WHO should participate?

HOW WAS THIS
WORKSHOP DEVELOPED?
Alison built the Take the Reins Experience combining lessons
earned across the many layers of her own life:
3 decades helping to build
$Billion run-rates in global tech corporations.
4 decades of study, failure, triumph & growth in understanding wellness and human potential
A broad range of multi-cultural experiences
from over a lifetime
An urgency to live life to its fullest after the sudden passing of her dad, and her own unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2020.
Her own special combination of (Clifton) strengths as: Achiever, Empathy, Developer,
Significance and Restorative
WHAT MAKES THIS WORK
IMPORTANT?
We are all capable of greatness right now.
And sometimes, our blind spots and assumed storylines can stand in the way of whatever success means to each one of us – this is part of what it means to be human.
We run faster and work harder, and achieve things, and yet, something STILL seems to be missing from our overall fulfillment!
Working even faster and harder isn’t the answer!
We each have ONE LIFE. And we have agency
to produce our own results.
Why not right now?

“I am so glad that I invested my time in Take the Reins: Be the CEO of Your Life. Professionally,
I am a CEO of a nonprofit organization. Alison's program gave me the opportunity to pause, self-reflect, and check in with myself and make sure I'm aligned inside out so I'm able to show up every day, give my best, and make a difference in other's lives.
This was a very structured, resourceful, and engaging workshop that I highly recommend to everyone starting as young as 16 because I wish I had taken this workshop then and become more aware of the choices I had even then to lead an abundant life.”

"Alison was inspiring, thought-provoking, and inclusive. I am walking away from this experience more confident in my career and life direction.
It feels like a cleanse for your heart and mind! I also loved how ACTIONABLE it was. It was not a sit-back and relax type of webinar that got tiring. I was engaged the entire time. I felt like I was in the driver's seat and not passive."

“Such a great way to get clear on Taking the Reins for this coming year!
Alison led us in a systematic process to help uncover what is truly important in our lives
and gave the avenue to develop goals, so to live in congruence.”

“Grappling with the knowledge that there's a version of your life that you know can exist, but not really knowing how to get there is something I think a lot of us struggle with. Working through these huge goals that we have, but in a way that breaks them down and makes them much more attainable (if you choose to show up for yourself) was game changing. My life might be in store for some very big changes, but for the first time in months I feel prepared to take those head on.
Thank you so much Alison, truly.”

Her thoughtful, honest, and action-oriented process opens your internal doors to explore all the potential that is already inside you... and get it out into the wild. Invest in yourself - this experience from The Lens Leadership is a game-changer.”

“The format, atmosphere, and overall delivery of this experience were none other than amazing.
I have clear and concise steps before me to assist me as I live the life of my dreams! The practical steps, clarifying conversations, and connections made here truly have the capacity to shift the trajectory of my life. I especially liked that the impetus was placed in our hands.
It wasn't a "follow me" presentation.”
