Testimonial Carousels

Hannah Tribe, Principal, Tribe Studio Architects

Working with Allison has been incredible for my growth as a leader. With care and compassion, she has helped me to identify patterns in my work behaviour, address and then seek to understand those behaviours from a place of patience, curiosity and care such that I am totally motivated and propelled to change. I have had several coaches over the last 23 years, and Allison is the first to really get under the bonnet in a way that is compassionate, clearheaded and insightful, and with the power of her insights, she can bring me to ah-ha moments that genuinely land and have a lasting impact on my ability to lead my team.

I look forward to my sessions with Allison. She is a clear communicator, very experienced, attentive, curious and a top-notch listener. I always walk away lighter, energised and with clarity and purpose. Part of her magic is that she seems to pair the insight/direction with the motivator…so that not only am I clear on what to do/try/change but I am super pumped to give it a crack.

I have also been impressed and grateful for Allison’s high levels of intuition. When I have turned up in a state of stress or overwhelm, it’s almost like she can immediately feel it, and she helps me put the time and effort into getting into a more productive headspace for the kinds of conversations we have. This is a gift in itself, and it is also testament to Allison’s agility and ability to be what is needed in the moment.

Caz McLean, Director Strategy and Org Performance

Allison embodies her principle of placing humans at the centre of leadership and transformational change. By supporting and enabling emergent process, she takes people on the journey with her, building capability every step of the way. A sensitive and intuitive executive coach, Allison knows when to gently push and when to help people take a step back to breathe, creating the space that is needed for individuals to reflect and grow – essential if we are to reach our full potential. I loved every minute I spent working with Allison across transformational change in two organisations where her value was strongly experienced and greatly appreciated. I cannot wait to work with Allison again and would recommend her to any organisation wanting to embrace the change needed to create modern organisations and empowered people in a realistic, practical, empathetic, and strategic manner.

Leanne Williams, CEO Myli

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Allison. Her ability to connect our values and objectives in a creative way was quite unique. She knows her stuff and the quality of her work was exceptional. I loved her thoughtful and curious approach that challenged our team and I to think deeper and differently, gaining a broader perspective. Her work had a ripple effect on our organisation that continues to provide a language that accurately captured the heart of our mission. I highly recommend Humans Who Lead.

Liz Watts, Former Senior Director, The Hackett Group, AsiaPacific

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Allison as we sought to take our small consulting company on a journey towards a set of values and behaviours that we could all align against, and that could provide a solid platform for growth. Through a series of probing and thoughtful questions, Allison was quickly able to synthesise the challenges and opportunities we faced, and demonstrated her expertise in structuring a first workshop that allowed all voices to be heard and brought to the surface the key areas where alignment was most important. She is patient, empathetic and highly intuitive, and built a strong rapport with all of the team. Allison’s intervention, and subsequent coaching, allowed us to land on a set of five core values and supporting behaviours which we were able to agree on as a team. I cannot recommend Humans Who Lead highly enough.

Iolanda Meehan, Former Managing Director Veldhoen Company, Asia Pacific

I found the Liberating Structures Immersion Workshop a great exposure to different tools and ways to engage with each other. As the world gets bigger and technology more prevalent in our lives, the opportunities from engaging with others are usually limited to some boring.
