Alison Fragale’s book, Likeable Badass, is both deeply insightful and immediately actionable. Alison brought that same clarity, energy, and depth to the keynote she delivered at our company’s all-hands event. She spoke to an audience of nearly 900 people—across all roles, backgrounds, and genders—and the response was overwhelmingly positive. She was thoughtful and flexible in tailoring her talk to our team, and her message resonated in a way that was both empowering and unifying.

Alison delivered an amazing professional training and team-building experience. Her negotiation workshop was one of the best executive development programs I’ve ever observed. As impressed as I was by the depth of experience, research and analysis she brought to her presentation, I was even more impressed by the way she brought the engagement to life in the room with her brilliance and focus.

Alison Fragale’s work on collaboration and influence is some of the best I have encountered in my two-decade career in learning and development. What I saw and heard brought voice to many things I’ve done in my career but didn’t know how to convey to others.

I have worked with Alison over the last decade and seen her engage audiences around the world at levels from senior executives to flag officers to MBA students. Alison approaches topics of negotiation, power, influence and leadership with a deep knowledge of the most relevant and current research in the area while making it tangible, accessible and most importantly, actionable for her audience. Her energy and passion for delivering insights that can help executives grow sticks with you — I have talked to participants years later who were with Alison for only an hour who talk about how her session helped them in a recent negotiation.

If you are looking for a speaker who is engaging, knowledgeable and personable, Alison Fragale should be on your list. She quickly establishes credibility with an audience and holds its attention with accessible stories and examples from research. We have engaged Alison for over six years and continue to be impressed by her ability to understand our business and culture, connect with our leaders and inspire personal and organizational change.
