Imagine a workplace where people feel strong, safe, engaged, and connected
because of the leadership and culture
Where wellbeing initiatives amplify what's already healthy
Enhancing life and work - not compensating for stress at work - or patching over deeper problems
👇🏼
Most leaders know this truth:
Surface-level harmony exists in every workplace
It can show up as:
➡️ Loyal, high performers quietly carrying the load of others
➡️ Tiptoeing around the real issues, avoiding the hard conversations
➡️ People pretending things are fine... when they’re not
It’s easy to blame “toxic leaders” for politics and disengagement
... but the reality?
➡️ Leading teams, or multiple teams is not easy
➡️ Embedding wellbeing into culture takes more than programs
➡️ Shifting behaviour patterns is possible - but only when you understand what's driving them
That’s why this training is grounded in Neuroscience & Psychology
It equips leaders and managers to address the real drivers of human behaviour
— the dynamics that most programmes overlook
NeuroPsych Intelligence
is the new leadership currency
Going beyond emotional intelligence and business acumen, it's the ability to work with how the brain, mind, and emotions drive behaviour in all human interactions
Despite the popular online narrative, most leaders are not toxic
Of course, toxic personalities and behaviours exist
But most leaders have good intentions and good strategies
It's important to resource the well-intentioned to lead and navigate workplace dynamics well
And that always comes down to one thing:
Power Dynamics
Power dynamics exist in every single human interaction
Ironically, the biggest issue is not leaders misusing power
… it’s high integrity leaders and managers avoiding it
Holding back from visibility or authority
Sidestepping tough conversations
People pleasing and trying to “be nice”
And in doing so, leaving a vacuum...
for politics, uncertainty (or a toxic individual) to fill
When power is owned and navigated well:
✔ People gain clarity, trust, and agency
✔ Wellbeing initiatives become genuinely energising — not sticking plasters
✔ Strategies execute smoothly — momentum builds, results compound
But when power dynamics are ignored or misunderstood:
✘ Wellbeing spend is wasted
✘ Strategies stall in execution
✘ Talented people disengage, burn out, or leave
In short: when power dynamics are ignored, time, energy, and investment drain away
— while the deeper issues remain untouched
That's why this training goes Behind the Words
Behind the Words will give you:
✔️ Deep psychological insight to shift hidden patterns that quietly undo wellbeing, engagement and performance
(rarely taught outside psychotherapy training)
✔️ Practical, usable tools (not surface-level tips)
To confidently lead tough conversations and resolve “prickly” conflicts or unspoken tension
Packaged in a way that’s relatable to anyone leading a team or with a responsibility for workplace wellbeing and culture
Today's leaders know success is built on wellbeing & relationships
The real work of leadership lies in the quality of human interaction
The most influential leaders don’t speak louder
They see deeper
If you want to lead with this level of influence
This training is for you
Here's what we'll do together:
Power Dynamics
(A FREE standalone 45-minute Training)
The critical piece most wellbeing or leadership initiatives overlook
Power is not a problem
Avoiding it is
Expect 💡 moments:
Recognise healthy power dynamics and gain new insights into how when we ignore, avoid, or misunderstand power:
✔ The real issues go unresolved
✔ Top talent disengage, burn out, or leave
✔ Teams underperform
✔ Surface-level harmony erodes wellbeing - and politics fill the gap
Do not expect:
X Over complicated theory
The result:
After this FREE 45-minute training, you can't unsee:
✔ The power dynamics shaping every conversation, meeting, and team
✔ The “power voids” driving stress and undermining your strategies & results
✔ The transformative effect of redistributing power — without losing your own
You'll walk away with fresh eyes on your business culture and new insights on how to position your wellbeing and business strategies

Conversations that Change Culture (3-hour Training)
Every major shift in wellbeing, performance, or culture begins with conversation — the hard ones, the avoided ones, the high-stakes ones where emotions run deep.
Get conversations right, and every strategy becomes easier to execute.
Get them wrong, and even the best-designed programmes quietly fail.
Expect to learn:
✔ The Neuroscience: How to communicate in ways that supports optimal brain states - whether 1:1, with a team, in written comms, or through strategy
✔ The Psychology: How to spot and work with ego states — the distinct psychological positions people drop into in every interaction — so that power dynamics stay healthy and not avoided
✔ The Practice: How to lead difficult, emotionally charged conversations with confidence — without stress, avoidance, or reliance on scripts
Do not expect:
X Conversation scripts that you can't remember when you need them!
The result:
You’ll walk away able to:
✔ Lead conversations that shift culture — navigating conflict, avoidance, and power dynamics with confidence (and without stress or reliance on scripts).
✔ Tailor your strategies for impact — understanding the psychological forces driving behaviours, so you can design wellbeing, leadership, and business strategies that fit your people, your culture, your goals — and actually stick

