Coaching Process

Allison’s approach is practical, grounded, and focused on helping professionals navigate their careers with clarity and confidence. She helps clients build on their strengths to increase impact and progress towards their goals.

Her coaching is built around five core principles:

1. Listen First
Allison begins by listening closely to understand the client’s role, context, and challenges. This includes exploring high-pressure demands, team dynamics, and internal patterns that may be contributing to stress or uncertainty.

2. Explore Opportunities Thoughtfully
Clients gain insight into the strengths they already bring to their work and how to apply them more effectively. She helps clients unpack the specific obstacles holding them back, whether it’s unclear career direction, overcommitment, or messaging. By understanding the underlying dynamics, clients gain clarity on what’s driving their current experience and what’s within their influence to change.

3. Consider Practical Options
Allison works with clients to evaluate actionable steps. She provides support with practical tools such as drafting talking points, preparing for key conversations, or outlining strategies for promotion, career transitions, or challenging workplace interactions.

4. Adjust Approach and Strategy
Clients refine how they communicate, lead, and influence others. Allison helps them build strategies that feel authentic while increasing effectiveness in difficult situations. Coaching includes building presence, addressing limiting mindsets, and finding ways to advocate for oneself in high-pressure environments.

5. Build Sustainable Practices
To maintain momentum, Allison helps clients develop simple, personalized routines and strategies for managing stress, building towards advancement, and sustaining confidence.
