Dr Alison Edgar MBE

Business Speaker reshaping how teams think, communicate and deliver high performance.

According to Gallup*, 90% of the UK workforce are either not engaged or actively disengaged.

Are your team:

  • Siloing in their departments, resulting in a breakdown of communication?

  • Resisting change or change fatigued

  • Missing deadlines or misunderstanding priorities?

  • Demotivated and down right unhappy? 

  • Stuck in a “that’s how we’ve always done it” mindset? 

All teams have the potential to excel. They just need to know how.

Dr Alison Edgar MBE has the solution.

With an Honorary Doctorate and an MBE for business, Alison brings authority and credibility built on experience.

Meet Alison…

Alison is a transformational business speaker with over three decades of experience working within some of the world’s best-known brands.

Her corporate career took her inside a company that was once untouchable — a monopoly that lived in almost every home — where she saw firsthand how failure to adapt to change led to cataclysmic decline.

What she witnessed changed the trajectory of her life.

That experience ignited her fascination with what separates businesses that just survive from those that thrive. Today, she helps leaders and teams avoid the same fate, building cultures where people take ownership and high performance becomes the default setting.

Alison has helped some of the world’s largest organisations embrace change, communicate effectively, and achieve high performance.

“In simple terms we received roughly the same amount of opportunities in H2 as H1 but converted 54 million pounds more into paid deals and Alison’s session played a huge part in this impressive increase.”

Meet Alison:

UK Motivational Speaker

Most keynote speakers stand on stage and talk about themselves.

Their achievements. Their journey. Their success.

But sometimes that can feel more demotivating than inspiring. Does “that’s great for them, but I can't do that” sound familiar?

I recognised this early on, from my days as a delegate. Not only do I now walk the corporate corridors as an advisor, but I was once an employee too. I see both sides of the coin, so I truly understand the unique challenges teams face. That’s why I tell my story differently.

I only share my journey as proof that obstacles can be overcome -  regardless of the cards you've been dealt. My real focus is showing teams how they can succeed in the face of adversity, whatever that looks like to them.

That’s what makes my sessions different. My story isn’t the message. Your people are the message.
