Simple, Yet Profound
"I am so impressed by Allison Graham's approach to resiliency. Her model is simple, yet profound."
I help high-achieving leaders and their teams stop destructive stress patterns that cause overwhelm, to-do list anxiety, workplace frustration, and sub-optimal performance.
You can’t exercise your way out of an overwhelming project plan or meditate your way through a contentious meeting with a client or colleague – but you can shift your response to circumstances and stop triggering a destructive stress response.
Join thousands of professionals who have successfully leveraged my frameworks to consistently find a more frequent state of flow, achieve more contentment at work and experience consistent, guilt-free time away from their heavy workload.
A fresh way of thinking provides a more complete solution compared to typical activity-based stress reduction techniques.

"Allison’s keynotes offered inspiration and results that lasted long after her speech was done.
For example, one of the many stories of impact included after hearing Allison speak, a leader on my team self-identified as being caught in the victim trap, recognized her tendency to complain too much, took responsibility for her negative contribution to team dynamics and committed to practicing Allison’s formula."

It looked like I had it all. A budding media career, political aspirations and a speaking business with enviable clients. Like so many others, the public smile did not reflect the reality behind the curtain. I was overwhelmed; on the verge of burnout…
Surgeries, losses and injuries forced me to re-evaluate my never-ending workload. Frustrated with trite advice that didn’t make an impact, I went on a resilience mastery journey to learn how to feel fulfilled and create a successful career – even with the reality of my circumstances.
It became obvious to me that I was getting sucked into destructive stress patterns that were making the tough stuff – and my day-to-day workload – harder to navigate.
I realized that the answer was to shift my relationship with challenge and change. I stopped expecting problems to disappear. Instead, I started solving problems more efficiently and navigating issues out of my control more effectively.
As a result, I created problem-solving, resilience-building, capacity-amplifying systems that I have shared with thousands of professionals.
My mission is to inspire others to live less stressful, more joyful lives – no matter their circumstances.
