Overall Alison is a pleasure to interact, work and learn from and I look forward to working with her again soon"

She inspired us all and helped us to think constructively about how we can achieve our ambitions. Would definitely recommend Alison for future events!"

"From start to finish, working with Alison was an absolutely pleasure and joy. It can often sound like a cliche, but she is truly inspirational. This very clearly came across in the session that she provided to members of the team on her bestselling book, SMASH IT! What was great was that Alison worked with me to ensure that the session took account of the context within which we were working at the time, with the aim of supporting staff through difficult times and periods of change. The feedback from those who attended was more than positive and it was quite clear Alison had had an impact on all of us, in different ways."

During the event Alison’s energy and passion was there for all to see. The content really resonated with the team and they were able to connect it to real life work and home situations. Alison has some great stories and her engaging and funny delivery style made the team feel right at home. I would highly recommend Alison if you are looking to inspire and motivate your team in the future."

"Alison was so engaging and inspirational in her approach on stage, immediately capturing the attention of her audience. I know that our managers went away with lots of things to think about and a few new tools that they can use as a leader within our business.I was so impressed by the care and attention Alison puts into her session prior to the event with several working group conversations to ensure the content was tailored to our conference key messages and overall theme, this really made a difference linking in with our day. We would be thrilled to work with Alison again and have no doubt in recommending her to anyone looking for a wonderful speaker & host!"

"Alison came to speak at our Bournemouth University Staff Service Excellence Conference in April – this conference is one of the highlights of our year and attracts a full house. Alison was one of our keynote speakers and was absolutely wonderful. Alison spent time getting to know me and our requirements and spent the full day with us – which we always appreciate. Her talk was entertaining, and informative and is already having a lasting impact on the staff who attended. I have no hesitation in recommending Alison, she will delight your attendees and is very easy to work with."

"Alison was an excellent speaker for an event targeted at University of Southampton academics. Alison was engaging, genuine and captured the audience immediately. She created an interactive and engaging space where attendees could re-frame their mindset. Overall, Alison and the team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Providing a collaborative approach to organising a great event!"

"It was great to work with Alison. The pre-event communication and organisation was excellent. During this Alison ensured that she understood the audience she was working with and agreed the content in advance. She fulfilled the brief very well, and adapted well to a minor change to the schedule caused by technical issues earlier in the day with no fuss whatsoever. As the keynote speaker at the end of the day, the brief included re-energising and motivating participants as a call to action, which worked very well and drew on her understanding of the group (a group of school leaders) gathered from the pre-session communication and during the day itself. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison as a motivational speaker."

"Alison was extremely professional, friendly and engaging- I would highly recommend."

"What a seamless and lovely experience it was to work with Alison for our graduation event. Having been let down by an internal supplier with less than 3 weeks until the event date, thinking it would probably be too late, Alison absolutely saved the day. The response was really quick and we set up a meeting to discuss our requirements within a couple of days and Alison was extremely flexible in meeting our needs. On the day Alison was a fantastic ball of positive energy infecting everyone she came into contact with. She was able to put together an excellent presentation within a very short window, even making last minute adjustments at a moments notice, and the audience lapped it up! If you're looking for a fun engaging positive speaker, Alison is definitely your go to. Thank you Alison!"

"Alison was everything we could have possibly wanted as our motivational speaker for our annual event. She took the time to understand the language, the agenda and the content of the day and adapted this accordingly. She was professional, relaxed funny and engaging! A huge THANK YOU"

"From initial contact Alison was quick to respond to our needs and went to some length before our event to ensure she tailored her delivery to align to our themes and messaging for the day. That Alison managed to achieve audience participation after lunch on a Friday is testament to her delivery and the relevance of her material"

"Alison worked with the Senior Leadership Team on her intrapreneurship methodology. I loved Alison’s drive. It made the session really engaging and helped keep everyone’s energy levels up!"

"I first met Alison Edgar at The Reach, Women in Leadership Summit where she was the closing speaker. Her talk was motivational and educational, which made her a perfect fit to work with the leadership team at Sky Betting and Gaming. She didn’t disappoint, the room was fully engaged with her session. Her delivery style is packed with humour and energy, which rubs off on everyone in the audience. She provokes thought and we are still using her techniques and talking about things Alison covered in the session. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend engaging with her to invigorate your team"

In February 2015, she was the Keynote speaker for the first event in the Middle-East of its kind, teaching intrapreneurship to business owners and professionals in Kuwait. We were extremely happy and have rebooked her to deliver another event."

"Alison Edgar MBE’s keynote speech on ‘SMASH IT! with intrapreneurship’ at our event for the Polish government was powerful. She was incredibly easy to work with, kept to time well, met the brief, and went above and beyond to keep the circa 10,000 viewers engaged and motivated. I know just who to call for my next entrepreneurship event"

It was imperative our management conference not only educated but motivated our senior leadership team. After much research, we came across Alison Edgar MBE to be our keynote speaker at the event. She nailed the brief and, on the day, not only energized the room and made us all laugh but exceeded our expectations. Our team still refer and use ‘Alison Edgar’s Big Balls’. If you’re looking for an engaging and motivational speaker, look no further than Alison Edgar MBE."

"As a director Great British Expo's I have worked with Alison for many years and I consider her to be one of the best female entrepreneurial speaker in the UK. Alison's keynotes are always incredibly engaging, inspirational and entertaining. We attract over 6,000 business leaders to our events annually and have year on year invited Alison to keynote speak at several of our flagship events throughout the country due to her popularity. Most recently we engaged Alison to inspired the audience at our Windsor event with her talk on 'Tenacity using Growth Mindset'. The feedback we had was amazing. Not only was the audience moved by Alison's delivery style and hugely inspirational personal story, it also equipped and motivated them to help achieve their goals. I would highly recommend Alison to speak at any event, especially one focusing on sales which is her specialist field (she really sparkles)."
