Dr Alison Edgar MBE
Keynote Speaker
Award-winning keynote speaker helping organisations turn employees into owners, and motivation into measurable results.

Keynote Speaker
Booking the right keynote speaker can make or break an event. The wrong choice leaves an audience entertained but unchanged; the right one sends people back to their desks thinking and working differently. Dr Alison Edgar MBE is firmly in the second camp.
Awarded an MBE for services to entrepreneurship and business, holder of an Honorary Doctorate, and author of two bestselling books, Alison is one of the UK's most sought-after keynote speakers on intrapreneurship, sales and culture — trusted by organisations from Amazon and Adobe to FTSE 100 boards.
Why Alison, and not the next name on the list?
Most keynote speakers tell a great story and leave the room inspired for an afternoon. Alison's keynotes are built on a method — Alison's signature approach to intrapreneurship — that gives audiences a framework they can use the very next morning. The result is measurable: after one keynote, a client converted £54 million more in the second half of their year than the first.
She is also, simply, a brilliant performer on stage: funny, direct, interactive and entirely without the polish-over-substance that makes audiences switch off.
“I loved Alison’s energy and natural approachable style – she felt like ‘one of us’ and connected in our world.”

A keynote sets the tone and shifts thinking for a whole audience; a workshop goes deeper with a smaller group. Alison offers both, and they work well in combination.
What audiences take away:
• A practical framework for thinking and acting like an owner, not just an employee.
• The confidence to take initiative and accountability without waiting for permission.
• Specific, applicable tools — not just motivation that fades after a few days.
