About me
Hi! I’m Allison, a leadership coach and your thrival guide. And someone who’s lived the highs and heartbreaks of leading a mission-driven organization. I work with nonprofit leaders who are tired, just like I was. I paved a path forward for myself, and you can too. You don't have to figure this out alone. You don't have to burnout for your organization to thrive.
I can’t wait to help you nurture a thriving career and workplace.
I have been confidently “bossy” since the age of four when my younger sister was born — eventually I because the "boss" at a nonprofit and my confidence started to sway. Eventually I developed a powerful, intentional leadership style rooted in inclusion and collaboration. Today I lead by listening, coaching, and helping others build the clarity and courage they need to lead — or leave — well.
For ten years I led a mission-drive organization that I deeply loved and our mission mattered. Eventually, I realized something powerful: Staying when you're depleted isn't noble. It's dangerous. So I built my own roadmap—one that let me exit gracefully, preserve my relationships, and protect the organization I helped build. And it worked. I left with peace, clarity, and a new sense of purpose.
I'm excited to share the tips and tricks I developed over the years to build a thriving workplace in a thriving environment. I will also share the strategies I used when I decied that I was done. No matter where you are in your journey, and where you think you want to go, I'm here to help.
Today, when not traveling the world using points and miles, I live in a tiny house in the Crown Hill neighborhood of Indianapolis with my community cat, Weezy, who sometimes comes inside 😉.
