Allison Shotwell M.A. 

Allison’s background is as a therapist, leadership consultant, trainer, and coach, and holds a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College. For 18 years she has nerded out on getting to the bottom of what’s not working and finding the small behaviors that lead to big change. She loves making complex things simple (like getting people to listen, do what you want them to do, talk about hard things, manage people and align as a team). 

She’s worked closely with educational leaders and teams and understands how challenging and stressful it can be to work in high pressure and highly regulated environments. She has extensive experience getting to the root of problems, systematically removing barriers to make changes (often small tweaks) that lower everyone’s stress, accelerates progress and gets things done. 

She works compassionately and sensitively, having tremendous understanding for the vulnerability and courage it takes to be a leader and excels at earning the respect, trust and cooperation of individuals and teams.