The Outcomes
With Part 1 you’ll see the power dynamics at play in your workplace
With Part 2, you’ll gain the psychological insights and tools to navigate and positively lead them
Together, these two sessions equip you to work with the deeper drivers of human behaviour
✨ So instead of managers avoiding tough conversations, they’ll have the confidence to hold them
✨ Instead of high performers quietly carrying the load, you’ll see balanced teams
✨ Instead of wellbeing initiatives being dismissed as ‘a nice to have,’ they’ll be embraced as part of a thriving culture.
Why this training matters:
We are a tribal species starving for human connection
When leaders and managers are supported to navigate power dynamics and conversations well,
trust grows, potential unlocks, strategies land
... and workplaces become happier, healthier, and far more productive

SMS is on the "Best Place to Work" list, UK
Gavin Harris (the business owner you see in this video) and Mike Crook, CEO (testimonial further below) were the first people to experience this training. In fact, I designed it for them, in response to a real business need.
SMS has contracted my services since 2019

"This has changed my life and given me new purpose and direction. I’ve gained deep insight into what is driving me and I've been able to make much better and braver decisions.
Alison is incredibly good at what she does.
She is so highly qualified in this field, using that knowledge with a backlog of life and business experience to great effect. She understands people and their motivations better than anyone I know. I feel braver with Alison on my side.
It is endlessly fascinating working with her. She’s an absolute rockstar!"

"Back in 2019, I was sceptical about working with Alison. I thought it wasn’t my thing. I was an ambitious, hardworking Director, and thought I didn’t “need it”. But the Business Owner insisted, for everyone on SMS’s leadership team to at least have an introductory meeting with Alison.
Fast forward to today, I'm now CEO of SMS. It’s impossible to know if this would be the case anyway. But regardless, I have achieved a lot in my time with Alison. She creates an environment to discuss and learn, whilst also being kept accountable on my longer-term development goals – the bigger picture mindset.
I look back and see that I used to be on ‘a hamster wheel’, keeping busy, but not having the impact that I wanted for myself or my teams.
Today, I better understand the needs and drivers of both myself – and people at all levels of our business. Rather than trying to do everything myself, I leverage the talents in our teams. I see the value in getting out of their way. Focusing, instead, on creating the conditions for everyone to step into their potential and purpose.
My work is more efficient and impactful, I enjoy it more and I have better balance. I see the same in my teams.
We continue to procure many of Alison’s services; coaching, leadership training, team away days, facilitation, and consultancy. This has enabled alignment across the business, not just the leadership team, but management and wider teams.
I strongly recommend working with Alison. If you throw yourself into it and are open to turning over a few rocks – you will undoubtedly grow in the process".

"I'm a Speech & Language Therapist who worked for the NHS and then started out on my own, seeing children privately. Today, my business is run online with a virtual team, providing services all over the UK.
Our revenue is now almost 8-figures.
I joined one of Alison’s leadership groups because I felt a bit lost. I needed a forum for investing in me to help me to grow our business.
She helped me to see myself as a leader and grow as a leader, which has had a huge impact on my business; its culture, its trajectory, and its finances.
Working with Alison brought confidence, energy, and expertise to me and my business. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison and her expertise to you.
She's a little bundle of magic!"

"Working with Alison, and the group, I felt like a rough diamond learning to sparkle. I found I had all these hidden skills, which had been buried under tiredness, self-limitation and insufficient time invested in me, by me. It was deeper than "just work". It’s about who I want to be.
I am significantly more resilient, resourceful and insightful. I have developed a fortitude that surprises me. I am clearer about what I want (that uncertainty has been my downfall). I have gained more self-respect and that is pretty valuable.
I’m still me, yet more accomplished and polished somehow. I like myself more. I think I have found what was missing. How great is that".
Kate Phizackerly, Lawyer

"I’ve got more out of this, than any training I’ve done for a long time. The course changed the way I think and the mentality of what we should be focusing on as a business. That was the main thing for me and was critical for us moving forward
People change around you. It’s amazing to see that success when people understand the why, the purpose.
It’s a shift that will build the foundations of SMS for the next 10-years"
Toby Maddox

"Working with Alison is a great experience. She is so understanding and supportive, with a kind and caring attitude.
You can apply everything that’s in the course to every situation. You’ll always be linking things back to tools we’ve learnt, using them to bring things back on track.
I felt completely at ease and every session left me feeling more confident than before and ready to tackle any obstacles that were thrown my way.
My confidence has changed and I’m more in the mindset that I belong in this role. I can lead situations with a lot more confidence. We’re seeing results"
