As an Executive Coach and Coaching Educator since 1996, Alison has seen the transformative power of coaching in maximizing the full potential of people. Passionate about what coaching can do and how it can affect every aspect of how we live, work, and communicate, Alison’s vision is that EVERYONE learns how to coach. To realize that vision, she created Coaching Out of the Box^®, and in that time over 33,000 people in 38-plus countries have experienced the Flagship 5/5/5 Coaching Skills Training Program™.  She has been at the forefront of embracing technology as another way for people to learn coaching via robust virtual classrooms since 2008.

Alison led a faculty team at Royal Roads University for 13 plus years with the Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching Program at Royal Roads University and was pivotal in it achieving the reputation as the most highly respected Executive Coaching Program in Canada.  During her leadership, over 1,200 leaders from all parts of Canada plus the US, Europe, and Asia achieved the rigorous CEC designation.

Her work with the International Coach Federation, the largest professional organization for coaches in the world, contributed to ensuring standards of practice and educational requirements are met. She achieved the Master Certified Coach designation in 1999 and is one of only 1,676* coaches worldwide to achieve this designation.
