Alison Canavan

We are in a period of transition where the possibilities are limitless, and the future of leadership invites a paradigm shift. This requires leaders who understand the power of self-awareness, authenticity, and compassion. “Leading from Within” is a visionary approach to leadership that fosters personal growth, inspires teams, and catalyzes positive change in society through the mastery of one’s own energy.

People think they need better time management, but they actually need better energy management. In a world where people feel like they are always playing catch up with a never ending to do list, it can be helpful to understand energy management. Understanding energy helps us to become more present, focused, efficient, less stressed, sleep better and have better quality relationships.

In this keynote, Alison encourages participants to look at energy as a currency, asking questions like; How do you spend your energy each day? Do you save your energy for when you need it? What habits deplete your energy and what habits are life giving?

Audiences will follow Alison through practical exercises in order to experience a shift in their own energy in real time. Energy is contagious and through the lens of understanding coherence, participants have the opportunity to understand the energy of stress and anxiety and how to transform that to an energy of presence, patience and calm.

Through heart centered consciousness and learning to master your own energy, the three C’s – connection, community, and coherence – become the pillars and foundation upon which a strong life and, in turn, a strong business is built.

Key takeaways include: 

• The currency of energy – how to spend, save, and invest yours
• How the way you start your day determines how you spend your energy
• Alison’s Stop, Catch, and Change Technique for interrupting behavior patterns
• Coherence techniques for stress reduction

• How to change your day in only 5 minutes

For some people the joy has literally been sucked out of life like a vacuum. The busyness epidemic has created a paradigm of surviving rather than thriving. This has caused increased individual stress as well as strained cultures in the workplace.

In this thought-provoking keynote, Alison looks at life like a game where we all have the choice to take part and become a key player in our own lives.

Are you a conscious or unconscious player? Are you a victim or a victor in your own life?

Alison offers various practical thinking tools to help you become not only an active and conscious player of life, but a thriving and joyful one too.
