Reshaping how teams think, decide and deliver

more converted from the same pipeline, after one keynote, when the whole team started thinking like owners.

We received roughly the same opportunities in H2 as H1 — but converted £54 million more into paid deals. Alison’s session played a huge part in this by getting the whole team to come together and think like owners.

Your team doesn’t need another speaker

They need a change in how they think and work together. Alison spent three decades inside global organisations, learning what makes cultures perform and what makes them fail. She saw both: from high-growth environments to Yellow Pages, where she watched a household name unravel because its culture couldn’t adapt.

Today she gives teams the practical tools to take responsibility and raise their performance day to day, through her framework, The Intrapreneur Mindset. It is delivered with real corporate experience behind it, in a style that is high-energy and refreshingly down to earth.

The Intrapreneur Mindset

Three questions that change how a team decides

  1. What would I do if it were my first day?

  2. What would I say if it were my best friend?

  3. What would I do if it were my business?

Common questions

Is the session tailored to our challenges?

Yes. Every session is built around your unique challenges, whether you are an SME or a global conglomerate, and whether it is a senior leadership session or a company all-hands. Alison and her team design something that genuinely fits your team.

Does Alison speak in person or virtually?

Both. She delivers in person across the UK and internationally, and high-energy virtual sessions that hold a room just as well. She once kept a 10,000-strong online audience engaged from start to finish.

What size audience does Alison speak for?

Anything from a leadership team of a dozen to an all-hands of thousands. The energy and the takeaways scale either way; the difference is simply how the session is shaped.

What topics does she cover?

Her main theme is The Intrapreneur Mindset, which helps people make better decisions by asking, “what would I do if it were my business?” Alison also tailors bespoke content around motivation, resilience, confidence and influence, typically at no extra cost.

It depends on the format, time of year, location and audience. The quickest way to find out is the instant quote calculator, and you will have an estimate in minutes.
