she deeply cares and is led by openness and curiosity to explore a problem to the root cause. As a coach she creates a safe space to be vulnerable and does not judge, understanding that we’re all on our own learning journeys, offering to mirror back what she hears so you can get a better perspective. Alison leads with confidence and depth, with a fantastic ability to ask the kind of questions that unlock unexpected insights, with gentle but purposeful questions. As someone who has grown into a truly trusted connection, I am so grateful to Alison for her warmth and wisdom.
