My TEDx Journey: From Idea to the Iconic Red Dot
It was an immense honour to step onto the iconic red circle at TEDxNorthwich. My talk, “The Problem with Generational Stereotypes at Work,” was the culmination of a deeply personal and rigorous journey.
The process, from crafting an “idea worth spreading” to the intense preparation and the terrifying panel pitch, was challenging yet incredibly rewarding. It pushed me to distil nearly 30 years of insights into a single, impactful message. The support from the TEDx team and fellow speakers was phenomenal, creating a true sense of community. Standing on that stage was a powerful moment, a testament to personal growth, and a privilege to share an idea with a global audience. This experience has only deepened my commitment to inspiring transformative conversations.
Alison did an excellent job chairing MHVision 2026: The NHS Mental Health Strategy & Reform Conference. She brought warmth, professionalism and structure to the day, helping to create an engaging and inclusive environment for speakers, delegates and partners.
Alison managed the agenda confidently, encouraged thoughtful discussion and helped ensure the programme flowed well throughout the day. Delegate feedback was very positive, with 95.5% of respondents rating her chairing as either good or excellent.
We would be very pleased to work with Alison again at future Convenzis events

“I have been running business networking events for women in the North West for thirteen years and I have very strong criteria which I use when inviting people to speak. Whether it is a large event, workshop or small spotlight event, I only choose speakers I have heard before because my reputation depends upon people enjoying and gaining value from the talks I provide.
I am also part of a team called Phenomenal Woman which trains delegates in the Art of Public Speaking. When I heard Alison’s final speech at one of our sessions in 2023, I knew I had found a good reliable public speaker.
Alison is quick witted and charismatic when she gives talks. She is also good at adapting her talks to each audience she encounters. When she spoke for me at my Christmas lunch she gave me various topics to choose from and this is important. If you have a speaker who can speak on a number of subjects relating to their industry, you know you can invite them back and they will entertain the audience with new and fresh material.
I also give speakers time limits at my events and as my schedule depends on speakers not exceeding their allotted time, I was pleased that Alison adhered totally to my request. Her speech on this occasion was fascinating and unique and involved some audience participation and I was happy I had asked her to speak.”
Excellent speaker on mental resilience
Alison is a fantastic speaker who has captivated audiences with her insightful talks on mental resilience and leadership. I’ve had the pleasure of booking her twice for Liverpool Ladies Network and the feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive. Her ability to connect with audiences on a personal level and deliver practical advice has made her a sought-after speaker.
“She makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable in her sessions so you feel you can open up and discuss things.
We did a session on looking at taking back control of yourself and managing your wellbeing and it was such an eye opener! Alison delved into the mind and how it works and behaviours that result from it and it really resonated with me as I started to understand why I behave in certain ways sometimes.
100% recommend speaking to Alison.”
