RIGHTFIT CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Alison is one of those rare business partners who combines strong strategic business thinking with a passion for people. By thinking of employees as internal customers, she is helping our company more fully leverage our team members to help drive our business. I am inspired by Alison's energy and would recommend her to any organization considering her consulting services.

Larisa Semmel Drake - EVP and CMO at Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.

We engaged Alison to work with a manager who was very strong technically but struggled to gain momentum as a leader. Her ability to tie feedback from around the organization into identifiable and measurable objectives, truly helped turn a functioning team into a high-performing team in less than a year. The ultimate compliment to Alison’s work was at the end of the engagement: not only did Management affirm the progress, the manager asked about using her as a personal coach going forward.

Pat Preimesberger - Human Resources Leader at Vortex Optics

After conducting research on local vendors, I selected Alison to provide consulting and executive coaching to one of the most-visible leaders in our organization, and to deliver emotional intelligence training to first line managers and hourly staff on how to work more cohesively. Alison has an innate ability to truly listen and design realistic solutions; she always kept an eye on the true issues and kept us on target. She was largely responsible for helping us turn around the employee morale and trust with our hourly staff.

Gao (Moua) Yang - Director of Human Resources at Neighborhood House

I hired Alison as a consultant to facilitate our Strategic Marketing Planning. I was extremely impressed with her marketing planning expertise and ability to translate that knowledge into actionable and workable exercises yielding insights and motivations for my team to think differently in how we view and approach our go-to-market strategy.

Her preparation in understanding our business AND more importantly our customers was rigorous, detailed and exemplary resulting in a very productive planning session and action plan. I highly recommend Alison for any company looking to hire an external partner to assist them with their strategic planning process.

Susan Downs - Direct Marketing Analyst at Uline

Alison provided objective and sound guidance to both the executive team and to the board in an organization undergoing nearly continuous change. Her broad business perspective and operational expertise extend well beyond the HR domain. Alison is very effective at understanding complex, cross-disciplinary issues, developing alternative approaches, and is particularly gifted at communicating and implementing change. Her style is direct but not confrontational. [At my previous organization], Alison became a trusted CEO confidant and earned respect of the entire executive team.

Frederick Robertson, MD - Venture Partner, Baird Capital

As a coach, Alison is one of the best I have ever worked with. She is patient and will work with you in how you are comfortable talking and learning about yourself which is paramount. Alison can quickly distill how you like to work, is able to pick up trends in stories and behaviors and ensure you leave every session with an actionable step to work on. As a business leader, there is nothing more powerful than having a key partner who actively listens, challenges you and is able to work with you to help you build you up to leverage your strengths while helping you manage through your opportunities.

Jilian Adams - Global Director, Talent Acquisition and Global Functions HRBP at Interface

Working with Alison on my development was incredible. She helped me consider different points of view; both my self-awareness and self-confidence grew significantly. Without Alison, I would not have become such a valuable member of my Leadership Team.

Marlo Graceffa - Director of Human Resources & Organizational Development at Ovation Communities

Alison has an uncanny ability to see complex business and organizational challenges from multiple angles and offer practical, effective solutions to those situations. Her impact at the executive level was enormous. Alison's professional sense of humor and upbeat, positive approach were both refreshing and hugely helpful in dealing with many stressful situations.

Steve Books - Executive Vice President at Phoenix, LLC

Alison delivered a relevant, highly engaging class for a group of 25 aspiring leaders. She displays a professional presence as a skilled facilitator, as well as a thoughtful approach to instruction to reach learners in a variety of ways. She has a great sense of humor and is fun to work with!
