Meet Allison
Excited to meet you! I’m a leadership coach — and a product designer, professor, entrepreneur, and sailor… Coaching is where I bring it all together: guiding individuals and teams to bring their whole selves to align with what matters most.
With over a decade of experience leading design in Silicon Valley startups and Fortune 500 innovation labs and now teaching communication and leadership in the MBA program at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, I found my calling in bringing my ethnographic research and design skills to helping people unlock their individual creativity and impact.
I support clients in their unique growth journeys with my blend of design thinking, deep passion for helping people and professional non-directive coaching skills from Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute’s intensive training (final certification in progress).
I also love dancing (mostly flamenco!), working on my sailboat, walking my dog and singing in a community choir.
The ocean has the answers
I’ve found my greatest joy — and so many metaphors for coaching, leading, communicating, and life..! — on the water, whether sailing in a race on the Bay, puttering around on my little sailboat in San Francisco, scuba diving, kiteboarding, or just watching the sunset, and I just love to share this with others.
Please get in touch especially if this resonates with you (or if you’re just open to inspiration from our natural world!).
