Dr Alison Edgar MBE

Business Speaker specialising in mindset shifts, communication and high performance

Dr Alison Edgar MBE is a transformational business speaker with over three decades of experience leading and excelling across global organisations.

Her corporate career put her inside a company that once dominated its industry worldwide, where she saw firsthand how resisting change in emerging markets triggered a cataclysmic decline.

That experience shaped her mission to understand what drives high-performing teams and future-ready leaders.

Today, she helps organisations empower their people to take ownership and drive high performance with her powerful methodology.

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.
