My Journey to Training and Facilitation

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills not just as a trainer, but as a facilitator of real change. Throughout my career, I’ve navigated a diverse array of sectors, adapting my approach to meet the unique needs of each industry. My journey has seen me working across Care, Defence, Manufacturing and Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Financial Services, Oil, Gas and Energy, Public Sector, and Retail.

This varied experience has enriched my training sessions, allowing me to bring a unique perspective and a wealth of practical insights. I firmly believe that learning shouldn’t be a chore. My approach is rooted in real-life experiences, making every session with me not just educational but also relatable. It’s about stripping away the unnecessary and focusing on what truly matters. No fluff, no jargon – just clear, concise, and practical training that sticks.

My sessions are designed to be interactive and dynamic, ensuring that you walk away not just with knowledge, but with real-world solutions that you can apply as soon as you step back into work.

“Last year I was fortunate enough to be placed on a developing leaders programme. This is when I first met Alison and soon became totally inspired by her passion, her energy, dedication and knowledge. Each of the courses Alison delivered were interactive which made the learning journey more enjoyable and therefore memorable. The content was relevant and delivered in a way that was understood by all in the team. Alison has helped me to build my confidence and to believe in myself. This has enhanced my ability to undertake and develop new skills and to be better placed to take on new responsibility of leading and managing others.”

Her sense of humour, personal approach combined with the passion for training and people development are the attributes which make Alison a trainer and facilitator I enjoy working with and learning from. “

Charlotte Pusch, Senior Human Resources Manager, Linde

“Alison took me through a suite of learning courses during my time at Hilton Foods. Alison was able to guide me and my colleagues through a self improvement course which can sometimes feel contrived and patronising, but instead made it engaging, fun and worthwhile. It’s made me better at my job and helped me move forward in my career.”

Liam Murphy, Consumer Insight Director, Worldpanel by Kantar
