OERSONAL RESILLIENCE
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining well-being is essential for personal, professional and organisational success. In this empowering presentation, Alison Edgar MBE shares practical strategies for managing stress, setting meaningful goals, and achieving work-life balance.
With a keen understanding of the stresses and strains of modern work life, Alison shares practical strategies for managing stress, setting achievable goals, and reclaiming balance. Drawing from her own experiences as well as psychological insights, she offers actionable tips tailored to address the unique pain points of those struggling with well-being in their professional or personal life.
CHANGE ON THE WAY UP
Change is inevitable—but success amidst change is not. It can be daunting, especially for those who fear uncertainty, resist disruption, or struggle with adapting to new ways of working. However, change doesn’t have to be a roadblock to success. In fact, those who embrace change with the right mindset and strategy can turn it into their greatest competitive advantage.
Dr Alison Edgar MBE knows this firsthand. Early in her career, she worked for a leading global company that dismissed the rise of digital innovation, famously stating, “That Google thing will never catch on.” That company, once a dominant player in its industry, failed to adapt and ultimately lost its market share to competitors who recognized the power of change and leveraged it for growth.
In this transformative and engaging session, Alison guides participants through the process of overcoming the challenges associated with change, from change fatigue and resistance within organisations to the fear of stepping into the unknown. She shares practical, actionable strategies that help individuals and teams not just cope with change—but embrace it as a catalyst for innovation, growth, and long-term success.

Cheshire College
"What a seamless and lovely experience it was to work with Alison for our graduation event. Having been let down by an internal supplier with less than 3 weeks until the event date, thinking it would probably be too late, Alison absolutely saved the day. The response was really quick and we set up a meeting to discuss our requirements within a couple of days and Alison was extremely flexible in meeting our needs. On the day Alison was a fantastic ball of positive energy infecting everyone she came into contact with. She was able to put together an excellent presentation within a very short window, even making last minute adjustments at a moments notice, and the audience lapped it up! "

Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy
"From first engaging with Alison there was an absolute synergy and engagement with her having an instant understanding of the aims and objectives for my event. Alison went out of her way pre-event to ensure that she was totally on point with her content in the context of the day. Her delivery was great, really in line with our overall theme, engaging, funny and informative and really resonated with our audience. My tip to anybody looking to engage Alison is to allocate the slot and then add extra time to it as she has so much content that is real and easy to relate to that it would be a shame not to experience it all.
