High-Performance Speaker
Dr Alison Edgar MBE helps teams build the habits behind strong results, from ownership to sharper decisions, so the performance holds up in the day job, long after the event.
What Avanos said
“Alison was fantastic at our European Sales Conference and aligned with the brief perfectly. She truly motivated the teams, took on board our company values and delivered an engaging, inspirational speech.”
What actually drives high performance?
The teams that pull ahead are rarely the ones with the best product or the clearest strategy. They are the ones where everyone acts as though the outcome is theirs. Across three decades in business, Dr Alison Edgar MBE kept seeing it: high performance is a set of behaviours, and behaviours can be taught.
That is what her framework, The Intrapreneur Mindset, does. It gives people a practical way to connect their daily decisions to how the business does, so they take responsibility and stop waiting to be told. The difference shows up back at work, long after the room has emptied.
She brings it with three decades in business and an MBE for services to entrepreneurship behind her.
Why organisations book Alison Edgar
The point of a high-performance speaker is whether your team performs differently afterwards. Here is what you get with Alison.
Performance is a behaviour
High performance is a set of behaviours, and behaviours can be taught. Alison works on how people decide and act, so the lift holds up once everyone is back at work.
Ownership at every level
Her Intrapreneur Mindset framework gets teams to stop waiting to be told and start acting like owners, which is what sustains performance over time.
Evidence, not adrenaline

What clients say
Alison just 'gets it' around business. We focused on performance culture and a growth mindset, and she immediately understood what we were trying to achieve. An inspiration and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Working with Alison and her team was great from start to finish! Alison took the time to understand our sales teams, our culture and the key messages we were going to share during our event to help tailor her content and meet our needs. Her delivery was high energy and she engaged with the audience throughout which was brilliant. Thank you Alison!
Vertiv Alison's session was genuinely inspiring and incredibly relevant to our B2B teams. Not only did she bring real experience and relatable, tangible stories, but she also spent the morning with us and seamlessly wove our own content into her talk which made it land even more powerfully. Her message encouraged us to be braver, try new things, and reconnect with the skills we sometimes forget we have. The session was motivating, practical, and directly applicable to our roles. Our teams loved her energy, her authenticity, and her encouragement. A fantastic addition to our annual B2B Kick-Off.
