Coaching services
What is coaching? Coaching starts with talking about your experiences and figuring out solutions to meet a need. Coaching is goal-oriented, behavior-based communication strategies that can be used immediately. Coaching is practical and useful conversation and homework for you or your team. I take a holistic approach to understanding your place in the workplace. You are one building block in a big system which includes your team/coworkers, friends, family, and all of the experiences you’ve had up to this point. All these systems work together and influence each other. In coaching, we will talk about all of the people and moving parts in your life in order to find solutions to common problems.
Consulting in your workplace
Do you have a sticky situation in the office? Consulting starts with a discovery process in your workplace.

Contact her for a specialized quote based on your organization’s needs.
Workshops on professional communication enhancement
Do you already know what your workplace needs more of? And you want it in a hands-on, interactive (and possibly FUN) event? Then workshops will work best for you. In interactive training sessions your team will discover new strategies for overcoming common hurdles in the workplace.
Research
Dr. Allison Alford conducts research on families, professional life, and vocational strategies. Allison advocates for creating and using language that reflects the effort and energy necessary to perform various family roles. For example, in some of her recent research, Allison showed that daughters are providing support, nurturing, and more for their aging mothers. This work and effort in the family system she describes as daughtering. Allison conducts research on a variety of professional and vocational topics related to the family system.
Thought Leadership
With all the noise and chaos in our world, it is imperative that brands work intentionally to stand out. Thought leadership showcases your niche point-of-view and demonstrates to your peers, clients, and competitors that you are a force to be reckoned with. Thought leadership reveals your bold ideas and leads to lasting social impact.
Masterclasses
When your team needs to learn, understand, and grow, it’s time for a masterclass. In Dr. Alford’s masterclasses, your team gains key knowledge in a highly-engaged, understandable format. In her masterclass, similar to a webinar or virtual training, Dr. Alford harnesses her vast teaching experience from years as a professor to both undergraduate and graduate students, deploying her proven interactive learning techniques along with a fun style that keeps everyone engaged.
Speaking Appearances
Do you need a keynote speaker at your event? Using her academic and professional experiences, Allison can speak to your group about professional communication topics that resonate. Contact her today for a proposal and free discovery call.
